Agree. I can't imagine Bashkirov, Rados or Jasinski with a webcam and an earpiece telling a student how to play a Chopin ballade.

I can imagine Hélène Grimaud on a webcam, but not doing piano lessons.

I have tried RocketPiano which was okay. I also tried Learn and Master Piano which I liked better. You can't substitute real hands on instruction though, but you can find some interactive lessons on intervals, scales, and chords at my site here: https://www.playmypiano.com
