Learn how lessons work with Bentley Piano Academy
Weekly Private Lessons
Each week, you'll have a private lesson via Zoom. These one-on-one sessions are the heart of your learning experience. From there, you'll be given clear practice assignments, used to reinforce the skills you learned during your lesson.
- Choose 40-minute or 60-minute lessons based on your needs
- Flexible scheduling to fit your life
- Real-time feedback on technique and interpretation
Monthly Masterclass
During the final week of each month, instead of your regular private lesson, you'll participate in our group masterclass. This is an opportunity to perform for fellow students, receive feedback, and learn from watching others play.
- Supportive performance environment
- Learn from peers at various levels
- Build confidence and stage presence
Practice & Feedback
Between lessons, you'll never feel lost. Each week includes clear practice assignments, and you can submit practice videos for feedback throughout the week.
- Structured weekly practice assignments
- Midweek video feedback on your progress
- Optional music theory group classes available
Getting Started Online

Piano or Keyboard
An acoustic piano or digital keyboard with weighted keys.
Tripod and Smartphone Camera
Used to position a camera above the keyboard so the teacher can clearly see hand position.
Laptop or Tablet for Zoom
Used to view the lesson and any materials being shared during the session.
