Who can take lessons at Con Brio Piano Studio?

We welcome learners of all ages and backgrounds—whether you’re starting your first piano lesson or returning to music after a break. Our programs are designed to meet each student’s unique pace and goals.

How do I know which lesson format is right for my family?

Con Brio offers Studio, In-Home, and Online lessons, each designed to meet unique schedules and learning styles. To ensure the best fit, we schedule a meet-and-greet audition, inviting families to visit the studio, explore our programs, and discuss individual goals. This personalized introduction helps you select the lesson format that will inspire growth, creativity, and a lasting love for music.

What is the typical progression for a beginner?

Students begin with foundational technique, music literacy, and basic repertoire. Lessons gradually incorporate improvisation, composition, and performance skills. Each student’s journey is individualized to foster both technical proficiency and creative expression.

Do students need their own piano?

Yes. A piano or full-sized keyboard at home is necessary for practice between lessons. For In-Home lessons, we can provide guidance on ideal placement and setup to ensure a productive learning environment.

How often should beginners practice?

Daily practice is essential for building foundational skills and fostering a lifelong connection with the piano. Beginners are encouraged to practice 15–20 minutes per day, gradually increasing as their proficiency grows. Consistency is more important than duration—small, focused daily sessions are far more effective than infrequent, longer sessions.

Are performance opportunities available for beginners?

Absolutely. We host recitals and participate in events through local music organizations. Performance is framed as an enjoyable opportunity for growth, confidence-building, and musical celebration.

How quickly will my child see progress?

Progress varies by student and practice consistency. At Con Brio, lessons focus on measurable growth while fostering a lifelong love of music. Our structured yet flexible approach ensures steady development for every learner.

What if my student is shy or hesitant to perform?

We prioritize a supportive and nurturing environment. Students are encouraged to take performance steps at their own pace, building confidence organically as skills develop.

How do I prepare my child for their first lesson?

Just bring enthusiasm, a learner’s heart, and focus! Having a quiet practice space at home will support daily practice and reinforce the skills learned in class.
