Student stories

Adult beginners and returning pianists, in their own words.

Small fixes. Big breakthroughs.

“You never just say, just practice more. You give specific practice techniques. Those small little targeted adjustments have helped me break through these stuck areas.”

Heather, 55 · working mom and grandma

A piece I thought impossible

“It made me happy. It made me feel good to be able to master a piece that previously I would have thought impossible to do.”

Jean, 59 · took lessons years ago

It’s never too late

“It doesn’t matter what age you are, you can pick up the piano and you can be good at it.”

At a New Year’s Eve party, he sat down at a friend’s piano and played the music from La La Land. Everyone recognized it.

Jake, 24 · college student working a job

The perfect gift

“For my anniversary, I wanted to surprise my husband by learning one of his favorite love songs. It was a perfect gift.”

How did she keep it a secret? “Well, he’s a little bit hard of hearing.”

Heather, 55 · working mom and grandma

Messages students sent Stacey

A student’s email: I was nervous at first because I’ve never had a good piano lessons experience. Watching my piano abilities grow so fast has been crazy. Stacey’s method and system in combination has fixed my rhythm and I can actually play hands-together pretty well now. I’ve even had the confidence to play for other people. Piano has become something I really enjoy doing.

A student’s text: Just watched my first CoachBack. That was a lot more useful than I expected. You caught my left hand dropping with the wrist and apparently that’s been a habit of mine for months. Had no idea. Thank you for catching that!

A student’s message: Reading sheet music has always been one of my struggles, and now I am able to easily read through these songs. I’ve improved much more than I expected! Now I can pick up a sheet of music and play through it without stopping.

Meet your teacher

Hi, I’m Stacey. I teach adults to actually play the piano.

I’ve taught adult beginners and returning players for over fifteen years. I have a master’s degree from the Manhattan School of Music and I’m a recording artist with over 20 million streams on my music.

Piano Skool isn’t an app. It isn’t a corporation. It’s my piano studio and you’re welcome here, unless you want to play jazz. I can’t help you there.

I use classical fundamentals in technique, reading music, rhythm and practice to get you playing contemporary, film music, pop, rock, classical, whatever you love.

Questions

Before you start

How do I start lessons?

Most people start with a Piano Roadmap Consultation. The consultation has no charge. Talk with Stacey about where you are, what you want to play, and whether Lessons with Stacey are the right fit.

Already know Lessons with Stacey are right for you? Start here.

Are lessons live on Zoom?

No. You learn from short video lessons on your schedule, send a video of your playing, and every week you get a personal video review back (a CoachBack). Your feedback is one-on-one.

How much are lessons?

Lessons with Stacey start with a $650 initial quarter, which is $50 a week. Paid in full is $1,999 for 12 months (about $38 a week), which saves $601.

Pay $1,999 in full, or begin with a $650 initial quarter. Continued quarterly access is optional and renews at $650 per quarter unless canceled before the next billing date.

What’s the difference between the free Kickstart and the $50 Guided Week?

Same 7-day course. The Guided Week adds one personal video review of your playing and an optional call with Stacey. Send your video within 3 weeks of joining. Videos in by Sunday, 11:59 PM Central are reviewed that Monday or Tuesday. All sales final.

Can I start on a later date?

Yes. After you enroll in Lessons with Stacey, you pick your start date, and your first quarter starts that day.

Am I too old, or too much of a beginner?

No. Most of Stacey’s students are in their 30s through 60s, and she has taught young adults as well as people well into their 70s. She has never met an adult who was “not musical.” Becoming musical only requires training.

How much time do I need?

20 to 30 minutes a day. Lessons are short on purpose and recorded, so you learn when it suits you, with no commute.
