Our piano teachers teach a variety of styles from classical to popular music. Whether you want to learn a classical sonatina, rock chords, or popular sheet music, our piano teachers are happy to help you become the pianist you want to be. Our piano faculty will show you the fundamentals of sight reading, technique, and theory, they will also incorporate your favorite songs into your piano lessons. Our piano teachers have warm personalities and enjoy sharing their love for the piano with you.
It is ideal if you have a piano at home before starting lessons, but you can start lessons at our school with an electric keyboard to practice on. Most of our students buy digital pianos to practice on at home. We recommend at least keyboard that has 61 regular sized weighted keys and 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.
You may think that Craigslist is a good resource, and you can find a piano for around $300. However, it can be expensive to pay a piano mover (around $300), but worth it unless you have strong men, moving straps and a truck! Add to that at least two tunings and repairs. We have hand picked great new and used starter instruments to insure our students are practicing on an appropriate instrument at home.
To have the best success, look for the following things in a keyboard:
1. 88 weighted keys
2. Sustain Pedal (when you hold it down, the sound rings out)
3. Touch sensitive keys (when you play harder, it sounds louder; when you play softly, it sounds quieter)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT WILL I LEARN IN PIANO LESSONS?
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 YOUR individual needs.
When you enroll 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!
WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC CAN I LEARN?
We teach all styles of piano playing from rock, pop, jazz, country, worship, blues and classical. We combine the important fundamentals with the music YOU want to play. With all of the teachers at Fort Myers School of Music, you are sure to find the best match for YOU.
ARE YOUR PIANO 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 teacher--that's why we search for those who are best qualified for mentoring our music students!
We search the entire country for the top piano teachers, who embody the high values at Fort Myers 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 for the BEST teachers, so you don't have to!
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN TO PLAY PIANO?
There is no set answer of how long it takes to learn to play piano. 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 the teacher for advice on how to help your child practice piano. 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.
