I’ve been teaching piano for over forty years. Most of my students stay with me from the age of five until they leave for college. I also have experience working with children with special needs. Lessons are personalized for all ages and skill levels, with flexible scheduling options to suit busy families. Students also have opportunities to perform in recitals and prepare for exams and competitions. My goal is to make lessons fun, engaging, and inspiring—especially for young learners.

I take a uniquely personal approach to every one of my clients. I make sure to know something about each of my students, and assess, as I go along, what I think would work best for them. I understand the importance of getting to know individual learning styles. How individuals learn is, essentially, the bridge between what is being relayed and what is being received. I enjoy getting to know a variety of people who share my interests. I enjoy relaying my passion for music and playing the piano....

I’ve been taking lessons from him for more than a year, and because of his instruction, have progressed so much more than I ever thought I’d be able to. In particular, as the pandemic has forced distance learning upon most people, he has made a great effort to make online lessons not only effective, but enjoyable, and I can absolutely say he has succeeded at both!"

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?

  • Ask for references from current or recent students.
  • Make sure they are kind and personable, especially when with children.

I began taking accordion lessons from Mike Rubin in June of 2020 after many years of not playing. Mike is an accomplished musician who can effectively share his skills with his students in an organized and clear manner, as well as being understanding and encouraging. Most of all he is willing and able to teach to the student's priorities and allows you to set the agenda for what you want to learn. I would highly recommend him.

Justin has been very patient with my 8-year old who began with no knowledge of piano. It has now been about 8 months since he started and we've been extremely impressed with the level at which he can now play. Justin is very knowledgeable, is an accomplished pianist, and knows how to adapt his teaching to each individual student. We would highly recommend Justin to anyone interested in learning how to play.

Mr. Amir is kind, supportive, conscientious, patient and calm, even when our 7 year old loses his cool or our 3 year old stages a distraction.

It is great pleasure to share my experience here. Ms Bella is my son - Eric's first piano teacher. Eric took piano lessons with Bella beginning September 2013 and he stayed with Ms. Bella ever since until she left Syracuse in December 2016. Ms Bella is good at teaching her students according to their levels of knowledge and ability. She not only taught the basic skills and emphasizing on scales and fingering, but she also focused on the dynamics, on how to bring color to the music piece. She was also able to impart her enthusiasm and love of playing the piano onto Eric. Rather than working directly from a piano lesson book, she would select and play difference pieces of music to allow Eric to choose what he wants to learn. She also encouraged Eric to find out more about the composer of the music he played. By doing so, Eric became more interested in practicing and playing piano. Ms. Bella is friendly and patient. She would praise Eric's accomplishments and acknowledge each newly learned measure of music. She was very proud of each student and was evident during recitals that were held twice a year. Ms. Bella plays an important role in fostering Eric's interest in music. It also helped him to learn other music instrument with the greatest of ease. I respect Ms. Bella for many of her qualities. I highly recommend her as a piano teacher and I am envious of her future students who can experience her passion and love of music.
