How Many Times a Week Should You Have Piano Lessons?

If you’ve ever wondered how often piano lessons should be scheduled, you’re not alone! “How many times a week should you have piano lessons?” is one of the most common questions we hear from parents and adult students alike. The truth is, the best lesson frequency depends on your goals, experience, and the type of piano program you’re in.

The Most Common Piano Lesson Schedule
For most students, one lesson per week is the standard — and for good reason. A consistent weekly lesson allows time for:

• Learning new skills in each session
• Practicing and reinforcing those skills at home
• Developing steady progress without feeling rushed or overwhelmed

At Evergreen Music School, our students attend once a week, but our lesson structure gives them more progress per minute than traditional lessons — thanks to our innovative Piano Lab format.

When More Than Once a Week Helps
Students preparing for performances, exams, or rapid advancement may benefit from two lessons per week or additional practice sessions. Younger beginners or highly motivated teens sometimes enjoy this boost to help solidify skills faster.
However, for most families balancing school, sports, and other activities, one efficient weekly lesson—paired with smart practice tools—delivers fantastic results.

Why Our Piano Lab Feels Like More Than One Lesson of Progress
Our Adventurers Accelerated Piano Lab combines the best of private instruction with the fun and flexibility of small-group learning. Students move at their own pace using modern technology, personalized guidance, and self-paced curriculum tools that keep them engaged.
In our lab, students often accomplish the same progress as multiple private lessons per week, all within a single session — making it ideal for busy families who want results without adding more to the calendar.

Private Lessons: When Personalized Focus Matters
For students who thrive with one-on-one attention, our Private Lessons offer direct coaching and tailored lesson plans. These are perfect for:

• Teens preparing for auditions or advanced repertoire
• Adult beginners seeking relaxed, individualized progress
• Students needing extra support with technique or music theory

We’ll help you find the perfect fit — whether that’s our Piano Lab or Private Lessons — based on your goals and learning style.

Our Recommendation
At Evergreen Music School, we recommend:

• 1 lesson per week for most students
• 2 per week for accelerated or performance-focused learners
• Ongoing at-home support with our guided practice tools and online resources

This balanced schedule keeps motivation high and results strong — without overwhelming your week.
