Q & A
Q1
When's the best time to start piano?
Any time, really! It's never to late to start taking piano lessons. However, I do highly recommend younger children to start no earlier than the age of 6. We do involve a small range of number counting and alphabet naming in lessons.
Q2
Can I use a keyboard?
If you just started taking lessons, a keyboard will work just fine! Later down the road, if you feel confident about your commitment to music then you can start thinking about purchasing a piano. An acoustic piano is definitely great to have. But if you are interested in purchasing a digital piano, remember to look into a full-size 88 keys piano with damper pedal and consider having weighted keys.
Q3
Can I sit in on my child's piano lesson?
Most definitely!! It's great to know what's going on in the lessons and being able to speak to the teacher in person. I encourage all my parents to come in at least 5-10 minutes before the end of their child's lesson regularly, if not frequently. Sometimes I may have important information to go home or matters that require parent consultations.
Q4
How much piano practices are required each week?
