Common questions

Piano FAQ.

Do I need a real piano to start?

A weighted 88-key keyboard is fine for the first 6-12 months. We'll help you pick one — or you can rent through our studio with free lessons included.

How old should kids be to start piano?

We recommend starting around age 5-6 when hand size and focus align. We use fun, story-based materials to keep young students engaged.

How often should I practice?

20-30 minutes, 4-5 days a week is the sweet spot for steady progress. We give you a focused practice plan at every lesson.

How much are piano lessons in Midtown?

In-home piano lessons in Midtown start at $75 for 30 minutes. Studio and online lessons start at $50. We also offer memberships from $99/month for students who want weekly lessons.

Do your teachers travel to Midtown?

Yes! Our piano teachers travel directly to your Midtown home for every lesson. You can also choose online lessons if that's more convenient. Same teacher, same time each week.

Can I start piano as a complete beginner in Midtown?

Absolutely. Many of our Midtown students start with zero experience. Your teacher will build a custom plan starting with the basics, and you'll be playing music you enjoy within the first few weeks.
