Lessonface review

Lessonface is the only option on this list that puts a live teacher in front of you. It has connected students with music teachers for live online lessons since 2012, and its piano section lists teachers for classical, pop, jazz, gospel, rock and new age piano, plus beginner specialists, theory and composition teachers and ABRSM exam prep. Some teachers offer a free trial lesson, which is a sensible way to check the fit before booking a series. A teacher can see your hands and posture, set pieces at the right level and keep a child accountable, which no app can fully match. For a lower cost, the Lessonface Pass gives access to more than 60 live group piano classes for $29 a month. Lessonface is a public benefit corporation and says it aims to treat teachers equitably. The downsides are cost and logistics: private lesson prices are set by each teacher, and you have to schedule sessions.
