PTNA Starts E-learning Service!
PTNA starts e-learning service to encourage larger number of piano teachers and students to do in-depth study at home, by providing live videos of major PTNA seminars and lectures.
The first program is 'Special Lecture on the Repertoires of 35th PTNA Piano Competition' which was held on March 1st-2nd (VTR). The 2nd one, 'PTNA Teachers' Seminar vol.43' followed.
This e-learning service only requires the secure internet connection and email address. PTNA membership is not prerequisite. Once registered, one can purchase any programs on the list. Fees are payable by credit cards, and discount prices are available for PTNA members and PTNA student members. Each program can be viewed repeatedly, and the access will automatically be denied after 30days.
It is advised to submit a report after learning each program, which is equivalent to one teacher's point. Please enjoy studying online!
