Online Feedback

Pianodao’s Online Feedback service offers piano players a fresh approach to receiving expert guidance online.

Accessing high-quality, in-depth advice about your playing has never been this easy. With this unique and flexible service, you can confidently share a private video of your playing from anywhere in the world, and receive constructive feedback and detailed guidance to elevate your performance.

You can choose between these three options:

• Standard: a video of a single piece (any length): £20.00
• Premium: two or more pieces, up to 15 minutes total: £35.00
• Recital: a programme lasting up to 30 minutes: £50.00

You can play the same piece or passage more than once, and ask about interpretation. You can talk to the camera directly, and ask any questions you have within the recording, or on your Application Form below.

How you will benefit

The Online Feedback service is suitable for:

• Players from Elementary to Diploma level
• Any player looking for a fresh perspective
• Those preparing for a concert, festival, exam or audition
• Adult piano players seeking professional feedback
• Self-directed learners wanting ad-hoc support online
• Those wanting regular input and support with their practice
• Teachers keen for feedback on a specific piano piece

Whether you want regular advice, occasional support, or a one-time insight, the service offers all of the advantages touted for online tuition, but in a more flexible and musically satisfying format:

• The schedule is completely up to you
• There’s no need to coordinate a live session
• Record in comfort, without anxiety, playing your own piano
• Recording offers better quality audio than live streaming
• Receive detailed written feedback based on repeated listening
• No need to travel, saving both time and fuel
• No need for software subscriptions, platform or agency fees
• No ongoing commitment or contract

A simple recording made using your smartphone or tablet will allow your piano playing to shine more than is possible in an online lesson, unspoilt by the audio limitations of a Zoom call, or problems with your WiFi.

“Your critique has actually given me a huge boost in my self-worth as a pianist. I like how specific the suggestions are and therefore easy to follow and apply.”

With no ongoing contract or costs, the Online Feedback service provides a fair and fundamentally more musical online learning alternative. You can use the service whenever, and however you like, try it as a one-off, or come back at regular intervals within your own learning cycle.

The Feedback Sheet

Andrew Eales commits considerable time and care to assessing each video and providing feedback. The printable Feedback Sheet is provided via email, so that you can save or print it out, and use Andrew’s insights to inform your practice and inspire lasting progress.

He writes in plain English, and only uses theory terms (etc) that are appropriate to the player’s grade and age. Feedback typically includes:

• a constructive overview of your playing and performance
• detailed suggestions to improve your playing
• performance tips and suggestions for interpretation
• note or timing corrections (with bar numbers) if needed
• practice ideas for tricky passages
• recommendations for further musical study

How long will I wait?

Andrew’s written feedback is clear, detailed, and supportively written to guide progress and help you refine your interpretation and performance. It will be sent to you via email within a few days.

You will usually receive your Feedback Sheet via email in under a week, but all feedback is written exclusively by Andrew Eales, so depends on his time.

If you would like further information or have any other questions about the service, please Contact Andrew.
