Samantha B. says, "I started taking lessons from John about 3 years ago. John really knows what he is talking about and gives great feedback. I had taken lessons previously as a child/teen so was pretty rusty when I started lessons again. I had also developed some bad habits from a place I was taking lessons at before finding John. He really helped me work through those issues and my technique and ability has improved significantly since starting lessons with him." Read more

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

Hi, and thanks for stopping by. I've been on this site for years, but recently, it was reset. So, all my information was erased. I teach all styles, for all different kinds of people. My lessons are extremely fun, and we use a lot of popular music, as well as classics and jazz. I teach my students to improvise as well as learn how to read music. Something that most teachers would never touch. I’ve been doing this since 1991, and I gear my lessons for each individual. Here are some review from over the years: Trevor S. David Kellen has been more than just a piano teacher for me, he's been an intelligent mentor and a respected friend. He

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?

Reviews for Naperville piano teachers

Recent success stories from people in the Naperville area.
Judy S.
I am an adult student of John O’Keefe. I have studied with him for the past nine years. I knew how to read music when I started studying with him and was only playing what had already been written. My primary focus was to learn how to play standard tunes by reading chord progressions. John’s teaching has taken me through the formation of chords, explanation of what makes them different (7th’s, 9th’s, 11th’s, 13th’s) and the best way to play them (voicings) so as to bring so much color to the music. I love learning music theory, the “how to” and “why” of the music. He teaches and explains in a manner which is easily understood. My weakness has been timing but we have incorporated exercises focused on different time signatures. John’s suggestions how to practice these exercises have been invaluable and I can hear an improvement. He is very knowledgeable about music, is committed to his students and is very encouraging to the student through the learning process and taking you to the next level. The studio is a very neat and organized environment. There is a choice for having lessons on a digital piano or an acoustic piano (my personal choice). The studio is high tech so I was able to have one of the songs I learned recorded. I highly recommend John O’Keefe whether you are a beginner, someone who has been on hiatus for many years and looking to get back to studying piano again or looking for a teacher to help you advance in your studies.

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.

Dhilanthi was an excellent piano teacher who taught my son for several years. He very much enjoyed his lessons with her. She developed his technique but also his passion for music and his expression. I would unreservedly recommend her as a piano teacher.

Tad has been wonderful! His expertise and training really shine through the lessons with my children. He has suggested specific books that will address their areas of need while also keeping in mind their song/style interests and goals. Tad provides challenging yet engaging lessons that have already expanded their skill level. Always communicative, courteous, and punctual, I would highly recommend Tad to anyone looking for piano lessons.
