Overview and History of Piano

The piano is still one of the most diverse instruments today. Technically a percussive instrument, the piano is incredibly melodic and beautiful in sound. An all encompassing instrument that has been a major part of every musical movement since its invention in 1780, new and veteran players alike benefit by being able to accompany themselves in the style of their choosing.

Age to Begin Piano Lessons

The piano is an excellent instrument for starting your young musicians on. Generally, children who have started school should be able to also begin Piano Lessons. No matter the age, whether young or old, the piano is a great instrument to begin or continue your music education.

Procuring an Instrument

If you do not already have a piano there are several options that you have. The first and least expensive option is to purchase an electric piano or keyboard. We highly recommend that your electric keyboard have 66 weighted keys, in order than the touch of the instrument is more like an acoustic piano. The second option is to purchase an acoustic upright, baby-grand, or full grand piano. Upright pianos are a great option for both their value and compact size, and even renting a piano is an option that may be available from a piano dealer near you.

The Benefit of Piano Lessons

Piano lessons will give you the sense of conducting your own "mini" orchestra. All of the major classical composers were also great pianists and before they became great pianists, they took piano lessons! The piano essentially has the most diverse repertoire of all the instruments.

Learning to play piano will improve upon a student's coordination skills by requiring both hands to independently maneuver around the keys, giving independence to each hand. It is often an awe-inspiring feeling for a new player to witness this during their first lessons with our piano teacher.
