    Are there effective ways for me to learn proper technique on my own without a teacher before I start lessons with a teacher? Is this even a good idea in the long run?

    Or would my time be better spent searching for a good teacher and planning lessons for when quarantine is over?

    Hello Yem,
    There are nowadays plenty of good tutorials on the social networks, including YouTube. You might begin with any of those. And yes, there are examples of very good self-taught pianists. However, the risk starting alone, with nobody to provide you with a feedback, is to take some bad habits you would have hard time to loose later. Finally, a good teacher is certainly better than any YouTube channel to learn how to play piano. But a bad teacher can also push you in a one-way where you can be trapped for ever or so... Therefore, my advice would be: try to find a good piano teacher, having a good reputation. If you don't succeed or if you have to wait, you may start with Internet !

    I would like to suggest trying out the online application La Touche Musicale for novice practitioners. It’s one of the most interesting websites I have found for practicing online piano courses from start to finish. La Touche Musicale is the perfect place for piano lessons and everyday practice. Here you will find all the necessary tools to improve your skills.

    I recommend starting with the "Basic" Plan, where you can choose between 250 compositions for free and decide if you want this distance learning method.

    With a La Touche Musicale, you will enjoy online video lessons for experienced pianists. You can also hear real instructors give you step-by-step tips on learning the piano technique. This app offers different songs that are suitable for different levels of learners: Beginners, Intermediate, or Advanced students may enjoy this unique technique and get better and better with each practical lesson.
