Hemdah positive atmosphere, the "you-can-do-this" attitude paired with high expectations and high quality instruction made this a perfect fit. I feel very fortunate to have found Hemdah.

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?

Start by searching our list of piano teachers, then:

  • 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.

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

Carol R.
As an adult beginning piano student, I am pleased that Hemda takes me at a pace that is comfortable. She's patient and encouraging. When there is a problem measure or two, she knows just the right technique to help with improvement of that section. Highly recommend.

''Ms. Amanda Schafer has been a wonderful piano teacher for my son, who began lessons when he was just over five years old. Ms. Amanda is kind and patient with him, while still reinforcing good technique and habits to give him a strong foundation. She also keeps things fun in small ways, like encouraging the kids to choose pieces that are interesting to them and letting them play in costume at Halloween. When in-person lessons were suspended for five months due to the coronavirus pandemic, Ms. Amanda transitioned easily to Zoom lessons and kept him engaged and motivated. After a year and a half of lessons, I am amazed at how much Malcolm has learned and also how excited he continues to be about keeping up his lessons. I am so thankful that he has had such a dedicated teacher to instill in him an early love of music.''
