Schedule
Online group piano lessons are offered in the evening at 9 pm (Paris time), to fit around working days. Each session lasts one hour and follows the same methodology, regardless of the level of the group.
Online group piano lessons for adults
Learn piano from home with online group lessons designed for adults, whether you are a complete beginner or already experienced. A structured method, individual guidance and the motivating energy of a group to help you progress at your own pace, without having to travel.
Online piano lessons designed for adults: a live teacher, your own piano at home, and a flexible schedule.
A learning method designed for adults
Piano Académie has developed a progressive method that suits complete beginners as well as more advanced pianists who want to structure their playing. The lessons follow a clear progression, helping you build solid technical and musical foundations while keeping the joy of playing at the center.
This approach is particularly suitable if you want to learn how to read sheet music, play a varied repertoire and make steady progress. It will be less suitable if you are looking for lessons focused exclusively on improvisation or jazz.
Why choose online group lessons
Online group lessons offer a practical and efficient alternative to in-person classes, while maintaining a high level of support.
- Proven effectiveness: each student plays their own piece, with no need to stay in sync with the group.
- Personalized guidance: the teacher follows each student individually, providing real-time feedback and corrections.
- Group motivation: the group dynamic supports your regular practice and your desire to progress.
- Maximum flexibility: lessons accessible from anywhere, with no travel time, and time slots adapted to adults.
How the online group lessons work
Equipment needed
All you need is an acoustic or digital piano, a smartphone, computer or tablet with an Internet connection, and ideally a pair of headphones. Your device is positioned so that it shows both the keyboard and your upper body, enabling the teacher to clearly see your posture and movements.
Interactive teaching
During the lesson, the teacher works with each student in turn: explaining, demonstrating difficult passages, correcting posture and rhythm, then moving on to another participant. In between, you work independently on your piece. The format is collective, but the guidance is truly individualized.
Booking app
Lessons are booked through a dedicated app. You choose your lesson times according to your schedule, without being tied to a single fixed slot, within the limits of the number of sessions included in your plan. This organization gives you a lot of autonomy while keeping a regular learning framework.
The unlimited plan: practice several times a week
In September 2023, Piano Académie was one of the first schools to offer an unlimited subscription for in-person group lessons. After its success in Paris, with many adult students enrolled, we extended this option to online lessons.
The unlimited plan allows you to book up to one group lesson per day, with a maximum of five lessons per week. This gives you great flexibility and an ideal practice rhythm to progress quickly, while avoiding misuse thanks to a reasonable limit.
A varied repertoire adapted to your level
To make the online group format as effective as possible, we have built a catalogue of pieces in several styles: classical works, pop songs, film music and other carefully selected pieces. Each title is arranged at different levels, to ensure a smooth and motivating progression.
For beginners, some technical difficulties have been simplified.
The goal is for you to be able to play a complete piece within a few weeks, while developing real piano skills.
We do not use external scores in these lessons. Teachers must know each piece in depth to guide you precisely, and they do not have time during the lesson to discover new scores on request.
If you cannot find the piece you have in mind in our catalogue, you can let us know. We will consider adding an adapted version to a future update of the repertoire.

Online music theory lessons for adults
Music theory is not taught during the online piano lessons. It is not essential to get started, but it is very useful if you want to become more independent when reading music and understanding what you play.
To support this, we offer online music theory classes specifically designed for adults, with a practical, clear and progressive approach.
Two levels are available, in small groups, with 30-minute sessions.
- Monday at 9 pm
- Thursday at 9 pm
These classes can be purchased separately or included in the unlimited piano and theory subscription. You decide how much theoretical support you need.

From your first connection to your first lesson
Individual feedback, followed by time to practise
You do not have to play the same piece or at the same speed as everyone else. The teacher listens to each student in turn, identifies a passage to work on and gives a precise instruction: slow down, isolate a bar, adjust a fingering or check the rhythm. You then practise that instruction while the teacher works with another student.
Keep your microphone muted between turns, without headphones, so you can hear your own piano and the teacher calling you. When it is your turn, unmute and play. This is a live lesson with personal feedback, not a library of recorded tutorials.
Set up your instrument and camera
Prepare a piano or keyboard, a phone, tablet or computer with a camera and microphone, and a stable Internet connection. Position the camera so the teacher can see your hands, keyboard and upper body. A stable stand helps keep the view clear. An 88-key instrument is recommended; the preparation guide explains what to bring for a first lesson.
Hear the piano clearly on Zoom
The school’s existing tutorial explains how to enable original sound. Noise reduction can otherwise suppress some of the piano’s sound. Video in French.

Try a real group lesson
The trial takes place within a regular online group lesson. The teacher discusses your experience and goals, then chooses an exercise or passage suited to your level. Beginners and returning players can both take part. The current booking pages list the trial at €15. Choose an available slot and check the displayed time zone before confirming.
Schedules in your time zone
The booking calendar displays available trial slots and the selected time zone above the timetable. You can change the time zone if needed. Regular lesson bookings depend on the available sessions, your level and your chosen plan; consult the current schedule rather than assuming that every time is available.
