Welcome to Kye Harris Music Academy, where the joy of music meets the art of teaching. My name is Kye, and I am passionate about sharing the love of music with my students. My journey in music began at the age of four, when my grandmother introduced me to the world of classical piano. Since then, music has been a central part of my life. Growing up in the vibrant church communities throughout Chicago, I developed my skills on piano, bass, guitar, drums, and vocals. This foundation led me to form a pop-rock band with my brothers, a venture that culminated in a major record deal with Sony Epic Records. Over the years, I've had the privilege of

How much do classical piano lessons cost?

Classical piano lessons cost $40 to $80 hourly on average. Piano lesson packages cost $150 to $360 per month for weekly private lessons in-home or at a studio. Musicians recommend in-person lessons for classical piano playing so that the teacher can correct your hand positions better.

Classical piano lessons teach you the traditional playing style of music written by composers like Mozart and Beethoven. You'll also learn important techniques and how to read sheet music of classical arrangements.

How long must you take piano lessons to play classical?

You must take piano lessons for 1 to 2 years with consistent practice to play simple classical pieces. Some people can make faster progress if they practice more often or have prior musical experience.

Classical piano lessons are 30 to 60 minutes long on average. The amount of time varies according to the teacher's style and the abilities of the student.

How do I find the best classical piano lessons near me?

Reviews for Downey classical piano lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Downey area.
Kitmin C.
I have been Mark's student since I was around sixth grade until just now. I recently just got my Senior Medallion for Certificate of Merit for piano after finishing level 8. Under his teaching, I've also obtained honorable mention trophies for Romantic Festival and Baroque Festival, a winner trophy for Latin Festival, as well as the 15 point and 30 point trophy at Junior Festival. Even with the mistakes I make from lack of practice, he's still reasonably patient with me and helps me to make sure I play the best I can. I have very much enjoyed being his student the past 7 years.

I'm a 74 year old retired man. I have always loved acting but have had some minor challenges due to bad eye sight and I'm not that computer savvy. Jim helped me learn how to use an I-pad my grand daughter gave me to help me expand fonts to read scripts. Though I'm only doing this so far for a hobby, I can see huge improvement in my ability to memorize scripts and act convincingly. Jim encouraged me to audition for the community senior center's drama club. I couldn't believe it I got right in and enjoying meeting new people (I'm widowed). Jim has been a Godsend. I'm finding new joy and I'm enjoying seeing local theatre productions. I appreciate his kind, patient, and professional matter. Acting lessons with Jim is what got me through the horrible isolation during Covid quarantine. He is also incredibly knowledgable on health such as veganism, breathing/meditation and is encouraging me to get into a healthier lifestyle. My voice/sinuses improved after giving up dairy. I used to get chronic sinusitis. So I feel acting has been beneficial to my overall health. Though Jim is pricier than other teachers in the area... I believe you pay for what you get. The extra money I pay is well worth it. The two other acting coaches I used before Jim...were mediocre and treated me like an invalid. Jim continues to inspire me to be the best I can be in all areas of my life. I consider him a good friend and he is one of the best educators out there.

Todd's extensive knowledge and genuine passion for music make him an outstanding teacher! I really appreciate his ability to make piano lessons both enjoyable and effective. My son always came home from lessons excited to show me what he’d learned that day- which is really saying something! Todd's kind nature and patience creates a warm, welcoming learning environment that puts both kids (and parents!) at ease. If you're searching for a piano teacher who can inspire and educate your child, while keeping things fun and engaging, Todd is the perfect choice!
