Stacy C. says, "My son is 14 and has been taking lessons for about 6 months. His progress has been amazing and he has loved every minute! The school does a good job of "mixing up" the lessons between actual songs and music theory. This keeps the students engaged. Also, our teacher (Dave) helped my son prep for his high school jazz band audition. He ended up being the only freshman to make the band! The school and its teachers are very professional and well-organized -- but more importantly, they are nice people who actually care about their students. Can't recommend them highly enough!!"

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.

Alex is an excellent teacher in that he takes his time with his students. He guides them through lessons, explains theory or exercises, and adds fun to the teaching. He has a great mix of technical and performance qualities that never makes the lesson feel like work.
