In-Person Piano Lessons vs. Online Piano Lessons 

PMA, like many other schools, has had to evaluate how to keep music lessons going. While we know the most effective way to teach and learn is in person, we also want to ensure our staff’s and students’ safety and peace of mind. PMA has gone above and beyond what is required for safety precautions, to insure safe in person music lessons. Safety Video. For the time being, in addition to in person classes, we will offer online piano and keyboard lessons and will be happy to discuss how we are offering the best online piano lessons possible.
