Piano Lessons for Kids in Menlo Park and Atherton

What they'll learn:  Children benefit greatly from being exposed to music at a early age--the younger, the better! Since musical instruments like piano require patience and practice, kids develop a good work ethic and dedication which are both great life skills. Once the piano becomes easier and their hard work pays off, they will gain confidence and appreciate the value of their work.
Ages: 5+
Time Commitment: 1-2 hours per week for lessons + additional time for practice
Cost: $15+ per lesson

Some kids might be ready for their first piano lesson earlier, but 5 years is the recommended age for the memorization skills and dexterity. Practice is a very important part in success with piano, so prepare to dedicate at least an additional hour per week solely to practice.
