I have been teaching piano professionally since 2014 and am currently teaching in the Denver area. I aim to provide a warm, supportive, and engaging learning environment with honest yet positive feedback to help my students become confident and self-motivated. Every student has a unique set of abilities and way of learning, which is something to be embraced. I believe that music is a form of self-expression, and I strive to help my students develop their own unique style and voice. By encouraging creativity and individuality, I hope to inspire my students to continue exploring and developing their musical abilities long after they leave my s

Gretta K. says, "So glad a friend told me about this company for our musical daughter! I couldn’t be happier with the ease of booking, communication, high quality teachers, and the fact that they come to your home for lessons is the most convenient thing ever! I can get so much more done having one less activity to shuttle around for. My daughter loves her teacher and I won’t use any other company for our music lesson needs. I’m even considering taking up guitar myself! Really appreciate the genius behind this quality and convenient company for hard working parents." Read more

Kyle K. says, "There are not enough positive things I can say about Collette. I started piano lessons with her midway through 2022 as an adult student - I had previously had three years of prior musical experience. In the past six months, I feel like my knowledge and passion towards piano and music has increased a hundred-fold. This is completely due to her support, guidance, and inspiring presence. Collette seamlessly adapts to help teach towards each individual’s learning style. She provides resources, even outside of lessons, to help understand challenging areas in musical compositions that you are working on. She can easily communicate regarding topics in music theory that I had previously struggled with, and has made it fun to learn about different musical eras, composers, and themes within pieces that you are working on. She is patient, kind, and interested in each of her students’ development. You can grow in learning the piano as quickly as you want to; if you put in the effort and work needed, you will readily have the necessary support and instruction from Collette. The passion she elicits towards her craft is palpable and moving. She is an extremely talented pianist. Collette has always been completely flexible with my schedule when providing times available for lessons, or rescheduling lessons if a conflict arises. She also hosts a quarterly gathering for all of her students to come together, play pieces we have been working on, and share what we have learned, or experienced with piano. This gathering is so much fun!!! It is amazing what you can learn, and the inspiration you can draw, from others on the same journey. Choosing Collette as my piano instructor has been one of the best decisions I have made all year and I cannot recommend her enough! I started out pursuing piano this year as a hobby I wanted to revisit and learn more about. Due to the support and instruction I have received, it has already turned into something I know will be a lifelong passion. Lessons with Collette have been truly priceless – they have changed my life. Don’t miss the opportunity to have her as your instructor if you are serious about learning the piano!!!! -Kyle K.

AJ has been teaching drums to our son for four years. His pricing and schedule flexibility are very reasonable. He implements a teaching plan customized to the student, and uses a combination of approaches to build solid skills (such as rudiments), while keeping things fun with jam sessions where he accompanies, and by helping the student master more challenging selections from the music they are into. Music is his life‘s passion. Lessons are in his own professional recording studio, where he works with professional musicians. And he plays in bands all over town, doing live shows on a regular basis. Highly recommended!

Erin V. says, "Learning the violin has been a life-long goal and one that I put off for close to 40 years. Madeleine asked very poignant & important questions as to my reasons why I wanted to learn the violin. That spoke volumes, letting me know she cares. That kind of caring is an essential characteristic in an instructor. As well, she teaches in the Suzuki tradition, which as a non-traditional student who hasn't read music for decades, is a great way to learn. Her instruction has been a perfect combination of support, challenge, and encouragement! I highly, highly recommend her!" 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?

My daughter (age 8) has been taking piano lessons at the DaVinci Center for 2 years. It's truly the best investment we've made for her. She loves piano and loves her teacher, Maria! The Creations Conert, local gigs and the Multiple Piano Festival are icing on the cake! Maria is an outstanding teacher, patient, kind, very very talented, organized, and knows how to connect with the kids. We are so lucky to have The DaVinci school in our community!!

She takes on a very multi-faceted approach to teaching music. She teaches our daughter how to hear and feel the music, and learn the notes. She makes it fun! And she’s been creative with how to establish routines for practicing most days. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, she really seems to enjoy what she does and care for our child. Thanks Collette!

I am delighted to recommend Nicole as an exceptional piano teacher. My daughter’s experience with her over the past four years has been transformative for her piano skills and confidence. Nicole has a nurturing teaching style that makes every lesson enjoyable and tailored to Alana’s individual needs. She takes the time to understand Alana’s strengths and areas for improvement that encourage her to explore new pieces and techniques. If you are looking for a dedicated and skilled piano teacher who fosters a positive learning environment, I wholeheartedly recommend Nicole. She has been instrumental in Alana’s musical journey.

My 13 year old daughter had the pleasure of studying drums under "Paul Hurd", and I can confidently say that his instruction has had a tremendous impact on her growth as a musician. His deep knowledge of rhythm, technique, and musicality is matched by a teaching style that is both engaging and highly effective. Each lesson is thoughtfully structured, with a balance of technical exercises, creative exploration, and practical application. "Paul Hurd" is patient, encouraging, and always attentive to her individual goals and progress of his student. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine advanced skills, he will meet you at your level and help you reach the next one. Beyond technical proficiency, he fosters a genuine appreciation for the instrument and the music itself. His passion is infectious and motivates her to practice and improve consistently. I’ve noticed significant improvements in her timing, control, and overall confidence behind the drums. I highly recommend "Paul Hurd" to anyone serious about learning the drums. His professionalism, talent, and dedication makes him an outstanding instructor.
