Debra J. says, "I decided to learn to play the piano for my senior project and luckily I discovered Ms. Kathy from some friends at school. From the moment I met her she made me feel welcomed and like I could really do this. Immediately when I stepped into her at home studio I could tell she loved music and from just a short talk I learned about the many years of experience she had. Originally it was planned for us to do our piano lessons in person starting this summer, but with the outbreak of coronavirus our plans changed. Ms. Kathy decided to do online zoom lessons with us and I am so glad she did. Even though our summer hours can no longer count towards our senior project it still helped us so much to get better acclimated to the piano. This summer I have learned so much about the piano and music in general. I have learned some music theory, the keys on the piano, how to better read music, about key and time signatures, chords, how to make my own chord progressions, and so much more. In just two months Ms. Kathy has worked diligently with us each week to help us become better pianist. Ms. Kathy brings some sort of structure into our classes as well as much flexibility. At times I felt as if she was moving too quickly for me, but once I told her she was responsive to accommodate me. She is not just a teacher that teaches. She is a teacher that learns from her students and uses that to better herself. Her instructive attitude keeps us on track and she is also very understanding. Personally I had a situation in which I had to be out of my home for almost 2 weeks and Ms. Kathy reassured me that it was okay. She worked with me to continue to practice even without my piano. We went over music theory and she directed me to practice my fingering techniques, to complete theory activities, and to listen to piano instrumentals to work on internalizing the beat. She once said to us that she wants us to not just be listeners to music but to be participants. I believe that we have already started to become active listeners, analyzing the music that we hear. Ms. Kathy has several different students with differing skill levels but she ensures your learning experience is unique to you. If she notices that you need help on a specific area she will try her best to help you improve. With all the unexpected changes that have occurred I believe Ms. Kathy has done a great job handing it and has not allowed these situations to hold her or her students down." Read more

Columbus Piano Instruction

Columbus Piano Instruction

Serves Columbus, GA & Online
Music has been a passion of mine for most of my life. Besides a teaching degree, my college studies included an unofficial music minor. Life application of my music has been through my offering of praise as a pianist and accompanist in the local church. While music has been my passion, my desire is for God to receive all the glory (Psalm 71:6c, “...my praise shall be continually of thee.” 1 Corinthians 10:31c, “...whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”). I have enjoyed private piano instruction as well as classroom teaching for more than thirty years, and my delight is in watching the progress in the lives of my students, both y...

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?

I’ve always had a variety of music teachers while growing up because they either moved or I was assigned a new one. I appreciate that there is some stability in my learning now because I am able to emotionally connect with my teacher and understand their style.

Jonny Hale loves Jesus! He has an amazing way of teaching his students, getting them excited about learning new music, and inspiring them to want to learn more. They practice eagerly so they can "show Jonny" every week. He teaches them how to play successfully and they feel so accomplished! Best money we've ever spent on lessons!
