Submitted by Robu12345 t3_zurocq in baltimore

Hi, i want to start taking Piano lessons and hoping to get some recommendations for classes for adults at beginner level.

I checked Peabody website but couldn’t get much out of it. Please help.

I know 2 people that give lessons: my coworker who’s classically trained and my old neighbor that’s a teacher at BSA. DM me and I’ll give you their info to contact them

Peabodys out for winter break I'm sure you can enroll for the spring. My 6 year old son has been taking lessons since the fall.

Stay away from big box lessons (guitar center, etc.) The quality of instruction is typically poor and the fees structure of what they charge teachers is predatory and almost exploitation and it definitely degrades the experience.

Go private. It's built for long term relationships and learning.

There's a co-op studio in Cockeysville of private teachers that don't compete with one another for students but also doesn't have that fee structure, so you're getting your money's worth and so is that teacher. Find something like that.

Previous comments are correct. Do not go to a shop. They are ripping off the teachers and many are dishonest. I say this as a teacher that has worked in shops. Find someone who has a degree, and plays the music you want to be able to play. If they try to teach you a song, ditch them. You don’t want to learn how to play songs. You want to be able to play YOUR music on the piano. Good luck! There are a ton of killing pianists in the area.

My father is a Peabody grad and gives piano lessons from his home studio in Glen Burnie. Message me if interested
