My teaching method is more than learning to read music and play notes on the piano. I will teach you how to listen and appreciate music. Part of a lesson will be listening to and watching great musicians on my YouTube channel. Playing music is not entirely an intellectual exercise. Practicing boring exercises often makes a student quickly lose interest. While you will learn to read music and understand theory, you will also develop your ear and sense of rhythm. Most importantly you will experience music and the joy that it brings.

I let the student tell me what they'd like to learn. If someone says, "I want to learn guitar," I will ask them what they want to play once they learn the basics (if they are beginners), and tailor the subsequent lessons to that end. I believe, as every person is an individual, so should their guitar instruction be individualized. If two students both want to learn an E chord, I will teach them the standard way of playing it, but if I sense one or the other would learn better in a different way, or within a specific style of music, I do my best to adapt to their unique way of learning to play. I love playing guitar and I am good at it, so it ...

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?
  • Will you allow me to choose some or all of the songs we practice?

Great service!

I had always wanted to learn piano and I wanted to have something that my kids and I could learn together. I needed someone who was going to be good with both adults and kids and Rachel fit that perfectly. Rachel helped me by being so patient and encouraging. She made the learning process really fun but always challenged us to try to push ourselves in our learning. Her encouragement helped us want to practice in between lessons and we looked forward to her visits. She helped grow our love of learning music instead of making it feel like a chore. We were always excited to learn new songs and new lessons. My kids were very comfortable learning from Rachel. When they were struggling or made mistakes, her encouragement helped them to push through and make great improvements. I would highly recommend Rachel as a piano instructor to people who want someone to foster an enjoyment of music and instill artistry in their lives. ~ Diana Milligan

Shawn is very talented. We signed our daughter up for piano lessons, but his lessons have not at all been limited to piano. He’s taught her about all sorts of instruments; taught her the concept of a melody, rhythm, harmony; and (probably most importantly), has engaged into becoming very interested in learning about music. As a parent, it’s also fun to watch her learn to both create songs as well as start to read music. I could not recommend him enough!

Wonderful experience introducing our daughter to music. Mrs. Blanzy is patient and kind while clearly setting expectations. Mrs. Blanzy did everything she could to work with our schedule and keep music in our home. We are very grateful for the time we had with Mrs. Blanzy and we would recommend her highly!

I'm the mom of one of her students. I really love her teaching style. She is super encouraging and my boy loves her! She's great at interpersonal relationships. After the lessons, she makes sure to catch up on his life and play with him (often when I'm late to pick him up lol). They have made huge progress so far and I couldn't recommend a better teacher.
