The right teacher for you
By adding Forte to your music learning tools, you'll have a teacher to help you reach your goals. We'll match you with a professional teacher based on your skills, aspirations, genre interests, and more.
Smooth lesson experience
Forte is a platform that's built for learning and playing music, not for business meetings. With the highest audio resolution available and features built specifically for learning music, you have everything you need at your fingertips to have great piano lessons.
How it works
We'll get to know you
Answer a 6-question survey that will cover your skill level, goals, genre preferences, and demographics. We ask questions about what you want from your lesson experience to intentionally connect you with teachers who align with your skill level, your musical goals and aspirations, and your budget. This helps us match you with teachers that are right for you.
Explore your teacher matches
We know that it’s overwhelming to scroll through hundreds of qualified teachers who may or may not meet your specific needs as a student, so Forte eliminates that barrier. Read about your highly curated teacher matches, and then schedule a Trial Lesson with as many teachers as you’d like before deciding which is the perfect fit for you for ongoing lessons.
Start taking live music lessons
Once you’ve found the teacher who feels like a perfect match, book lessons with them on your schedule, and then meet them on Forte. With an excellent Forte teacher on the other side of your screen and the ability to use Skoove's app in-lesson, you’ll have a customized learning experience in each and every online lesson.
Practice with Skoove
With the education from your new teacher, you also have the support of Skoove! Use Skoove during lessons, in between lessons to practice your skills, and enhance your musical journey with Forte and Skoove!

My teacher is amazing! After my lessons, I look forward to practicing what we discuss and my playing has improved tremendously since starting with her a year ago. It is easy to use and audio/visual quality is excellent. I like having my schedule of lessons posted and being able to record specific parts of my lesson.
– Donna E., Forte Student
[I like the] convenience of scheduling lessons and [the] very knowledgeable teachers. Forte provides notes and recordings so I can review the lessons which reinforces my understanding of assignments. [My teacher] is very detailed as he goes through scales, theory, and assigned music. The platform meets every aspect that is required for an excellent learning experience.
