Hannah R. says, "Jennifer is a wonderful teacher! I just had my first lesson today as an adult student who has already been playing for a while. I started learning from books, and so Jennifer is my first teacher, and I am very excited to continue learning with her! She explains concepts very well and has shown me how I can improve, even with just one lesson. I would definitely recommend her!" Read more

Shelly K. says, "Working with Annie has been such a positive and transformative experience for my singing. From the very beginning, she created a supportive and encouraging environment—she’s always cheering you on and genuinely invested in your progress, which makes a huge difference. What really sets Annie apart is her unique approach to vocal coaching. She uses techniques that go beyond what you typically get from other voice teachers. For example, she helped me bring out vibrato in my voice in a natural way, something I had struggled with before. Her methods are thoughtful, creative, and clearly tailored to each individual. Through our work together, I’ve gained so much confidence in my singing. I’ve learned to trust my voice more, take risks, and step outside of my comfort zone. I’ve also been able to extend my vocal range, which has opened up new possibilities for me as a singer. I highly recommend Annie to anyone looking to grow their voice in a supportive, encouraging, and effective way." Read more

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?

Reviews for Waukesha piano teachers

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.

Cynthia is very passionate about music and eager to share her knowledge. I did not start taking piano lessons until I was an adult and Cynthia has been patient while making it challenging for me.

These are the following reasons why I continue to study with Catalin Iacob!: -the piano lesson is for whatever the student wants (from the start of the first lesson) -able to schedule make up lessons should something come up from student -educational background vast enough even for more experienced or even semi-professional piano players -open to any composition the student brings (even videogame or animated film original soundtracks) -emphasis on enjoying the music rather than competing to be the best musician -no punitive teaching methods -gets to know the student as a person -focus on sustainable piano-playing techniques resulting in fewer injuries and longevity in hand joint health! I started playing piano as a 7-year-old, and Dr Iacob is the best piano instructor I've had in my 22 years of playing piano!
