Every time 8-year-old piano student Zhang Yiting starts to play, the online music education app gets richer.

These days, although Zhang practices alone in her room in Qingdao, Shandong province, she has found a good online music teaching app called Xiongmao Peilian, which translates as “panda tutoring”.

Thanks to the app, there is always a teacher on hand to offer Zhang professional advice. “As a parent with no knowledge of music, it has been a huge relief, as I don’t have to drive her 11 kilometers away to practice as I used to,” said her mother.

Online music teaching becomes popular lately in the country’s online education industry. The app is making an effort to take in students who are learning musical instruments, as well as their parents, who often spend much time and energy being with their children practicing. Having one-on-one piano lessons with teachers online is now possible. They can guide the students on finger movement, hand positioned and playing skills.

“Unlike after-school training, which gives lessons mainly on English and math, the piano education market is still developing,” Ye Bin, leader and CEO of The ONE Music Group, Xiongmao Peilian’s parent company said, adding that there is huge space for growth as the business has not yet become fully developed.

However, it remains to be seen whether the business model is suitable, depending on whether users will buy more lessons.

“On the other hand, such companies should also provide their teachers with tools(工具) and technologies to improve online classes,” Ye noted.
