I studied classical piano for 10 years and have a minor in music from Carroll University. I studied piano & music theory with Ray Santisi. Ray was an instructor at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. I played piano in the Lobby Bar of the Pfister Hotel for over 25 years. In 2020, the Pfister cut back on their entertainment due to the Covid. I have also played for Royal Caribbean Ships and other cruise lines. I only teach 1-hour lessons. However, the lessons can be EVERY WEEK OR EVERY OTHER WEEK. I only teach students that are 18 or older. My schedule is quite flexible as day of the week and time of day. The instructional series I use are

Leica J. says, "Dr. Iacob has been an extraordinary piano teacher for my son, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Over the past several years, my son has flourished under Dr. Iacob’s guidance, showing remarkable improvement in both his technical skills and musical expression. His ability to play complex pieces with precision and emotion has grown tremendously, and it’s clear that Dr. Iacob’s teaching methods are both effective and inspiring. What sets Dr. Iacob apart is his ability to instill confidence in his students. My son used to be hesitant and unsure about performing, but Dr. Iacob’s patient, encouraging approach has transformed him into a confident young musician who now looks forward to recitals and sharing his music with others. Dr. Iacob takes the time to understand my son’s unique strengths and challenges, tailoring lessons to keep him engaged and motivated. Beyond his expertise, Dr. Iacob’s passion for music is contagious, and his dedication to his students is truly exceptional. He has not only helped my son grow as a pianist but has also sparked a lifelong love for music. We are so grateful to have Dr. Iacob as a teacher and mentor!" Read more

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.

Sara M.
Ms. Jennifer did a wonderful job with my two daughters, ages 8 and 7. In the short few months they had with Jennifer I feel they had amazing progress. Additionally she is very accommodating to any concerns we may have brought to her. She always keeps us up to date on their progress and what they need to focus on. I would have continued to keep my girls with her for the long term but sadly we are moving out of state. I would highly recommend her!

My granddaughters started with Mr Carl at ages 4 and 6 and we are really happy with their progress. He has infinite patience, provides clear instruction, is encouraging and sensitive to their individual learning styles. He has a knack for teaching children that they really respond to. The girls are progressing nicely and they love going.

I had not played the piano for many, many years. Dr Iacob has incredibly patience and I learn new things every lesson. He understands and encourages me to meet my goals. At first I thought Dr. Iacob was too qualified to teach a senior citizen such as myself, and I wasn’t sure he would be right for me. I am happy to say I was mistaken and I look forward to ever lesson.

Daniel has been fantastic with my 8 year old. He has been taking lessons with Daniel for almost a year now and his growth has been incredible. Daniel has taught my son to play with music that my son chooses and now he can just look at any chord sheet and just play. It’s unbelievable. If you are hesitant about virtual, I just want to say how awesome Daniel is with it. He catches everything. He is so observant. I couldn’t recommend him enough!
