Meryll D. says, "Ms. Jan has been a wonderful piano teacher for my two girls for the past 3 years. She has always been very professional and patient with them. They now both love and enjoy playing on their free time thanks to her, who has inspired them to do their best and love music by teaching them counts and how to read notes without difficulty. My oldest went from playing with only 1 hand to playing Saint-Saens -“The Swan.” I am impressed with the amount of skill they have acquired at their age (10yr and 12yr). Ms. Jan comes to our house with a positive attitude and always has a smile on her face. We love her! If you are looking for a dependable, trustworthy, talented piano teacher who is motivating and kind, I highly recommend her! " Read more

Cynthia P. says, "Sloane has been the perfect teacher for my son's beginning violin lessons. She is wonderful and patient with him. He informed me of how much he enjoys her instructions, which is music to my ears! In no time, he picked up new techniques and tips to improve his playing. Now he shows more eagerness to practice. Her experience with the violin is apparent, therefore I only rely on her advice for resources and instrumental accessories. Thank you Sloane!" 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.
