Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to start learning the piano as a complete beginner?

The best way to learn piano is to define your goals, keep a positive mindset, understand that learning takes time and effort, and follow a step-by-step approach to build a strong foundation—while keeping the joy of music at the heart of your journey.

How much daily practice time is recommended for beginners and intermediate players?

Focus on practicing efficiently. A focused 30-minute session is far more effective than two unfocused hours. Start with two 20-minute focused blocks—quality and consistency are key!

Once you know your goals, you can adjust your practice to match them. As your repertoire becomes more complex, your practice time will need to adapt accordingly.

What kind of equipment do I need to start?

An acoustic piano is ideal because its touch and responsiveness help develop proper technique and listening skills. But if space or noise is a concern, a high-quality digital piano with weighted keys is a great alternative.

For online coaching, a good microphone helps capture clear sound, but an iPhone or similar device works well for self-recording and progress tracking.

I don’t believe I have musical talent. Can I still make progress?

Everyone has music inside of them. With dedication and the right guidance, you can make progress and witness your gift flourish.

I’m 65 years old. Can I still learn?

Absolutely. Age is not a barrier to learning and progressing at the piano. You can start anytime and make progress to become the best musician you want to be. Consistency and hard work are the key ingredients of success. PianoGenesis is perfect for anyone who is 16 years old and up.

What piano method do you use?
