Questions before your first lesson?
Are beginners welcome?
Yes. You can start without any previous musical experience. Your teacher will help you get comfortable at the piano and build a foundation step by step.
Do you teach children and adults?
Yes. We teach kids, teens, and adults. For a young child, ask our team about readiness and the best starting point.
Do I need a piano before my trial?
No—we provide a piano for your trial lesson. For ongoing lessons, regular practice at home is important. Your teacher can help you choose a suitable piano or keyboard before you buy.
What does the free trial include?
A chance to meet a teacher, share your goals, and try a piano lesson before deciding whether to enroll. Beginners and experienced students are welcome.
How much are ongoing lessons?
Tuition is $150 per month for weekly 30-minute private lessons. It also includes access to recital opportunities, group performances (practicums), and our token rewards system. Ask our team about available lesson times and enrollment details.
Are recitals and group performances included in tuition?
Yes! Tuition includes access to a variety of recital opportunities and group performances, which we call practicums. These give students opportunities to share what they’re learning, build performance experience, and make music with others. Ask your teacher about upcoming events and opportunities that fit your level.
How does the token rewards system work?
Students can earn tokens and redeem them for prizes such as games, gift cards, and treats. The token system is included in tuition and adds a fun way to celebrate their efforts. Your teacher can explain how to earn tokens and which rewards are available.
Can I choose the music I learn?
Tell your teacher what you enjoy—classical, pop, jazz, or another style. Lessons combine your interests with the technique and musical foundations that help you progress.
