As a result of the study, it was determined that online piano education is a technology-supported education and that during this education process, not every student has an instrument at home, problems in material transfer, electricity and infrastructure problems, and problems with energy transfer between teacher and student have negatively affected the motivation of students and teachers. Due to these problems, it was determined that both students and teachers preferred face-to-face education.
