Aileen B. says, "Kendrick has been giving my nephew his first photography lessons. He is very knowledgable and works very well with him. My nephew enjoys his time with Kendrick and feels he is learning a lot. Kendrick spent extra time with him when they had their first lesson in person. (Kendrick had three sessions with him via Facetime.). He gives extra also in allowing my nephew to send pictures he has taken at car shows or at football games to get Kendricks opinion on how well he is doing. Kendrick is also very personable and becomes a quick friend. I recommend Kendrick with five stars." Read more

Having the structure of a classical music background has given me a solid foundation in my music career. This foundation has given me a strong sense of the theory behind the music. I have learned to be dedicated and persistent and I have learned that it may take more than just a few weeks or months or even years to feel like I have a grasp on a piece of music. Having said all this, I've been exposed to many forms of music. I have performed many musicals, I have played many types of church music, I have played pop charts and then list goes on. Without my classical music background every other form of music would have been much more difficult ...

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.

What questions should I ask piano instructors?

When hiring piano teachers near you, ask the following questions:

  • How long have you been teaching piano?
  • Do you have a degree in music?
  • What age do you typically teach?
  • What genre of piano do you specialize in?
  • Will you give me a contract or payment arrangement in writing?

I’ve been absolutely thrilled with Dr. Peter! ! From the very first lesson, he has shown incredible patience, warmth, and skill in engaging my 6 yr old grandson, making every session fun and inspiring. Dr. Peter’s teaching style is perfectly tailored to a young beginner, using creative games and encouragement to build confidence and a love for music. My grandson has already learned so much, from basic notes to simple songs, and he looks forward to every lesson with excitement. Dr. Peter’s professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care for his progress make this experience truly exceptional. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing and talented piano instructor!

Dr. Bela made my son excited about piano lessons again. My son has been taking piano for almost 8 years and we found he wasn't being challenged or motivated anymore until starting lessons with Dr. Bela recently. So glad we found Ezra Entertainment and Dr. Bela!

Both my sons take drum lessons from Lael. He was recommended to us by a local music teacher. They absolutely love it. They have learned so much and look forward to their lesson each week. Lael makes it fun and engaging. I can’t say enough good things about what he gives to the experience of learning. I would highly recommend him.

I have played the acoustic guitar for many years. Kendrick has challenged me to play new sounds, and I am currently expanding my guitar vocabulary. If you are looking to amp up your guitar (or piano/ keyboard) musical skills, Kendrick has a wealth of knowledge and skill. He is able to teach the theory of music well and plays with much soul and knowledge combined. Highly recommended.

I am a cellist, and Jon and I collaborated many times for wedding gigs and other musical events, such as at private parties and art galleries. I always enjoyed working with Jon and coming up with creative arrangements together for everything from classical pieces to Beatles covers. Jon is a fun and easygoing person to create music with, and he is a versatile musician who can play lots of different styles, from "The Swan" to "Michelle." Definitely one of the most rewarding musical collaborations I've ever had the opportunity to be part of -- Thanks again, Jon!

Shane is an excellent teacher. I have taken guitar off and on since I was a teenager. I must say he is one of the best teachers I have had. He is extremely knowledgeable about the guitar and music in general and he shares that knowledge with his students. I appreciate that he is very professional and works patiently with me. I highly recommend him for any age person that has a desire to learn how to play the guitar!
