  • Yes, you can absolutely start your piano lessons with a keyboard! While we recommend using a keyboard with standard-size and weighted keys to best replicate the feel of an acoustic piano, we understand that many students begin with what they have available. As you progress, having weighted keys can improve your technique and provide a more authentic learning experience, but we are happy to help you start your musical journey with any keyboard.

  • We understand that illness and unexpected events happen. While we do have a 24-hour cancellation policy to ensure smooth scheduling and respect for our instructors’ time, we ask that you try to notify us as early as possible. Last-minute cancellations can create gaps in your instructor’s schedule, especially since they travel to students’ homes. To honor their time and commitment, we compensate our instructors for lessons canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice. However, we always aim to be flexible and understanding, so please reach out if you have concerns.
