    In Person

    For those who want to sing or play the piano professionally, the best option is to have music lessons in person. Learning music in person is the best way to focus on professional goals, such as setting hands, fluent reading of notes, coordination of hearing and voice, developing finger fluency, developing an ear for music and sense of rhythm, a sense of artistic and aesthetic taste, growth and tackling challenging pieces or concepts.
