FAQ

* WHAT AGE CAN A CHILD START PIANO LESSONS? The right age for a child to begin piano lessons depends on their individual interest and development. Many experts suggest starting around 4 or 5 years old when children typically have the finger strength, coordination, and attention span needed for basic piano instruction. However, some younger children may also be ready, and we’re happy to tailor our piano lessons to suit their needs with engaging, age-appropriate activities that make learning fun and rewarding.

* HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT PIANO FOR HOME PRACTICE? Selecting the right piano for home practice depends on your space, budget, and long-term goals. A full-size, 88-key digital or acoustic piano is recommended to provide a complete range of notes and an authentic playing experience. Acoustic pianos offer rich tone and dynamic touch but require regular tuning and more space, while digital pianos are a great alternative for beginners, offering weighted keys, volume control, and built-in learning tools. If space is limited, a high-quality keyboard with weighted keys and pedal compatibility can still provide a solid foundation for learning. Ensuring your child has the right instrument will make their practice more effective and enjoyable.

* HOW CAN I SUPPORT MY CHILD'S PIANO HOME PRACTICE EFFECTIVELY? Supporting your child’s piano practice at home starts with creating a structured and encouraging environment. Set aside a dedicated practice space that is quiet and free from distractions. Establishing a consistent routine, even just 10 to 20 minutes of focused practice daily, helps build discipline and steady progress. Celebrate achievements, no matter how small, to keep your child motivated and engaged. Sitting in on practice sessions, offering positive reinforcement, and setting clear but achievable goals can make learning piano a more enjoyable and rewarding experience. Your involvement plays a crucial role in fostering both musical growth and a lifelong love for playing.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR MY CHILD TO BECOME PROFICIENT AT PIANO? With consistent practice, weekly private lessons, and group playing experience, children and adults can develop basic piano proficiency in as little as six months. More advanced skills typically take three to five years to master, though progress varies based on age, practice habits, and dedication at home. Regular home practice, ideally at least 30 minutes per day, significantly enhances learning and helps students retain what they’ve covered in lessons.
