Get online music lessons over video
HelpingHands connects you with a helper for a live 10, 20, or 30-minute video call to work on your instrument. Playing on camera is ideal for music — a helper hears you play, watches your hands or listens to your voice, and gives you feedback and the next step in real time, whether it's guitar, piano, singing or theory.
When online music lessons are useful
A focused lesson on guitar, piano or singing, getting unstuck on a tricky passage you keep fumbling, a chord change or scale that won't sit under your fingers, feedback on your technique or posture, or a music-theory question you never got answered. Short, regular video sessions are perfect for keeping momentum between longer practice.
What you can ask during a video call
"Can you show me how to play this part slowly?" "Why does this chord change trip me up?" "Am I holding my hands right?" "Can you listen and tell me what to fix?" "Can you explain this bit of theory?" A helper adapts to your level and your instrument and gives you something concrete to practise.
What HelpingHands does and does not do
It does: give you a live lesson, unblock a specific passage, correct technique in the moment, and answer theory questions. It does not: send a teacher to your home, tune or repair your instrument, or replace a full conservatory course or graded exam programme — though it's a great way to prepare between lessons.
How pricing works
You book by session length — 10, 20, or 30 minutes — and see the price before you confirm. A focused 30-minute session is enough to work through one piece or technique properly. No call-out fee, because nobody travels.
How to book a helper
