FAQ

Our online piano classes from India are ideal for children (6+), teenagers, and adults – whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced player. Young learners under 8 years old should be supported by a parent during lessons and home practice.

Encore Piano Academy focuses on Western classical piano training. Around 80% of our structured curriculum is based on classical repertoire and technique. The remaining 20% can include contemporary Western styles, tailored to each student’s interest.

We follow a curriculum aligned with internationally recognised exam boards such as Trinity College London and ABRSM, making us one of the few online piano academies in India offering exam-ready training. Exams are optional but the curriculum is designed to meet global standards.

Each student attends four one-on-one online piano classes per month, typically 60 minutes each. Lessons are conducted over Zoom and include performance coaching, technical work, theory, sight-reading, ear training, and guided practice planning.

  • A digital or acoustic piano (88 keys preferred)
