Without dragging this out, how would one go about finding a private teacher online? You know, just like in real life but communicating by messengers, email, etc. I've thought of pdf files as worksheets as well. That kind of thing. The important part though is that I know this is a piano forum, but I was thinking more along the lines of music in general regardless if you play piano or not. Studying composition, counterpoint, theory, etc.

Does anyone know who I may contact about something like that?

Do you mean that you want to use the internet to find a teacher, OR that you want to find a teacher who will teach online? Your question wasn't quite clear.

A teacher who will teach online. I've got to use the net to find the teacher who will.... teach me on the net, so now I'm going in circles
