Private Piano Lessons

Silver Music Studios has been providing private piano lessons for over twenty years to kids and adults of all ages and skill levels. Regardless of your age, your playing style, your experience level, and your goals, we can pair you with a teacher who is just right for you.

The piano is a popular choice for new musicians due to its enormous range and versatility. Unlike most other instruments, the piano can play both melody and accompaniment at the same time. Piano students learn both the treble and bass clefs, which are by far the two most popular clefs for written western music. Most electronic keyboards can be easily plugged into a computer for recording, and synthesizers can create an infinite variety of sounds. Plus, you can sing along!

Piano lessons are available in our Havertown (PA) studio location or you can take piano lessons online.

Piano lessons for kids

Most of us begin learning music as children, when enthusiasm is high but technique is not. Silver Music Studios has teachers who can tap into and maintain the young student’s motivation, while gradually building the discipline and technique needed for success in the long run.

Piano lessons for adult beginners

The adult beginning music student has a different set of challenges. This student usually has plenty of patience and discipline and more familiarity with musical styles, but doesn’t have as much free time to practice and requires targeted piano lessons to build skills quickly.

Piano lessons for experienced players

Music is a lifelong pursuit, and we are ready to help even when you’re not a beginner anymore. A number of our students are performing musicians with ten or more years of experience. We’ll be with you when it is time to get into advanced music theory and techniques.

Silver Music Studios was founded to provide quality music instruction for everyone: beginners… experienced musicians… every age… every level… every style. We customize each piano lesson plan to each student. Our scheduling is flexible and we believe that piano lessons should be affordable for everyone.

I have been taking piano lessons for four years with Silver Music Studios. Studying the piano has made it easier to play the baritone in school. It has bee a great experience for me and a joy for my parents to hear me play and see me perform at the recitals.

Scott and his staff are simply AMAZING. Scott is my teacher and he is so patient, knowledgeable, and determined to get you to a higher playing level. He teaches, explains the theory behind the teaching and is your personal pep squad. I've only had four lessons with him but I'm now so inspired and excited to learn guitar and I blame him (mostly). I was learning from online instruction and although I learned allot, I felt that I was still missing something. I found it in Scott's teachings. He shows you what you are doing incorrect (not in a scarcastic way mind you), then gives you a more simpler way which you would probably have to search the internet or YouTube before finding it. While waiting for my lesson, I can hear the other instructors with their students and they give the same high level of understanding, knowledge, and encouragement to their students that Scott does with me. The outcome that you'll get from learning at Silver Music Studios is well worth the fee and then some. Even if you don't live in the area, I strongly recommend giving Silver Music Studios at least one try and you'll see what I mean. Although I'm learning guitar late in life, I'm finally fulfilling a dream and I feel that with Scott's continued teachings and my commitment to learn and practice, I will soon be at a level to where I can truly enjoy my instrument. Thank you Scott and the Staff at Silver Music School for renewing my faith in others as well as faith in myself.

Love this music studio! Teachers are doing an awesome job! We use for piano and guitar. I’m very happy with the flexibility of the appointments and progress with my kids. Convenient location on West Chester Pike. I can drop them off for lessons and run to Acme to pick up a few things.

I’ve been taking guitar and voice lessons from Scot for three years now, and I’m not being dramatic when I say my experience with Scot has been one of the most amazing opportunities of my life. Scot was born to be a teacher. Even as a complete beginner, he treated me with respect and patience. As my skills developed, he pushed me to take chances and introduced me to other like-minded musicians, so that I’d have a network of other people with whom to play and sing. He’s encouraging, good at explaining even challenging concepts, he listens to me, and has worked to help me meet every goal I set for myself. You couldn’t pick a better music school, or teacher.

Great family like atmosphere and knowledgeable teachers. Made many of my musical connections through this school and have been given plenty of incredible opportunities to express myself and perform.
