Performance Classes
Students who take piano lessons and other music lessons are invited to participate in our performance classes which are designed to offer extra performance opportunities in a more relaxed environment. These classes are “Recitals in-training,” a preparation for excellence in piano recitals! Performance classes take place either in our studio on our small performance stage or sometimes out in the community at local libraries or nursing homes.
Recitals
Recitals are held outside Rhapsody Music Studio to accommodate larger audiences. These recitals are typically for students who have been taking lessons for a while or students who have previously participated in our performance classes and who have good habits of regular practice at home. These recitals help students build confidence, enhance their learning in their piano lessons, expose themselves to a wide variety of new music and musical performers.

About our Private Lessons
At Rhapsody Music Studio, we offer 30-45 minute weekly private lessons year-round, emphasizing music literacy. Students develop a strong foundation in reading and understanding music, which is crucial for their growth as musicians. Regular performances and recitals play a vital role in their development, helping to build confidence and stage presence while providing goals to work toward throughout the year. Regular performances play a key role in motivating students to work hard at their private lessons and to reach their full musical potential. All of these elements combined ensure a comprehensive musical education that nurtures both technical skills and a deep appreciation for music. Private lessons give students a unique opportunity to dive deeply into music one on one with a teacher who specializes in both music and teaching.

FAQ About Piano Lessons
Do I Need a Piano or Keyboard to Begin Piano Lessons?
Having an piano or keyboard before beginning private piano lessons is strongly encouraged. Although an acoustic piano is ideal even for beginning piano students, a keyboard with weighted keys will be fine for the first few years of lessons.
What is the Cost for Piano Lessons?
The cost of private piano lessons can vary widely depending on the particular teacher or studio. At our studio, each teacher sets their own rate which is currently between the range of $25-$35 dollars per half hour lesson.
How Long is a Typical Piano Lesson?
For young beginners and most other students, weekly 30 minute piano lessons with regular practice at home will provide most students with what they need to be quite successful. For some more advanced students 45 minute lessons are sometimes recommended.
What is a Good Age to start Piano Lessons?
Kindergarten is a great time to start children on the piano. If your child could be happy sitting with you for 20-30 minutes reading books or coloring, then they can attend well enough to begin piano lessons. Girls tend to be ready a little sooner than boys, but it all depends on your child. If your child does not yet know how to read, you should plan time to sit with them 5 minutes a day at the piano and help them practice their music. Once they begin to read on their own and grasp the concepts, they should be able to practice on their own with minimal guidance.
