What is the going monthly fee for piano lessons?
Whether you’re taking lessons yourself or your child is, the monthly fee is definitely something you’ll be curious about!
Especially if you plan to stick with it for the long term!
When it comes to education and extracurricular activities, it’s important to carefully estimate the costs in advance.

Private piano lessons

“Piano schools” and “piano lessons” are not all under the same conditions.
I think it generally varies in detail depending on factors like the number of lessons, lesson length, the text used, and age.
For children and beginners, would it be something like 40–45 lessons per year, 30 minutes per lesson, and around 4,000 to 7,000 yen?
I think it will also vary depending on the instructor’s career (background).
Experienced piano instructors have repeatedly invested their own funds to pursue various studies and courses.
I keep dedicating my time to learning so I can provide great music to the students who come to my lessons.
I think it’s only natural to pay a monthly fee for the time and what you’re taught.
As you can see, since the conditions differ in each case, it’s best to assume there isn’t really a going market rate.

On-site lesson
Transportation costs and travel time will be added, so you should expect to pay about 1,000 to 3,000 yen more than for a lesson at the teacher’s home.
Lesson at a music school
Since it is not individually operated, it depends on the regulations set by the administrative office.
In addition to the monthly tuition, fees such as materials/day fees, facility fees, and air-conditioning costs are often added.
Most music schools usually have a website, so I recommend checking it in advance.
culture center
It’s almost the same as a music class.
I also recommend checking this on the website.
When choosing a piano school, which is better: a private studio or a music store?
Music is something money can’t buy.
For a child beginner, how about budgeting around 5,000 to 10,000 yen?
Piano lesson fees (the monthly tuition) are, in a sense, paying to acquire musical skills through a piano teacher (though that may not be the most appropriate way to put it).
It’s mostly things that aren’t written in the text—things you won’t understand or can’t get across unless you ask the teacher directly.
- Have it explained to me in simple terms so I can understand what I don’t get.
- fine finger movements
- How to use your body
- How to breathe
- Practice method
These are things you learn that can’t be conveyed through words.
This is something money could never buy, right?
When choosing a piano school, rather than deciding based on the monthly fee, I recommend starting your piano lessons at a school where—after taking a trial lesson and speaking directly with the teacher—you feel confident, “At this school, I can do what I want to do!”
Please keep in mind that by picking up on the teacher’s words and gestures—things that can’t be conveyed through text or found in written materials—you can receive precise advice and enjoy a fulfilling musical life!
