Dan W. says, "I am an adult learner who had zero experience with piano when I started lessons with Janice. Piano was something that I always had an interest in, but had never pursued. I'm glad I finally did! With Janice's instruction I see tangible improvement week over week. Every individual learns at a different pace, and Janice recognizes this and adjusts the material to an appropriate level so it is both challenging and motivating. She is encouraging and at the same time pushes you to do your best. Her tips for practice methods have been invaluable. I come away from each lesson having learned something that has fundamentally deepened my insight of the music and the practice. Also, as an adult learner, life responsibilities can sometimes get in the way of of personal interests. Janice is flexible and accomodating with scheduling, which helps to keep me on track when the unexpected occurs. Personally, I often have difficulty sticking with new pursuits. Now that I'm close to a year into learning piano I'm confident it will be a lifelong practice. If you have had an interest in learning piano but have not taken that first step, I'd encourage you to reach out to Janice. No matter your age, the best time to start is always today." Read more

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?

  • Ask for references from current or recent students.
  • Make sure they are kind and personable, especially when with children.
