Whether you’re a parent looking to enroll your child or an adult ready to explore your passion for music, our program is designed to meet your needs.
Why Choose Piano Lessons in Austin at Franklin Music Academy?
At Franklin Music Academy, piano lessons are more than just learning notes and keys. Our instructors specialize in classical piano but also teach a variety of genres like jazz, Latin, and pop. Each lesson is tailored to the student’s individual strengths, challenges, and musical interests.
Our piano students have achieved outstanding milestones, including securing first place in UIL competitions and performing in select groups at prestigious schools. For beginners, we focus on building a solid foundation in musical literacy, setting the stage for a lifetime of musical enjoyment.
What to Expect from Piano Lessons
When you enroll in piano lessons with us, you can expect weekly one-on-one sessions lasting 30 to 60 minutes. During each lesson, we prioritize:
- Developing musical literacy
- Building confidence and independence in playing
- Exploring diverse musical styles
- Focus is on building repertoire
- Exploring musical styles from all major periods of Western Music
- Ear training
- Sight reading
- Each student designs his/her own customized course of study
- Lessons are on a weekly basis
- Method books may or may not be applicable
- Recitals are optional
Additionally, we encourage students to set goals, whether it's mastering a favorite song, performing in a recital, or competing in local festivals.
The Benefits of Private Piano Lessons for Kids and Adults
Private piano lessons are ideal for students who thrive with individual attention. Unlike group classes, one-on-one instruction allows us to customize lesson plans, focusing on each student’s unique needs.
For children, piano lessons foster discipline, patience, and creativity. For adults, it’s an opportunity to develop a new skill or revisit a passion in a supportive, stress-free environment.
Performance Opportunities for Piano Students
Public performance is an excellent way for students to build confidence and showcase their progress. At Franklin Music Academy, we offer two studio recitals each year: a dedicated piano recital and a general concert recital.
While participation is optional, we encourage students to take part when they feel ready. These experiences provide a sense of accomplishment and help students develop stage presence.
Why a Commitment to Piano Lessons Matters
Learning to play the piano is a long-term investment in your or your child’s growth. We recommend committing to at least one semester of lessons to see meaningful progress. However, students who dedicate a full year or more to their piano studies often experience the best results.
Consistency and daily practice are key to success. Our instructors help each student build a practice routine that fits their schedule, ensuring steady improvement without feeling overwhelmed.
