Individuals can learn the art of playing a musical instrument not only in the classroom but also remotely. The main purpose of the paper is to identify the possibilities of an educational online piano course for Chinese students. In the work, it was determined which of the online applications are the most popular in the world for learning. The results showed that the most common are Udemy (25%), Google Class (22%), and Skillshare (17%), which are used not only for music learning. Based on the data obtained, the work developed an online course for piano training, which included three blocks – learning theoretical material with the help of the program goodEar Pro; developing technical playing skills with the help of Skillshare and Xiaoyezi AI Piano Tutor; improving the skills obtained by using The One Music Group. Survey data from 104 respondents determined that the Xiaoyezi AI Piano Tutor mobile app (29%) was more effective among the others because it focused on polyphony skills, which allows the combination of technical piano playing skills and thinking. With a digitally enabled learning program, students were able to achieve better results when working on a playing technique (5.3) and polyphony (5.1)
