John G. says, "I have been taking piano lessons from Stephan for approximately a year, and when I began taking piano lessons with Stephan, I had no piano experience. As an adult who has begun my musical journey late in life with work, life, family, and other obligations the piano has not been easy for me to learn and sometimes the progress is slow; however, with Stephan’s patience and guidance I have been able to learn in a positive and encouraging manner. Based on my lack of musical background and experience, Stephan has adjusted our lessons to a level of instruction that enables me to meet my goals. A positive thing I like about Stephan is he doesn't make you feel bad about your mistakes, and he's there to help you. Stephan is a knowledgeable and energetic teacher who conveys good techniques and at the same time promotes a lifelong appreciation of music. I would certainly recommend him to anyone who has always wanted to learn piano but never got around to it like myself. As is said, “better late than never.” I am looking forward to and enjoying every lesson as my journey continues in my musical adventure." Read more

Your Piano Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on 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

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.

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.

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.

Kevin began teaching our granddaughter in January 2015. She loves piano...and Kevin's instruction has developed that passion! Not only is he highly skilled in teaching her about music theory, and the skills for playing the piano - but he is kind, patient and very, very encouraging! He is also her awesome voice teacher! We couldn't be happier! Thank you, Kevin!
