Live Online Piano and Voice Lessons for Kids Anywhere in Alaska
The short answer: Yes, your child can take piano or voice lessons online from anywhere in Alaska. Greenhouse Music offers live one-on-one lessons and small group classes by video call with Soldotna teacher Delana Green, plus pre-recorded online courses your child can follow on your family's schedule. All you need is a device with an internet connection, and a keyboard or piano for piano lessons.
Why online lessons work for Alaska families
Alaska is huge, and many families live a long way from the nearest music teacher. Winter roads and weather can make a weekly drive hard even when a teacher is close. Online lessons take the drive out of it.
Live lessons give your child a real teacher in real time, whether you live in Anchorage, the Mat-Su Valley, Fairbanks, Juneau, Homer, Kodiak, or a community off the road system. And if a live schedule does not fit your family, the self-paced courses let your child learn whenever it works for you.

Who it is for

What you need
- A phone, tablet or computer with an internet connection for live lessons.
- For piano: a keyboard or piano. A keyboard is enough to begin, and a weighted or 88-key keyboard is best as your child advances. Not sure what to buy? See our budget friendly beginner keyboards.
- For voice: nothing else. Your child just needs a quiet spot to sing.
