Yanan H. says, "My older daughter (8-yr old) started learning piano with Prof. Kallner about one year ago. Prof. Kallner is so knowledgeable, experienced and personable that she has helped my older daughter make very impressive progress so far. Therefore, when I looked for music lesson for my younger daughter (4-yr old), Prof. Kallner was the first one I reached out to without any hesitation. Luckily, I got a spot for my younger one, who has been enjoying the music learning with Prof. Kallner for couple months now. Prof. Kallner has been very patient with the little one and managed to induce the interest for music with her enthusiasm during the teaching. In conclusion, any students who pick Prof. Kallner as the piano teacher will definitely have an exciting music journey, during which they could achive a lot of amazing goals. " 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?

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.
  • 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 genre of piano do you specialize in?

Reviews for Schenectady piano teachers

Recent success stories from people in the Schenectady area.
Jamie G.
CeAnn is patient, caring and kind. She has taught my girls since they were 6 and 7 (now they are 14 and almost 12). I've seen both of them excel beyond what I thought was possible! I request that my girls practice more just so I can hear the beautiful music a little longer! CeAnn gives a gentle push or motivation when needed, but doesn't ever make them feel bad if they haven't practiced enough. She is also flexible and fair when it comes to schedule issues. I would absolutely 100% recommend CeAnn!
