Welcome to Take Root Piano! I have been at the piano for over 17 years and have taught for 4 years. I love helping students discover how fun and rewarding music can be. Piano has become a huge light in my life, and I’ve found that learning and practicing a skill like this can spill over and make every part of life better. Taking Root is all about building a strong foundation. Just like a tree, music grows best when it has deep, steady roots — and that’s exactly what I want for my students: skills and confidence that last a lifetime. In lessons, I put a big emphasis on sight-reading and accompanying (whether for yourself or others). These sk

He's repaired and/or upgraded a few of my guitars, which I'm VERY happy with, given me private lessons, invaluable to be sure, and has spent a lot of time collectively just hanging out after lessons when time allows.

I have been singing for well over 30 years with a background in gospel music. I also have professional experience with a B.A. in music, and Masters in Music Education. My primary instrument is voice. I enjoy helping people understand how their voice works, and how to sing using the diaphragm to support breath, and placement of tone. I can work with singers at the beginning stage or those who have more experience. I’d be happy to help you.

Your Music Lessons questions, answered

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

How much do music lessons cost?

Music lessons cost $40 to $90 per hour. Most teachers offer weekly lessons in order to provide regular feedback, keep students motivated, and provide enough opportunities to learn new techniques and pieces of music. More frequent lessons do not provide enough time to practice and master skills between lessons.

To save money on music lessons consider group lessons, which are often cheaper than private lessons and allow you to learn from other students. Another option is to take online lessons which tend to be more affordable than in-person lessons and can be a great way to learn from a qualified teacher that isn't local. Finally, look for scholarships or grants to help pay for music lessons.

At what age can you start music lessons?

The best age to start music lessons depends on the individual and their interests. Most experts agree that children can start learning music as early as 3 or 4 years old when they can communicate and follow instructions. There is no age that is too late to take music lessons – even seniors can benefit from learning or improving their musical skills.

Studies have shown that children who are exposed to music at an early age have better language skills, memory, and problem-solving skills. Music lessons help improve fine motor skills like hand-eye coordination and finger dexterity which are important for other activities like writing and drawing. Learning to play an instrument can also build a child's self-confidence and help to develop a child's creativity.

How long does it take to learn an instrument?

The amount of time it takes to learn an instrument depends on the instrument, the student's age, and the amount of time they practice. In general, it takes several months to a year to learn the basics of most instruments including how to read music and play basic scales and chords. With regular practice, students can expect to play simple songs within a few months.

Piano, guitar, and percussion instruments are some of the easier instruments to learn. Strings and horn instruments take a bit longer to learn. Becoming proficient at any instrument takes several years of lessons and regular practice.

Do I need an instrument at home to take music lessons?

No, you do not need an instrument at home to take music lessons, but it does make it easier to practice and improve your skills. Without an instrument at home, you will need to find an instrument to practice between lessons if you hope to improve.

Before investing in any musical instrument, you will want to talk with the music teacher to find the instrument that is right for you. Guitars are a popular instrument for beginners since they are relatively inexpensive to buy. The flute is another simple instrument to learn and is a good choice for students who want to learn to play an instrument quickly. Pianos are a more costly instrument but are a popular choice for families since everyone can enjoy playing the same instrument.

How do online music lessons work?

Online music lessons are similar to in-person lessons, only the teacher and student are not in the same physical location. Using video conferencing platforms such as Skype or Zoom, the teacher and students can communicate with each other from the privacy of their homes.

In order to take advantage of the affordable online lessons, you need a computer and internet connection with good audio and video quality to avoid frustration. The teacher and student join the video call and the lesson proceeds in the same way they would for an in-person lesson. Online music lessons require more focus and patience and are not suggested for very young students.

What questions should I ask a music teacher?

Here are some important questions you should ask a music teacher before you start taking lessons:

  • What is your teaching style?
  • What is your experience teaching music?
  • What are your rates?
  • How long are your lessons?
  • What is your availability?
  • What are your expectations for students?
  • Can you provide references from your current and past students?

How do I choose a music teacher?

Choosing a qualified music teacher is important for those wanting to learn or develop their musical skills. Find a teacher that fits your schedule, budget, and learning style by following these recommendations:

  • Look for a teacher with a degree in music or years of experience teaching your preferred instrument.
  • Make sure the teacher with a teaching style that suits you. For example, if you learn better with a more formal teacher that focuses on technique, don't choose a teacher that is more relaxed and focuses on creative, free-style playing.
  • Find a teacher that is affordable for your budget and has availability for lessons that fit your schedule.
  • Confirm that the teacher will help you reach your goals whether it is to learn a new instrument, read music, learn music theory, or just have fun.How do I choose a music teacher?

Aaron has helped me a lot. Especially improving my left hand capabilities. He is familiar with many different styles of music. He is also very good at figuring out how to play pieces that were not written for accordion.

We have loved our experience with MS Sue! My son has been taking piano lessons about one year so far. Teacher Ms Sue is talented, experienced and effective piano teacher. I can see my son's progress every week. It is our appreciation to write something about Ms. Sue’s great teaching. We'd highly recommend Ms. Sue to any families wanting to start their kids music exposure.

Kenneth is an amazing guitarist and knowledgeable instructor. I not only consider him to be a fantastic instructor, but also a great friend. He truly puts his heart into teaching each person at their own pace and abilities. If you want to really learn the guitar, talk to Kenneth. You will not be sorry!

Jonathan is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the guitar. He takes his time explaining and breaking concepts down and has always worked with me to meet my specific needs. I have tried lessons with other people before, and by far Jonathan has been the best experience I have ever had with a guitar instructor. I have now been taking lessons for a year and a half and am grateful for every single moment.

Don Howe has been the low brass coach at Northgate HS for 12 years. Every section and individual I send him, consistently improves! He is equally adept at working with advanced players, and at developing the less experienced. He is an insightful teacher, and an outstanding musician.
