Hear What Our Clients Have to Say

"My husband and I are so happy that we found Music Lessons Arizona. Apart from Ms. Sherin’s highly impressive resume, we were drawn to her because she has good rapport with my kids. I have two daughters in Ms. Sherin’s class and both of them have been really loving her style of teaching. My older one likes how Ms. Sherin plays duet with them, it makes playing the piano so much fun. She is an introvert and often gets intimated playing in front of other people but she is getting more and more accustomed to performing since they do it every week in class. My younger one has also commented that she likes how Ms. Sherin has a very positive approach when she makes mistakes. She never feels that she’s in trouble or that she’s forced to learn everything at once. I can say that although we’re just a few months in but I have seen a tremendous improvement in how they both play. All in all, our experience has been absolutely wonderful. It was a blessing in disguise that our old piano teacher was moving locations that led us to discover Music Lessons Arizona. Couldn’t be happier!"

- Mary Y.

"Best music teacher ever! My kids love Ms. Sherin! Not only she knows her field, she is passionate, knows how to treat kids, and on top of things. If you want your kids to learn music the right way, she is the one! Thank you Ms. Sherin for being an awesome teacher!"

Do you work with complete beginners? My child has never played piano before and can’t read sheet music.

Absolutely! We specialize in working with complete beginners. Our approach is tailored to nurture your child’s curiosity for music and create a positive, engaging learning environment where they can thrive alongside their peers, regardless of prior experience.


My child has some previous piano experience. Do you have classes for them?

Yes, we have classes for children with experience.  We invite you to schedule a class observation with your child. If it feels like a good fit for you, we offer a free consultation to learn more about you and your child’s specific situation, provide an assessment and devise a plan for you moving forward.

 

Do you need a piano or keyboard to enroll in the class?

While having access to a piano or keyboard is beneficial for practice, it’s not required to start classes. We have options available to help our students gain access to instruments for their development. We understand the importance of getting started, and we’re happy to discuss various options with you during a free consultation after observing a class with your child.

 

How frequent are the classes?

We offer both 30-minute and 60-minute class options, meeting once per week. Depending on your child’s experience and skill level, we also provide the flexibility for students to attend multiple times per week for those who seek additional support and faster progress. After observing a class, we’ll discuss which option aligns best with your child’s needs and goals.



What happens when I bring my child to observe a class at your studio?

When you arrive at our studio, you’ll be warmly welcomed by one of our instructors and escorted to the piano class. Your child will have the opportunity to observe our teaching approach, see how students collaborate, and even participate in the class if appropriate. Following the session, if you feel we’re the right fit, we invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss further.



How much do your classes cost?

Our tuition is based on a monthly payment structure with the flexibility to cancel anytime. We offer various options tailored to students’ needs, skill levels, and preferred class formats. We encourage you to schedule a class observation, and if it feels like a good fit, we’ll discuss a lesson program during a complimentary consultation.



Do you accept Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) payments?

Absolutely! We are a verified vendor of ESA. If you require assistance with any aspect of utilizing ESA for your child’s tuition, our team is here to guide you through the process seamlessly.



Do you offer private lessons?

While our class format is highly engaging for beginners, we do offer private lessons for students showing a strong commitment and interest in piano practice, particularly those aiming for performances or competitions.



How much time should my child spend practicing per week?

For beginners, we recommend dedicating at least 15 minutes per day to practice. This consistent effort helps reinforce learning and progress.



I’m not experienced in music. Do you offer support for parents to assist their child?

Absolutely! We provide detailed progress trackers, frequent communication, and are always available to address any questions or concerns. Additionally, we offer tutoring support and encourage parents to join their child during classes to support their learning journey and foster a strong parent-child bond.



Do you offer recitals?

Yes, we host in-class recitals twice a year where family and friends are invited to celebrate and watch our students showcase their progress and achievements.



What teaching methods do you use?

Our instructors are highly trained pianists with extensive experience in traditional classical music performance and teaching. We’ve curated the best resources and developed our own curriculum to help students achieve specific outcomes.
