Video for the conversation
One-to-one camera and microphone, with controls for your lesson.
One teacher. One student. A shared keyboard.
Piano lessons,
closer together.
See each other, hear each other, and share the notes you play. PianoNear brings video and MIDI into the same browser-based lesson.
PianoNear is in Beta. The service is still being improved, so features and reliability may change.
MIDI for the music
See played notes on a shared keyboard. Use a MIDI instrument, the on-screen keyboard, or optional software piano playback.
A link for your student
Start a lesson, copy the invite and send it to your student. No account, payment or download required for students.
Made for teaching, not remote jamming.
Network delay varies. PianoNear is designed for taking turns, demonstrating and practising — not latency-free simultaneous performance.
