I am a fun, passionate, university-educated pianist who brings enthusiasm and energy to every lesson I teach. I have made a career out of music because I believe it to be one of the best things in life, and I want to share that energy with you as you grow at the piano :) I have extensive experience working with both children and adults. Primarily, I teach in groups, but for adults and zoom students, classic one-on-one lessons are the best bet. With all students, I focus on technique, music theory (we begin reading music right away!), rhythm, ear-training, and a bit of music history thrown in there for fun. I seek to train well-rounded mu...

I have enjoyed teaching students for many years, including children, college students at PLU, and adults, and have tried to incorporate my educational and creative background into helping students realize their dreams and goals. I received a Bachelor of Music degree from the Eastman School of Music and Master of Music degree from the University of Southern California, majoring in Composition, and have had music played in different parts of the world. I've received several awards from The American Prize, Global Music Awards, and ASCAP. Writing for different instruments, as well as doing three instructional books has been helpful in structuring...

One of the reasons I love teaching music is because it opens the door to great opportunities for my students. For those students who are learning to develop their singing voice or play an instrument, music is an experience that activates creative genius. My students learn how to train their ear to recognize musical patterns in the songs they’re learning to sing and play as they develop the skills to recognize when their voice and instrument are out of tune. I also coach students in how to play their music and practice between lessons so that they are building their music muscles as they become strong musicians. I’ve been teaching voice, pi

My primary goal is to illuminate the best path for the student to take to find fulfillment in playing piano. My lessons are much more than learning to play scales by rote - rather, every thing I teach will get the student closer to their goal. Playing music has been a source of tremendoud joy in my life. The lessons are about teaching the student how to discover this joy in playing.

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?

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?
