Austin Piano Lessons (for ages 4 and up)
Piano has traditionally been the most popular instrument to learn, and we have great instructors ready to help you quickly play it! Whether you are interested in learning Mozart sonatas, Bach fugues , 21 Pilots, Billy Joel or that synth keyboard part on Rush’s “Tom Sawyer,” we aim to be the best piano lesson experience in Austin!
Learning piano doesn’t have to be hard! Our instructors are very warm, friendly, and patient and are ready to help you work on the most important aspects of becoming the piano player you’ve always wanted to be!
All of our piano lessons are taught by experienced instructors with years of performing experience. Many of our instructors studied music from The University of Texas, Berklee College of Music, SUNY Onenota, University of North Texas, Goshen College, and Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts.
It is ideal if you do have a piano at home before starting lessons, but you can start lessons with our piano teachers by using an electric keyboard to practice on. Most of our students rent or buy small electric keyboards to practice on at home. We recommend a keyboard that has regular sized keys and is fully-weighted, or at least has a touch-sensitive response. A touch-sensitive keyboard means if you press a key harder it will play louder, and if you press a key softer it will play quieter. Fully-weighted keyboards will have this too, but the keys will also feel like there is weight behind them when you push them, so it is closer to the feel of a real piano.
Our friends at Rock n Roll Rentals are a great resource for renting keyboards. Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or Strait Music are good places to find pianos.
To have the best success, look for the following things in a keyboard:
- 88 keys
- Sustain Pedal (when you hold it down, the sound rings out)
- Fully-weighted, or at least touch-sensitive keys (when you play harder, it sounds louder; when you play softly, it sounds quieter)
- Ask us about our Band Aid School of Music discounts at select retailers.
Austin Piano Lessons FAQ
WHAT WILL I LEARN IN LESSONS?
Our teachers understand that every student is an individual, with personal musical needs and goals. We make it a priority to tailor how we teach and what we teach to your individual needs.
If you enroll here for piano lessons, your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child. Together, you will develop a plan to achieve your goals! We love beginners, so even if you don’t know where to begin, we can help!
ARE YOUR INSTRUCTORS QUALIFIED?
Our piano instructors are highly qualified, all have teaching experience, and most importantly, they have a passion for teaching. Being a musician doesn’t automatically make you a great teacher–that’s why we search for and train those who are best qualified for mentoring our music students!
We search the Live Music Capital of the World for the top teachers, who embody the high values at Band Aid School of Music. Most importantly, our instructors strive to relate their teaching to each individual student’s learning style. Many of our instructors have gone on performance tours of the USA and Europe and have years of professional performance and teaching experience. In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities, are extremely friendly, and strive to get to know each student and their parent on a personal level. We search high and low and train our staff to be the BEST teachers, so you don’t have to!
WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC CAN I LEARN?
We teach all styles from rock, pop, jazz, country, worship, blues, and classical. We combine the important fundamentals with the music YOU want to play. With 20+ teachers at Band Aid School of Music, you are sure to find the best match for YOU.
WHAT’S THE #1 REASON TO STUDY PIANO AT BAND AID SCHOOL OF MUSIC?
Our piano instructors are warm and friendly and get to know each student and parent on a personal level. We work with you to craft a lesson plan that fits your individual needs and the student’s favorite type of music. Whether you’re playing professionally, a seven-year-old taking their first lesson, or a fifty-year-old returning to the piano after many years, we’ll set goals to achieve your musical aspirations.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN TO PLAY PIANO?
There is no set answer of how long it takes to learn to play. With regular practice a basic level of playing can be accomplished in a few months. Most of our students take lessons on a long term basis because they want to be constantly improving, and they find the lessons enjoyable.
I DON’T HAVE ANY MUSICAL BACKGROUND OR ABILITY. CAN I STILL HELP MY CHILD PRACTICE?
Yes. Even if you don’t have a musical background you can ask your teacher and staff for advice on how to help your child practice. By simply monitoring that they are doing exercises a certain number of times per day the student will progress. Parents will occasionally sit in on their child’s music lesson to get an idea of the proper way a song should sound or how the student should be positioning their hands.
