For Parents

Kids Piano Lessons Near West Hollywood

I teach kids piano at my studio in the Fairfax District, right next to West Hollywood. My youngest students are 3 to 4 years old. Kids lessons start with songs, chords, and rhythm so piano feels fun early, and reading and technique get built in along the way.

Most younger beginners do well with 30-minute lessons, which are $40. Start with the $20 intro, in person at the studio or online (just tell me which when you book), so we can see how your child responds and pick the right starting point. More on kids piano lessons.

FAQ

Common Questions

How much do piano lessons cost?

Lessons are $40 for 30 minutes or $60 for an hour. Everyone starts with a $20, 30-minute intro, credited toward your first month if you continue.

Do I need my own piano at home?

Having a keyboard or piano at home for practice is strongly recommended. Even an affordable 61-key keyboard works great for beginners. I can help you choose the right instrument for your budget.

What ages do you teach?

I teach students of all ages - kids, teens, and adults. My youngest students are 3 to 4 years old, and there's no upper limit. Many of my adult students are beginners, and that's totally fine.

Do you teach online lessons?

Yes! I offer both in-person lessons at my West Hollywood studio and online lessons via Zoom or FaceTime. Online works surprisingly well for piano with the right setup.

What styles of piano do you teach?

Classical, jazz, pop, R&B, film scoring, and music theory. I also incorporate music production for students interested in creating their own music.
