What parents are saying
How it works
1
We start with a video conference to get to know each other and set up your individualized plan. Your lesson arrives via email and will be practiced until you run into questions or complete your assignment.
2
Submit any questions via email or turn in your finished assignment with audio or video recording. I am always reachable by email and will respond within one or two business days.

I provide help and feedback until you have passed your lesson. When it’s completed, your next lesson arrives! This teacher involved guidance and accountability is what makes online lessons work.
Meet Your Teacher
I’m a California native who loves homemade bread, kayaking at Lake Tahoe, and cross-country skiing. I’m also a Mom of four and a Grandma to two little boys.
I began teaching piano at 14 after spending my childhood practicing and performing. I’m a teacher on a mission to help you read music & play the piano. I provide affordable and easy lessons for everyone with a desire to learn.
I am thrilled to share my REAL piano lessons with you. They come straight from my studio, directly to your home. My method works, and these 3-6 minute videos are the fundamentals of traditional piano lessons. I’ve used these exact methods to teach more than a 1,500 students in my own home.
Now you can learn to read music & play piano on your own schedule and still have your piano teacher available to answer questions as needed! Can’t wait to meet you and get you started on your piano playing journey.
Sincerely,
Coralie Harless
Frequently Asked Questions
Of course every piano teacher would love for a student to have a real piano, but a keyboard works just fine. Look for one with at least 61 keys, counting blacks and whites.
Sure. Just click the “TRY FREE LESSON” button at the bottom of this page.
Monthly tuition is only $79.99. You may cancel within the first 30 days and get a full refund. There is no long term obligation. The beginner course includes the online videos along with downloadable sheet music and worksheets. Intermediate and advanced students may need to purchase additional books or sheet music from 3rd parties like Amazon.
This all depends on your student. A 5-6 year old will require more time than an 8 year old. Parents ensure their child’s success by setting daily practice times. Video lessons are only a few minutes long. Ideally, parents will watch the lesson and get their child practicing the first day and then be available to communicate with the teacher as necessary. Parents will help with making and sending audio recordings.
Practice is the magic that allows piano students to succeed. It’s not hard, it simply takes repetition. Recommended practice is 15-20 minutes a day, 4-6 days per week. This can be broken into shorter sessions for younger learners.
This is a beginner course for children & adults. Children who can read even a simple sentence (and are able to sit and practice) can learn how to play here. The earliest ages (5 – 6) will require more parental help. Ages 7 – adult have the best success.
My Experience: We have 4 children. I started the first 2 when they were 4 & 5. I’m a consistent parent, the children practiced 7 days a week for 15 minutes. We started our other 2 when they were older and began to read. The difference? What took the younger beginners 16 months, the older beginners learned in 14 weeks. The older beginners were able to practice far more on their own but our younger beginners required parent help every day. The older beginners advanced quickly and could see their progress. They responded to new challenges well whereas the younger beginners advanced slowly and were unable to recognize their growth.
