FAQ
Is my child ready for lessons?
A: To begin taking lessons, your child must:
1. Know the first 7 letters of the alphabet (A B C D E F G) and numbers 1-5
2. Know right hand from left hand
3. Be able to sit still and listen to instruction
4. Show an interest in learning to play piano
5. Be able to sound out 3-4 letter words
Will I need a piano at home?
A: Yes, just like your child cannot learn to play soccer without a soccer ball, or ballet without ballet slippers, they cannot learn to play the piano without a piano to practice on.
How often would my child attend a lesson?
A: Lessons occur once a week, every week.
Can my child try out lessons to see if he/she likes piano?
A: I recommend committing to at least 1 year of piano lessons. It is just not possible to explore the many possibilities on the piano in a few lessons. Ideally, one should commit to 3 years of lessons, and then determine whether or not they would like to pursue further.
