Can Adults Learn to Play Piano?
Of course! Adults can learn to play the piano at any age. We believe that there is a misconception in music education that piano lessons are strictly reserved for young children. You'll hear this especially in regards to concert pianists -- that if you don’t start from a very young age you’ll never make it to the stage. Well, we're here to help you adjust that mindset. For us, it's never too late to learn to play the piano as an adult.
We want to help you find joy in your music and help you create art that you feel passionate about. And for the Boston Piano Lessons instructors, teaching adult music lessons is especially meaningful. This is because we get the opportunity to share our passion for music and the piano with our peers and fellow cohorts.
We can’t wait to help you learn to play the piano as an adult today! Schedule private piano lessons in Boston now, or ask about our new group music classes.

Learning Piano as an adult can give you an advantage
When you start taking piano lessons for adults, you'll find you have a whole set of skills already that will make the learning process easier than you might have thought. As an adult, you have life experiences you can draw on, from your education to time spent listening to and consuming music. You have a clearer vision of what interests you and what excites you than a child might. You have the benefit of knowing what makes you feel passionate. That's a mighty leg up when beginning piano lessons in itself! And that's also what gets us excited to help adults learn to play piano, because we can be very specific about the content we study and its relationship to each of our student’s personal goals.
It’s not uncommon for our adult piano students to focus on projects, whether that might be song learning, improvising, composing, or producing music. Adults typically do very well when it comes to theory, compositional concepts, and any analysis or critical thinking required in song deconstruction and writing.
Is It Hard to Learn Piano As An Adult?
At our Boston piano school, we find that the biggest challenge adult beginners face when learning to play an instrument for the first time is simply patience. That, and a busy schedule. While the intellectual and conceptual elements of learning to play piano will come to you quickly (how many years of math and science did you take in school?), the motor function control and coordination will take a lot more time. Now throw that time requirement into a schedule with a full-time job, social life and possibly even a family at home, and we’ve got a tricky puzzle on our hands.
That’s why all our instructors are also experts in productivity -- out of sheer necessity, really. Each Boston Piano Lessons instructor has clocked thousands of hours practicing piano on their own. Through these experiences, we’ve all gained a strong understanding about how to make gains and improvements on your instrument in the most efficient ways possible. We’ll help you make the most of your time spent at our Allston music school!
How Can I Be More Efficient When Learning to Play Piano?
“Developing routine and habit”
“Practice logging & tracking”
“Practice prioritization”
“Analytical reflection”
“Timed practice”
“Simplification of practice material”
“Creating and maintaining focus”
These are all valuable tools that our piano instructors will work with you on to make sure that your practice time during your piano lessons with us offers you the most return possible. To improve at any skill, you’ve got to put in the work, and learning piano as an adult is no different! There are smart tactics you can use to work that will make you feel more accomplished and in control of your progress. Let us help you learn how to play the piano efficiently!
