We generally recommend that children under the age of 8 start with at least 6 months of piano/keyboard. Not only is creating sound on a keyboard far simpler than it is on other instruments, it's linear and intuitive layout allows for quickly building a foundational understanding of music theory. This makes transferring to other instruments much quicker and more enjoyable.

Our special trial lesson package includes two 30-minute trial lessons spaced a week apart at $185 - books and materials are included. After that, we prorate our annual tuition, which is $3240 for 32 lessons and 2 recital opportunities. There is a monthly payment plan available. The semester runs September 8th, 2025 - June 26th, 2026, and mostly follows the NYC Public School holiday schedule with a few additions. Special discounts are available, which we'll discuss on a free consultation call. You can book a call here.

4. Are your child's fine motor skills developed enough to play a key with each of their 5 fingers?
