Everett D. says, "Hamid is the most engaging music teacher. My sons (and my wife and I) have been taking lessons from him for almost 10 years (since the boys were 4 and 6). We perceived music like learning a language: it helps develop their critical thinking and exercises their brain. The earlier they start, the better. Now our oldest is planning on taking AP Music Theory in high school. He had an easy time in guitar his freshman year. No doubt, this is all due to Hamid's teaching. Not only is he entertaining, but he also incorporates music theory when the kids are older. Our kids have had an easy time picking up different instruments, as well. Son in high school was first chair saxophone in middle school; younger son played percussion. We couldn't imagine how much our kids would hate music if they had an old boring piano teacher. We can't recommend Hamid enough!" Read more

Your Piano Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much are piano lessons?

Piano lessons cost $40 to $80 per hour, depending on the location, their experience level, and session length. A piano lesson package costs $180 to $350 for five 1-hour lessons. Children's piano lessons and online lessons often cost less than average.

Piano lessons are available for all ages in most cities in the country. Music instructors teach:

  • Music theory
  • Sight-reading
  • Improvisation
  • How to improve playing or technique

At what age should you start piano lessons?

The best age to start piano lessons is 5 to 9 years, though learning how to play the piano doesn't have an age limit. Playing the piano strengthens fine motor skills, increases flexibility, and improves your memory no matter how old you are.

Are piano lessons worth it?

Piano lessons are worth the money and effort invested over time. Playing an instrument can be beneficial for mental health, and cognitive strength. For smaller budgets, book just a few lessons to get the basics down and continue on your own.

How long are piano lessons?

Piano lessons for beginners or children are typically 30 to 45 minutes per session. Intermediate or advanced lessons are 45 to 60+ minutes per session. Most people have 1 to 2 lessons per week.

Can you learn to play piano online?
