As a pianist with a master’s degree in piano, I truly understand the needs of graduate students, undergraduates, and professors when it comes to teaching music online. That’s why 1on1 Piano changes the paradigm for university online piano lessons — I’ve been there! After years of hard work and dedication, I’m excited to present 1on1 Piano to universities because I believe that it will benefit universities, professors, students, and communities alike. If you haven’t heard about what 1on1 Piano does, it creates a direct piano-to-piano connection so that teachers and students experience piano lessons as if they were in the same room.

The piano-to-piano technology offered by 1on1 Piano is real-time and 2-way, and (despite the name) it supports groups as large as 50 persons, so it can readily facilitate an online masterclass collaboration between schools and artist pedagogues, as well as virtual recitals, studio classes, and university online piano lessons. When pianos are connected in 1on1 Piano, the key and pedal movements that make the sound are recorded on the sending piano and reproduced meticulously on the other side, so that there is no loss of sound quality in university online piano lessons through 1on1 Piano as there is with audio-based apps. 

1on1 Piano is highly compatible. It will run on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Chromebook, so you do not have to worry about whether your student can connect using this technology. Its piano-to-piano technology is compatible with all major brands of digital pianos, as well as hybrid pianos such as Yamaha Disklavier, and Steinway Spirio R. 

For schools that have invested in hybrid systems, 1on1 Piano unlocks their potential so that they move from novel performance recording devices to essential online lesson tools. And because 1on1 Piano works on just about any OS, device, and piano combination, it is an ideal choice for university online piano lessons. 

1on1 Piano is highly intuitive. There is no complex software like OBS necessary, and because users are connecting to the piano, you do not need extra microphones and an audio mixer to experience high quality audio. All that is needed is a cable that is usually under $20, and 1on1 Piano has an assistant that will tell you exactly what cable to get and where to buy it, so you won’t need to involve IT for setup. 

It also has a built in video switcher that can use web cams or other devices like phones and tablets as additional cameras, helping artist teachers clearly show all necessary technical profiles. For institutions that want setup, 1on1 Piano is a small, pianist-owned company that has both technical and musical understand, so your online lessons will be world class.

1on1 Piano’s piano-to-piano technology is different from anything you have seen before.

• • Latency is so low that when internet connections are good, users can play duets together on digital pianos (there is a built-in latency in hybrid acoustic pianos that prohibits duets, but a lesson experience of playing and imitation on a Spirio R is very natural, with minimal delays). 

• • Rooms can hold up to 100 users, all connected by MIDI, so everyone can hear the piano playing clearly. 

• • 1on1 Piano adds piano-to-piano to its own video call, so you only need to run one app (1on1 piano) for your video, audio, and MIDI (also called piano-to-piano). The 

1on1 Piano isn’t limited to piano-to-piano; its acoustic performance is excellent. It avoids filters by default, allowing overtones to shine through clearly. With a high bitrate and adjustable gain, dynamics and timber are beautifully preserved, conveying the artistry necessary for university online piano lessons. 

1on1 Piano offers a free student-to-teacher match program where piano major students can earn income from the comfort of their apartments. With 1on1 Piano, all you need is a digital piano, a phone, and a tablet to enjoy excellent lesson sound and pro camera views. In college towns with a high student-to-teacher ratio, this program provides students with an opportunity to earn good money while building their future careers.

I truly believe that 1on1 Piano is a great tool that solves many issues.
