FAQ

Q.

Are your piano lessons only for beginners?
faq icon

A.

We specialize in beginners, but our Bellevue piano teachers also work with students who already play a little and want to improve. Our method helps both adults and kids progress quickly.

Q.

Do I need a piano at home to start lessons?
faq icon

A.

Not at all. A simple keyboard is enough for beginners. We’ll guide you on when (and if) it’s time to upgrade.

Q.

How fast will I be able to play a song?
faq icon

A.

Most of our students can play simple songs in just a few weeks. Our approach is built to give you small wins right away.

Q.

What’s the best age for kids to start piano lessons?
faq icon

A.

We welcome kids as young as 5. Every child is different, so our Bellevue piano teachers adjust lessons to their age and learning style.

Q.

Will my child actually enjoy the lessons?
faq icon

A.

Absolutely. Our beginner lessons for kids feel like play — with games, challenges, and rewards that keep them motivated.

Q.

How much practice is expected at home?
faq icon

A.

Just a few minutes a day is enough for beginners. We keep practice short and fun so kids build consistency without pressure.

Q.

Am I too old to start piano lessons?
faq icon

A.

Not at all! Many of our Bellevue students begin as adults. Our beginner piano lessons are designed to be encouraging, practical, and fun — no matter your age.

Q.

How much time do I need to practice each week?
faq icon

A.

Less than an hour. We specialize in helping busy adults make real progress with short, focused practice sessions.

Q.

Do I have to read music?
faq icon

A.

We’ll teach you as you go. You’ll start playing songs right away, while gradually learning to read music at a comfortable pace.
