Cynthia L. says, "Sally has been an amazing teacher! She is very patient and takes the time to make every session centered around my personal goals! I have been seeing sally for a few months now and can say that I have already learned a lot in a very short amount of time , considering I have never played piano prior to our lessons. I am 25 years old and just started my journey of learning this beautiful instrument! I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher to guide me through it! I 100% recommend sally to anyone wanting to start/learn more about playing piano :)" 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.

Sally is such a great teacher while I have only started lessons a couple months ago, I really feel like i have been able to watch myself improve with her being my instructor. She’s allowed me to move at a pace I am comfortable with and has given me new things to practice every lesson so that I can really hone in on my ability’s and get to my goal. I can’t wait to see myself get better and better as time goes on.
