RENOWNED PEERY PIANO METHOD GOES ONLINE
Peery Piano Online is a video-based piano instruction site for children offering individualized feedback to piano students from around the world.

Students learn piano online through personal video exchange lessons with Christie Peery-Skousen

Unlike many other video sites, PeeryPiano.com was created specifically for kids with its easy to use system and fun interactive approach. When children learn an instrument, they NEED very personal attention and they NEED to fix mistakes early in order to improve.

With the innovative video technology and philosophy at use here at PeeryPiano.com piano students can "pause and repeat" to learn their lessons correctly. Just as importantly, Christie responds to student's video submissions to her. Each student video is reviewed by Christie and she posts a response (either video or text) that stays attached to the student video on the site.

Everyone learns with this approach, but each student can get personalized, one on one instruction from a Peadbody Conservatory Graduate and Master Teacher if they want.



A little more about the Peery Method of Piano.
The Peery Piano Method is presented in a very extensive video curriculum, taught by the world-renown master piano teacher Christie Peery Skouson. The Peery Piano Online approach emphasizes direct person-to-person feedback to the student. This differs from DVD-based instructional approaches and static instructional websites that offer only one-way instruction with no opportunity for students to receive teacher feedback. The Peery Piano Online approach has a feature that enables students to get their playing frequently evaluated by a real person, a real master teacher. This approach also differs from automated digital keyboard methods as well, in that Christie provides a holistic evaluation of the student (posture, position, musicianship). Computer programs only check whether the right notes were pressed.


This innovative interactive approach provides you and piano students all over the world personalized instruction and level-appropriate learning materials. Most importantly: You receive FEEDBACK from a virtuoso master piano teacher. This instruction is available to students at all levels, no matter where you are in the world. Does this seem impossible? It isn't! Here's how she does it:

The Proven Peery Piano Method Presented Online For The First Time
For this website exclusively, Christie has prepared, recorded, and published the most extensive set of video piano lessons in history. These lessons teach the famous and proven Peery Piano Method. This method encompasses all levels of piano study. The video lessons are the core curriculum of Peery Piano Online, and are waiting for you right now on the site. (Be sure to check out the sample lessons to see what they are like.) There are literally hundreds of lessons, organized into a systematic, progressive method: the Peery Method. From beginning piano to advanced conservatory-level, all the lessons are right at your fingertips.

Here's the "magic": At various points in the video curriculum, Christie asks you to video record yourself playing a specific exercise and send her the video so that she can check on your progress. Maybe you have never recorded a video before in your life? Don't worry! We will teach you how to do it using a simple webcam (or whatever video camera you may have); nothing expensive is required at all. And submitting a video is very easy. Using ArtistWorks's simple Video Management System, you will "upload" (send) your video to Christie to review.

Christie Evaluates Your Playing
What happens next? Yes it is true! Christie will watch the video you sent. That's how she knows how you are doing. Because she is a master teacher, she will use her deep knowledge of piano instruction to give you a detailed response that will enable you to improve your piano playing. There will be no chance for bad habits to develop! There will be no more "blind alleys"! In some cases, the feedback will be in the form of a written critique. But in many cases, a video will be created especially for you. She will be sure that you know what to do next, and what you should play on your next video. Christie becomes your teacher, and can watch you progress through your video submissions. She can take you (or your child) all the way from beginner level to Carnegie Hall performance level, if you have the drive and ability of course! The point is, you'll never need another teacher!

Enrollment May Be Limited
In order to insure that Christie has the adequate time and staffing to respond to all students, enrollment may be limited at times for quality purposes.

Feedback Center
Have you ever wondered what other students are being told by their teacher? It turns out that watching other student video submissions coupled with the responses they received is a great way to deepen your own knowledge. That's the idea behind the Feedback Center. As Christie responds to student videos, they are all placed in the Feedback Center. We call these pairings (the student videos paired with responses) "Master Classes". You can watch all of the other student submissions, and see the responses to them as well. In that way, everyone learns from each other.

Track Your Progress
Christie has collaborated with ArtistWorks to create Peery Piano Online Practice Sheets. Christie outlines on an online practice sheet, for each lesson, specific tasks to practice. Peery Piano Online Practice Sheets help you stay focused on your goals. Also, the online Practice Clock provides you an easy way to keep track of you total hours and minutes. You go at your own pace, and learn on your own pace.

The Peery Piano Community
This really is a community! You can fill out your own "STUDENT PAGE" where and post videos of your own performances, or whatever you would like. And you can enjoy and explore the Student Pages the other students have created. Some students find that they like to get feedback from their peers before they submit a video to the teacher and this is the perfect place to do it. You can post photos on your Student Page and your fellow students can leave you comments as well. Enjoy this part of a great piano community and make new friends too.

There are also Forums, a great resource where students and parents can help each other and share information on all aspects of music and piano. Forums are also a great place to discuss the challenges of parenting musical children.

"HOME": The Center of the Peery Piano Universe
"Home" serves as the hub of the site for students and parents to find out what's "going on" and to interact with each other. Everyone lands at this page when they log onto the site. The latest news updates and "Shouts" (a kind of community bulletin board) are here. If you have submitted a video and are waiting for a response from Christie, you'll be notified right here on the "Home" page as soon as it is posted. For the benefit of advanced students, Christie keeps the Peery Community apprised of competition information.

Who's Online? Interact With Other Peery Piano Students
On the right side of the "Home" page (and all pages while you are logged on) you will see a list of everyone who is online right now ("Who's Online"). You can start an Instant Message-style chat with anyone else that is online right now (parents are asked to supervise their children carefully, important on any site that has social networking features). It's a great way to meet other piano enthusiasts. You also can create a Buddy List of your favorite friends.

Affordable Pricing
Peery Piano Online is significantly less expensive then taking lessons in-person from a private teacher. The Peery Piano Online approach is priced at a reasonable $60 per 3-month period (automatic renewal). This entitles you to the entire Peery Piano Online Method, all the video lessons and resources, and also entitles you to receive feedback from the master piano teacher Christie Peery. (As a quick price comparison, people studying the Peery Piano Method in-person pay a minimum of $130 per month from a Christie Peery-certified teacher, or $400 per month or more to study in-person directly with Christie in her California studio.)
Another great thing about this approach is that if you move, you don't have to look for a new teacher; Christie is available to you any place you can sign on to the Internet. No more driving to lessons!

Peery Piano Online makes use of the latest Internet video technology. You get the best online piano lessons in the world, and a learning experience comparable to a music conservatory. The site is geared toward children of all ages. Having the video lessons available means you can watch the lessons any time you want, as many times as you want. Stop and start as often as you need to: you'll learn more that way!

Peery Piano Online is a global community of parents and their children who all share a passion for learning piano: It's the piano place to be! Peery Piano Online.
