<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

All courses are taught or curated by Dr. Chen personally. There are no assistants, no pre-recorded lectures by proxy \u2014 only direct, substantive instruction from an artist at the height of his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Questions About Online Piano Courses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Are online piano lessons as effective as in-person lessons?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For the vast majority of students, online piano lessons via Zoom are just as effective as in-person instruction. The key factors \u2014 quality of feedback, musical communication, and preparation guidance \u2014 translate fully to video. Most of Dr. Chen’s online students notice no meaningful difference in lesson quality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What equipment do I need for online lessons?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A reliable internet connection, a piano or weighted 88-key keyboard, a device with a camera (laptop or tablet works well), and ideally an external microphone for better audio. Dr. Chen can advise on setup optimisation during your first session.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What level do I need to be for the masterclass?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Masterclass in Interpretation is designed for intermediate to advanced pianists \u2014 broadly Grade 6 through professional level. If you’re unsure whether your level is appropriate, mention your current repertoire in your enquiry and Dr. Chen will advise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

When will the self-paced courses be available?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The self-paced video courses are currently in production. Join the waitlist via the enquiry form to be notified first when enrolment opens, and to receive early-access pricing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Can I take both private lessons and a masterclass at the same time?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes \u2014 many students combine weekly private lessons with participation in a masterclass cohort. The two formats are highly complementary: private lessons address individual technique and repertoire, while the masterclass provides the broadened perspective of hearing peers coached.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
