What age is the right age to start piano lessons?

Sarah welcomes students as young as 5 years old all the way through adulthood. For young beginners, she uses games and playful activities designed specifically for short attention spans and developing fine motor skills. Every age has something wonderful to discover at the piano — it's never too early or too late to start.

Can I sit in on my child's piano lessons?

Absolutely — and Sarah actively encourages it! Parents who observe lessons are better equipped to support practice at home, and Sarah loves building a team approach with families. You'll also receive weekly lesson notes and access to lesson recordings so you always know what your child is working on.

Do students need a piano at home to take lessons?

Yes — having an instrument at home to practice on is essential for progress. A full-size keyboard with weighted keys works well for beginners. If you're not sure what to get, Sarah is happy to point you toward some great options at a range of price points during your intro call.

What do lessons include beyond the weekly session?

Quite a lot! Every student at Harmony Music Studio receives weekly lesson notes, access to a lesson resource library, and recordings of their lessons to review assignments throughout the week. Students also have opportunities to participate in group classes, masterclasses, recitals, summer camps, and community performances.

How does the customized lesson plan work?

Before lessons begin, Sarah gets to know each student — their personality, their goals, their favorite music, and how they learn best. From there, she designs a personalized roadmap that weaves together technique, repertoire, music theory, and even composition in a way that feels exciting and achievable for that specific student. The plan evolves as they grow.
