START YOUR MUSIC JOURNEY with the piano! Learn how to play the piano at our school, - perfect for beginners, from easy first songs to building lifelong music skills.
If you’ve been dreaming of learning music but aren’t sure where to begin, I have one word for you: piano. Whether you’re five years old or fifty-five, the piano has a magical way of making music feel accessible from the very first note. As a music school, we’ve seen countless students take their first piano lesson and quickly fall in love — and for good reason.
Today, we’ll explore why the piano is the best starting point for your musical adventure, how piano lessons work for different skill levels, and why it might just be the instrument that keeps you motivated for years to come.
When people start learning music, they often worry about reading notes, getting the rhythm right, and making their fingers do what their brain tells them. Here’s the good news: with the piano, you can play a simple melody in your first lesson — even if you’ve never touched an instrument before.
Unlike a guitar, where you need to build calluses, or a violin, where finding the right pitch can take months, the piano gives you instant feedback. Press a key, and you get a clean, correct note. No tuning on the fly, no awkward hand cramps. Just music.
If you’re a parent looking for lessons for kids, or an adult finally making time for a hobby, the piano offers the perfect blend of fun and engaging learning.
If your goal is to one day play music on multiple instruments, the piano is like the Swiss Army knife of music education. You see the entire musical landscape right in front of you — every note, every chord, every interval.
With a good piano instructor, you’ll naturally start to understand music theory while you play. That means when you later pick up a guitar, join a choir, or even try jazz piano, you’ll already have the skills to make sense of what you’re playing.
Some of our piano students even say that starting with piano made learning other instruments almost effortless. It’s the perfect tool for building a lifelong love of music.
One of my favorite things about teaching piano is that there’s truly no “too late” to start. I’ve seen students of all ages — from preschoolers to retirees — light up when they play their first song.
And thanks to technology, you can now choose between online piano lessons and in-person lessons. Whether you’re across town or across the country, you can connect with a qualified piano teacher and take lessons in a way that fits your lifestyle.
At Ardes Music lessons are available seven days a week, so even the busiest schedules can find time for music.
Your first weeks of beginner piano lessons might be all about simple tunes and easy chords. But as your piano practice continues, you’ll start exploring sheet music, experimenting with different styles, and maybe even trying your first recital.
Many of our piano programs include performance opportunities — not to pressure you, but to give you a chance to share your progress with friends and family. Trust me, there’s nothing quite like the applause after you’ve played a song you once thought was impossible.
Another reason the piano is the best piano for beginners? It’s endlessly versatile. Want to play classical? Jazz piano? Pop hits? Broadway tunes? The piano works for them all.
If you’re into popular piano songs, there are lessons for popular songs that will have you playing your favorite melodies quickly. And for those who love improvisation, the piano is a dream for creating your own music.
6. Piano Lessons Can Be Flexible and Fun
Not everyone learns the same way, which is why we offer both group piano classes and private piano lessons. Some students thrive in a social setting, while others prefer the focus of one-on-one instruction.
We also offer live lessons for real-time interaction and lessons online for convenience. If you want to learn piano online with free online piano lessons as a supplement, that’s a great way to practice between classes.
Our teachers use a mix of piano and music theory, ear training, and fun repertoire to keep things interesting. After all, learning the piano should feel exciting — not like homework.
With piano, your progress is visible and measurable. The first time you read sheet music without hesitation or play through an entire chord progression without stopping, you’ll feel that satisfying “click” moment.
And unlike some instruments that require months before you can play a full song, the piano allows you to play your first song early on, which keeps your motivation high.
Once you have some piano instruction under your belt, you can:
The piano also makes it easier to collaborate with other musicians, since it can cover both melody and harmony — something not every instrument can do.
At our school of music, we believe learning the piano should be as joyful as it is educational. Our piano faculty includes instructors with a Master of Music degree, years of teaching experience, and a genuine passion for helping students succeed.
We welcome beginners learning the piano, advanced students polishing recital pieces, and everyone in between. Lessons are designed for piano at any age, and we offer both online and in-person formats.

If you’ve been wondering which instrument to start with, the piano truly checks all the boxes: beginner-friendly, musically rich, adaptable to any style, and endlessly rewarding.
Whether you choose online music lessons, in-person lessons, or a mix of both, the important thing is to start. Because the moment you press that first key in your first piano lesson, you’re not just making a sound — you’re beginning your story as a musician.
