What age can my child start piano lessons in Mountain View?
Opus 1 starts private piano lessons at age 5 at our Mountain View Grant Campus. Children under that age are welcome to join Music for Young Children, our group program starting at age 3, which builds the rhythm, pitch, and ear-training foundation that makes private piano lessons successful when the student is ready. A short trial lesson is the easiest way to confirm a child is developmentally prepared.
Do you offer piano lessons for adults in Mountain View?
Yes — Opus 1 teaches piano to adults of every level at our Mountain View Grant Campus, from complete beginners to returning players picking the piano back up. Adult students set their own goals, choose the styles they care about, and schedule weekly private lessons around work. An adult trial lesson runs 45 minutes for $35 or 60 minutes for $45, so you can meet a teacher before committing — and there's no annual contract.
How much do piano lessons cost in Mountain View?
Trial piano lessons at Opus 1 start at $25 for 30 minutes (reserved for children under 8), $35 for 45 minutes, or $45 for 60 minutes. Monthly membership for one weekly private lesson ranges from $265 to $595 depending on lesson length and teacher level (Standard, Senior, or Master). Tuition is the same flat amount each month, including months with five lessons.
Do you offer ABRSM, Certificate of Merit, or exam preparation for piano?
Yes — Opus 1 piano teachers regularly prepare students for ABRSM, Certificate of Merit (MTAC), and RCM exams, with students passing with Merit or Distinction every month.
Do I need to own a piano before starting lessons?
A working keyboard or piano at home is needed within the first month of enrollment — a 61-key keyboard with weighted touch is the practical minimum for beginners, with families upgrading to an acoustic upright or full-size digital piano as students advance. Your teacher can recommend specific models after the trial lesson.
