FAQs

piano lessons for adults​

What about adults learning to play the piano? Is it ever too late?

Have you always wanted to learn to play the piano, but never found the time?​


Research shows that studying the piano can slow the aging process.


The adult beginner should forget about performance and simply realize that there is no other activity other than walking, breathing, sleeping, and eating well that will be as therapeutically beneficial for their body, mind, and soul. Playing the piano is a good therapy for arthritis, boredom, and mental deterioration. Reading skills, hand-eye coordination, spatial thinking, achievement of goals, and expression of inner sensibilities are just a few examples of the results that regular practice and playing can achieve.


“Music making makes adults healthier.. There are significant decreases in anxiety, depression, and loneliness following keyboard lessons. These are factors that are critical in coping with stress, stimulating the immune system, and improving health. Results also show significant increases in human growth hormones following the same keyboard lessons. (Human growth hormone is implicated in aches and pains.)” — Dr.Frederick Times, reported in AMC Music News, June 2, 1999

Five Tips for Learning Piano as an Adult

1. Set a goal. It could be a piece you’ve always loved, a level or grade to reach, or even how often to play. Having a concrete goal will help you see your own progress and give you something to work toward.
2. Have patience. Learning any instrument takes time and effort. There’s a lot involved, and it will all come with practice!
3. Set a practice routine. Even just ten minutes a day will bring results, and you’ll feel good for having done it!
4. Be okay with mistakes. They’re a natural part of learning.
5. Celebrate accomplishment and effort. We often have a tendency to focus on what we’re doing wrong. Instead, try to focus on what you’re doing right – you’ll be happier with your progress and more motivated to continue!
