Jon J. says, "I had my daughter, a 12 year-old flute player, start taking lessons with Mrs. Wilt and I can't find enough good things to say about her. Since working with Mrs. Wilt, my daughter's playing skills have improved incredibly, and more importantly, it has increased her confidence and love of music. Mrs. Wilt is patient, responds to the needs and wants of her students, challenges them appropriately, helps them find music they love to play, and starts teaching theory right away in digestible bits, which is (in my opinion) an important building block to future success. In summary, my daughter's skill level has moved beyond what is being taught in her band program, and it is all thanks to Mrs. Wilt. If you are looking for a great flute tutor in the Fox Valley area, Mrs. Wilt gets my beaming recommendation." 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?

Yes, you can learn to play piano online through a webcam or virtual tutorials. Search our list of online piano teacher near you to find an instructor. Online piano lessons are often more convenient than in-person lessons and cost 20% less on average.

How do I select a piano teacher?

  • Get at least three free estimates to compare.
  • 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.
  • Get a written estimate and schedule before the first lesson.
  • Avoid making a large payment up front. Follow a payment plan instead.

After asking questions and browsing reviews, hire the best piano instructor in your area.

  • How long have you been teaching piano?
  • Do you have a degree in music?
  • What age do you typically teach?
  • What genre of piano do you specialize in?

Matt is a phenomenal guitar teacher! He has the formal education and the passion necessary to be a truly effective instructor. After every lesson, he e-mails me a summary of what I need to work on. He makes learning guitar fun but also holds me accountable. And he teaches all ages. Lessons with Matt are the highlight of my week!

Mrs. Wilt has a very extensive musical background with many different instruments. And she is a very patient, thorough and caring teacher. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a music teacher for their young one. That student will get a very full understanding of music theory, and will enjoy playing and practicing an instrument.
