Sandy Hook Piano Lessons
Want to learn Piano? How this works:
Taking piano lessons is an excellent starting point for many students, and our Sandy Hook piano lessons are ideal for beginners as young as four years old. Early piano instruction helps students develop foundational skills like note reading and rhythm, which are invaluable for any musical path—even if they later choose to learn guitar, drums, or another band or string instrument.
At Music Learning Center, we tailor our teaching styles to match each student’s individual goals. Most students begin with a method book to establish strong fundamentals before branching out to explore favorite styles like popular, rock, jazz, or even learning to play by ear with chords.
For adults returning to piano or starting fresh, our lessons make it enjoyable to play the music you love while gaining the mental and physical benefits of learning an instrument. Whether you’re a young beginner or an adult ready to start, Sandy Hook piano lessons can help you turn your musical dreams into reality!
Do I need to purchase a piano or keyboard?
To take piano lessons you will need a keyboard or piano at home to practice. A student can begin with a keyboard that has just 61 keys as long as it is “touch sensitive”. That means that when you strike the keys lightly, they sound quiet, but when struck harder they sound louder…just like a traditional piano. A keyboard like that will be fine for a while, but pretty soon you will need the full 88 weighted keys, and pedals. A keyboard (or digital piano) that has weighted keys feels like a traditional piano (also called an acoustic piano because it is not electric). The weighted keys are important to develop proper finger strength and piano technique. Let us know if you would like additional advice on purchasing or renting a piano or keyboard. office@musiclearningcenter.org

Frequently Asked Questions
Our piano 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 every individual student. When you enroll for piano lessons with us your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music. Then together, you will set specific goals that will allow you to accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child. We love beginners, so even if you don’t know where to begin, we can help!
We teach all styles of piano music. Whether you are looking to play classical, pop, rock, contemporary Christian, jazz or blues, we will help you develop the skills necessary to play anything you want!
Our highly qualified piano instructors have warm personalities and a passion for teaching. Their goal is to help you or your child achieve their dreams of playing piano. We search the entire area for the top teachers; individuals who embody the high values at our school.

There is no set answer to how long it takes, but 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.
Yes. Even if you don’t have a musical background, you can ask the teacher for advice on how to help your child practice. By simply monitoring that they are playing the songs and exercises a certain number of times each day, you can help your child achieve steady progress. Many parents will sit in on their child’s piano lesson occasionally to get an idea of the proper way a song should sound, or how the student should be positioning their hands. Though it’s not required, our teachers can help parents be involved with their child’s learning to whatever extent that they are able. Helping the student achieve independence with their at home practice is one of the keys to long term progress.
