Adult piano study and success!

March 8, 2023

In my experience, students who enroll in adult classical piano lessons are eager to learn, and the results usually exceed their own goals! Piano lessons for adult beginners can be enjoyed at any time in your life.

I have taught adults of many ages and assorted levels. Some adult beginners are hesitant at first, but often progress quickly and gain an enriched appreciation of the music that they listen to and what they play on the piano. Most are frequently surprised at how far they go in such a short length of time (see What People Say?).

"I so value her competence and easy-going manner, both of which have contributed to the degree of success and progress I’ve made under her instruction. I'm proud to say that after seven years with Susan, I am playing at a surprisingly high level."

It's Never Too Late!

My oldest adult beginner (from Weston MA) started with me when she was 82 years old and studied through age 89. She enjoyed sharing her music each year in a Christmas recital for her family at home.

Adult piano students find success

As with any new activity, with practice, piano playing becomes an increasingly satisfying avocation. As a matter of fact, my adult students often ask me to participate in my regularly scheduled piano recitals. It's exciting to share their success with others.

"You allow me to move at my own pace without any pressure. My enjoyment of listening to music has also been enhanced since taking lessons with you, and I am so amazed at how quickly I progress in such a short period of time!"
