Your questions, answered
Online piano lessons are very similar to in-person lessons: personalized, private, live 1:1 instruction. The lessons take place over Zoom at a set day and time each week, just like in-person lessons. We tested online lessons to ensure that quality and progress are the same as in-person lessons and we are pleased to share that they are surprisingly similar.

We think it’s bananas that piano has been taught the same way for hundreds of years. Just as a child learns to speak before reading or writing, the Payam Method introduces piano in a natural, intuitive way. Our approach makes learning more accessible to all levels of learners by drawing from the psychology of language learning. For example, we start with our alphanumeric notation — using the familiar language of ABCs and 123s, not the foreign language of sheet music — to help students make meaningful progress and build confidence from day one.

Yes, of course! While we start our beginner level students with our patented alphanumeric notation, sheet music is introduced within the first few levels. We teach the beginner techniques in our notation, and then the student learns how to map it and read it in sheet music. This process continues back and forth until the student reaches the mid intermediate category, where at this point they are fully only reading sheet music. The transition has been seamless for thousands of students.
