We work with more than 150 SIRIUS-vetted music teachers and match you with the one who suits your goals, whether you are pressing your first keys or returning to an instrument you left behind years ago. Classical repertoire, pop songs, jazz voicings or the styles you grew up hearing: you decide what your lessons are about.

SIRIUS gives you one-on-one piano lessons shaped around you, and everything from finding your teacher to payment runs through one platform. Adding an extra session before a recital or moving a lesson to a quieter week takes a few clicks in the booking tool. If you do not own an instrument yet, you can rent a keyboard through us and start right away.
In your lessons you learn to read both clefs, understand how chords are built, keep a steady pulse and use the sustain pedal so it clarifies rather than blurs your playing. Music theory arrives when it explains something under your hands, never as homework for its own sake.
Alongside your lessons you get the SIRIUS Workspace, a digital home for everything you are working on. Sheet music, fingering notes and the exercises your teacher assigns stay in one place, lessons can be summarized automatically so you can look up what you covered, and recordings of your sessions let you watch your own hands and check posture, tempo and dynamics between lessons.
You can also join monthly group sessions with other players, hear how they approach a piece and get feedback beyond your one-on-one lessons. For many students that mix of private coaching and community is what keeps daily practice going.
More hours = a better price per hour. Every plan: 45-min one-on-one lessons with vetted teachers.

Many music students all over the world already trust SIRIUS.
My daughter was able to start singing lessons the very next day, and the sessions with Leonie are fantastic!

Private teachers in the area list $40 to $90 per hour for one-on-one instruction. That range describes the local market for independent instructors and is not a SIRIUS rate. Ask any teacher you approach to confirm their current rate directly. With SIRIUS, the first lesson is a free trial and nothing binds you to a long contract, so you can test the fit before deciding.
The Piano Technicians Guild states that most manufacturers recommend three to four tunings during an instrument's first year and at least two per year after that. Yamaha asks for at least one tuning a year, plus a second visit during the first year of ownership. A piano that has just been delivered or moved to a new room settles for a while, so it wants attention sooner rather than on a fixed annual calendar.
When an instrument has drifted far below A440, a technician cannot simply tune it and be done. The Piano Technicians Guild explains that tightening each string alters the tension on strings already set, so a substantial pitch change cannot end in an accurate tuning in one step. The technician makes a rough corrective pass to bring average tension up, then a second fine pass. Two passes of labor, one larger invoice.
Yes. A digital instrument sidesteps tuning entirely: no seasonal drift, no technician visit, no pitch raise. For piano study, look for full-size keys and a weighted action that responds to how hard you strike it, since that is what builds control. If you do not own anything yet, a keyboard can be rented through SIRIUS before your first lesson.
Month one is mostly orientation. You work on sitting position and hand shape, learn to locate notes on the keyboard without staring at your fingers, and start reading a little notation attached to actual pieces rather than drills. Counting out loud begins early. Most students finish the month with one or two very short pieces they can play through and a clear idea of what daily practice looks like.

Deciding to study piano is the easy part. Harder is working out how lessons fit a real week, what the instrument at home needs, and who sits on the other side of the keyboard. SIRIUS Music School is an online one-on-one music school, and this page is for students in Aurora on the eastern edge of the Denver metro.
Aurora covers a lot of ground, so a weekly in-person lesson can mean a real drive depending on where in the city you live; online study removes that from the arrangement. The lesson happens at your own instrument, in the room where the practicing will happen, at a time you picked. For a household in Aurora, CO juggling school and shift schedules, that often decides whether the habit survives the school year. It also widens the pool: piano lessons in Aurora are not limited to whoever teaches nearby.
A first year is less mysterious from inside than out. Early lessons deal with how you sit, how the hand holds its shape, and how to find your way around the keyboard without hunting. Notation arrives gradually, tied to pieces rather than taught as a system, and counting gets drilled out loud long before it feels natural. Short pieces are learned one hand at a time, then put together. Somewhere in there come the first scales, the first chord shapes, and the first piece the student chose themselves. Timelines vary widely, so be skeptical of any month-by-month promise. What a good piano teacher in Aurora tells you instead is what your own next three weeks look like.
An acoustic piano goes out of tune because it is a wooden structure holding steel strings under enormous tension, and wood moves with humidity and temperature. The Piano Technicians Guild puts the mechanism plainly: in humid periods the soundboard swells and stretches the strings sharp, and in dry periods it flattens, lowering tension so the pitch drops. Yamaha adds that strings stretch on their own under load, so an instrument drifts even if nobody touches it. This is not wear from playing.
On frequency the published guidance is consistent. The Guild states that most manufacturers recommend three to four tunings in the first year and at least two per year afterward; Yamaha calls for at least one tuning a year, and two in the first year after purchase. A newly delivered or newly moved instrument wants more attention early on. A pitch raise is what a technician performs when an instrument has drifted far below standard pitch. Because tightening each string changes the tension on strings already set, the Guild notes it is impossible to make a substantial change in pitch and finish with an accurate tuning in one step. The technician therefore makes a rough corrective pass first and a fine tuning pass after, two passes of labor, which is why that invoice runs larger. Costs vary by market and by technician, and we give no figure here rather than quote one we cannot source.
For a learner the stake is simple. A440 is the international pitch standard, so an instrument sitting well below it trains the ear against the pitch everything else uses. A digital instrument removes this whole category of upkeep. If you would rather not sort that out before your first lesson, a keyboard can be rented through SIRIUS.
Each student gets a personal online workspace where sheet music, lesson notes and recordings live together between sessions, so nothing rests on memory. Lessons open in a browser tab with no software to add to your machine, carried over audio built to handle musical sound rather than conversation. Private teachers in the area list $40 to $90 per hour, the going market range for independent local instructors, not a SIRIUS rate. A free trial lesson comes first, and nothing binds you to a long contract. Teachers are hand-matched rather than picked off a directory: SIRIUS draws on more than 150 SIRIUS-vetted music teachers and pairs each student with one by hand.
Aurora has its own organizations, several near East Colfax. The Aurora Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1978 and lists Jeremy D. Cuebas as its Paul D. Wren Artistic Director Chair and Principal Conductor; its 2026/2027 season is on sale, with venues yet to be announced. The Aurora Fox Arts Center occupies a 1946 building, damaged by fire in 1981 and reopened as an arts center in March 1985; it runs a proscenium house plus a black box studio. Vintage Theatre on Dayton Street included musicals in its 2025-26 season. The Aurora Cultural Arts District, run by the City of Aurora with the Creative Alliance of Downtown Aurora, expanded in 2026 to take in Stanley Marketplace.
Children are generally ready once they can hold attention for a short stretch and reach the keys comfortably, often around kindergarten age. Teenagers usually arrive with something specific in mind. Adult beginners are common, and returning after twenty years away is a normal case.
If you have been circling the idea, a trial lesson shows you whether the format suits you and whether the teacher does. Book one and see.
