Online Music Courses

Home > Online Music Courses

At Punjabi Music King, we offer two formats for our online music courses: live-stream interactive lessons over video conferencing platforms like Zoom and Skype, and asynchronous or recorded video lessons. Of course, students are always welcome to join one of our branches to pursue traditional in-person lessons as well.

While online lessons may initially seem like a compromise, the effectiveness and benefits of learning online become clear as you delve deeper into the experience.

Over the years, many students have studied with our faculty online due to distance constraints. We’ve had students from various parts of India and even from overseas, including Korea, Germany, France, the UK, and Canada. Online lessons are a fantastic way to access senior faculty members who might not be available locally. Some of our students used to travel hundreds of kilometers to the academy each week, but after trying online lessons, they stopped traveling and fully transitioned to the online format.

Online learning requires a good setup both on part of the faculty and the student. Basic requirements include a good reliable internet connection, a device (computer, laptop, tablet or a smartphone), a recommended quality instrument and a well lit space. The faculty at Bridge Music Academy is fully equipped, often with high-end audio equipment, to conduct these online music courses. Students are recommended to discuss any special requirements with the faculty during the demo session to make the best out of these lessons.

Our pre-recorded lessons too have a unique value proposition. These lessons are professionally recorded to cover aspects of musicianship that do not involve technique development. These are ideal for anyone who wishes to further his/her skills at music theory, ear-training, composition, harmonic analysis of a particular piece(s) of music, interpretation, etc. These courses are progressively structured to facilitate a smooth learning experience for the learners. Some of these online music courses are specifically designed for intended ages. Our powerful learning management system will challenge you with regular quiz and some courses also include interaction with the course director and/or an international music exam.

Copy of sheet music (if needed) with student and teacher. This may be in hard or soft copy.
Good instrument of recommended quality at home
Good electronic device, such as a tablet, computer (preferred) or a smart phone, setup where typically your teacher sits in your physical lesson. This ensures your teacher gets a view he would typically get in a class.

Minor hurdles

Online platforms have a time lag that doesn’t allow two musicians to play along in real-time. This is not something typically done in a class as well, but this does slightly handicap the teaching pedagogy of the faculty.
Audio quality is compromised. Most platforms compress the audio to make it stream, which affect the audio quality. However, quality is mostly good enough for faculty to make a judgement on what is presented to him/her.
