Piano Lessons Montreal – In-Studio, At-Home or Online

Piano lessons usually take place once per week. This is the standard for most piano teachers. The reason is that it allows students enough time to work on the lesson material between lessons. It’s important for students to have enough time between lessons to develop good practise habits. One lesson a week helps achieve that.

At Musiprof, 30 minute piano lessons in Montreal range from $20.00 CAD to $35.00 CAD depending on the teacher.

The average price for private piano lessons in Montreal is:

– 30 minutes: $25.00
– 45 minutes: $33.50
– 60 minutes: $41.00

For most people, one lesson a week is ideal. For others, 2 lessons a week can allow a student to learn a complementary piano topic like technique, music theory or even music history.
Some students have difficulty working on piano lesson materials by themselves. They may lack discipline, or they could be struggling due to a learning disability. For these students, a second weekly lesson can allow them to revisit the material a second time or to help them learn to practise properly.

Piano lessons for adults are very popular. Studies have proven that adults of all ages exhibit brain plasticity. Meaning, you can teach an old dog new tricks. Furthermore, learning to play an instrument has proven benefits for preventing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in old age.
Adults may not learn as naturally and as quickly as young children, but they have the advantage of having better developed muscles and increased levels of discipline, which leads to better practising strategies.

The recommended age to begin private piano lessons in Montreal for kids is between 5-9 years old. Children under 5 will have a difficult time learning the necessary skills (fingering, learning the notes, reading, etc.)  That said, children under 5 can certainly take music lessons, but lessons should be focused on easy percussion, singing, and simple ear training.

Finding a good piano teacher for children is not the same as finding one for adults.  A good teacher needs to have experience with kids and understand what makes them tick.  We’ve written a great blog post on the topic: 5 tips for teaching music to children.
