No Problem! We are teaching students of all levels. our lessons are tailored to suit each person’s specific age, ability, and goals. In fact, students who are beginners often have no bad habits to overcome, so your progress can be relatively quick.
We generally recommend weekly lessons, as consistency is key when learning a new skill. Most students take one lesson per week, though for those who struggle with regular practice at home, we may suggest two lessons per week to help build stronger habits and a consistent routine.
We also offer à la carte lessons for adult students with busy schedules or professional musicians preparing for special events such as auditions and competitions. These flexible sessions can be scheduled as needed to focus on specific pieces or goals. Please contact us for more information and rates.

Yes! Having an instrument at home is essential for practice, no matter the lesson type. The good news is, there are options to suit any budget, space, and lifestyle. During your free consultation at Dr. Chen Piano Studio, we’ll provide recommendations to help you find the best option for your needs!
For musical growth, consistent practice is much more important than long hours! We suggest 15 minutes a day, five times a week, for young beginners (ages 5-7). As children get older and manage more activities, 8-10-year-olds will benefit from around 30 minutes daily.
At Dr. Chen Piano Studio, we believe practice should be encouraging. We help students stay motivated by having them track their practice time and offering fun incentives. Our goal is to ensure practice remains a rewarding and enjoyable part of their musical journey, fostering progress through support and positive encouragement.
