Hello. I love music a lot! I wish to share my love for music with others, and hopefully teach people my secrets so they can become great artists! I studied with Dr. Yulia Lipmanovich, a pupil of Rosina Lhevinne. She also studied with famous pianist Tatiana Nikolayeva (Shostakovich dedicated his Preludes and Fugues to her!). I am honored to be a part of this lineage, and hope to spread her knowledge to a new generation of piano students. I am mostly focused on teaching classical, and I believe it is essential as a foundation for any musical style, but, if you are interested in Pop Music, Jazz, Music from Cinema/Games, etc. I can find a way

Your Piano Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

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?

How do I select a piano teacher?

  • Read reviews on Lessons and Google if possible.
  • Ask for references from current or recent students.
  • Make sure they are kind and personable, especially when with children.
