But how fast you learn, your lifestyle, and the amount of time you can dedicate to your lessons are the factors that will determine how well you will learn piano, and which between those types of lessons will work better for you.
If you've decided to take lessons in person, you'll usually need to find a good tutor that will be able to guide you through the exercises and the playing styles which you will use to develop to an intermediate level of playing piano.
The other option of course, is to buy a course of piano lessons online. There are also a number of benefits when choosing this method to begin playing piano. Firstly, online lessons tend to be significantly cheaper than having a real-life teacher. Secondly, this method will really suit you if you cannot commit to regular appointments for your lessons, or you want to learn in your own time and pace.
