If you’re reading this, chances are you’re already interested in learning how to play the piano or looking to refine your piano playing skills, so you know that when searching for piano lessons the options we’re presented with online are one-size-fits-all courses and learning apps that often make unrealistic promises, and promote “easy” and “quick” learning strategies compatible with our fast-paced lifestyles. 
This kind of approach to learning an instrument like the piano, not to mention the language of music, isn’t loyal to the nature and purpose of playing music, as it ignores the overall role of a music education. 
Music is often presented to us as a product for consumption, boxed into genres and confined to certain lifestyles, social constructs, and products to be consumed along with it. Over time, merchandising the refined art form that music is has affected music education, causing many institutions and teachers to have to adapt to our contemporary tempo and adopt a more superficial vision of an otherwise exceptionally profound art form and human practice.
