LONDON, Oct. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Many adults dream of playing the piano but most are unmotivated to start. There can be many reasons for this: fear of embarrassment, lack of self-confidence, or the belief that one is too old to start. You can now learn in secret at your own pace from expert piano teachers in the comfort of your own home.
Known for the finest piano lessons London has to offer, the Sokol Piano Academy has started offering individual lessons online in real-time. Students can choose to use WhatsApp or the Academy's own video platform. While online courses already exist, this is the first interactive virtual course with a real teacher.
'It is surprising that nobody has thought of doing this before', says Georges Sokol, the Academy's founder. 'Not only do students save time from travelling, but the lessons can also run more efficiently since you have two pianos at hand'. The student's smartphone rests on the side of the keyboard for the perfect angle, and the teacher does the same on their own piano.
As recently as 2003 when Skype was released, live video chat was the realm of science-fiction like in Star Trek. Now, the technology is here and it is widespread. WhatsApp has 1.5 billion monthly active users worldwide and in the UK, the app is installed on 84 per cent of all Android devices. The distinguished maestros of the Sokol Piano Academy teach a unique methodology that works even with complete beginners. The Academy's London piano teachers now have access to a global customer base. But it is the future piano apprentice who will benefit most from this novel way of learning from professionals.
