FAQ

When can my child start piano lessons?

We accept students as early as five years old. If your child is able to move their fingers independently, focus on a task for several minutes at a time, and be cooperative in a class setting, they may be ready for piano lessons. Bonus points if they have shown a personal interest in music!

Where are piano lessons held?

All in-person lessons are held at Charity Baptist Church in Greensboro, NC. Under certain circumstances where lessons may not be held in person, the teacher may arrange for lessons to be taken via Zoom.

When is tuition due? How can I make payments?

Tuition is due by the 1st of each month (e.g. tuition for January is due by January 1st). Overdue tuition will incur a late fee of $5 for each week tuition is late. Payments may be made by cash, check, Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, or Zelle. We do not currently accept credit card payments.

What materials will students need for lessons?

Each student is required to bring his/her lesson book and any additional assigned music to each lesson. Students are welcome to bring a pencil and notepad if they would like to write their own practice notes during the lesson. Each student is required to have a home piano or digital keyboard to practice assigned music between lessons.

What kind of piano do I need for home practice?

Students should have either an acoustic piano or full-sized (88-key) digital keyboard with weighted keys. If buying a used acoustic piano, check that all keys and the damper pedal are working properly. If buying a keyboard, keep in mind that a straightforward keyboard with 88 weighted keys will be more valuable to a beginner than a keyboard with lots of buttons and sounds. Budget-friendly pianos and keyboards in good condition can often be found on Facebook Marketplace.

A few popular brands with student-grade models are Yamaha, Roland, Casio, Alesis, and Williams. For recommendations on keyboards within various budgets, see this article.

Will my child have opportunities to meet and interact with other students?

Yes, students are given opportunities to participate in studio events and meet other students of all ages and levels. Recitals and piano parties are some of the ways students can meet each other and make new friends!
