Tell us your goals and we pair you with a SIRIUS-vetted piano teacher who fits them, so you can start playing online at a time that fits your week.
After the free trial lesson you agree on times directly with your teacher, and you can move a session whenever work, school or family gets in the way.
The SIRIUS Workspace holds your sheet music, the exercises your teacher assigns and the recordings of your sessions, so the days between lessons stay productive.
Do you want to learn piano and find a piano teacher in Los Angeles? 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.
Our teachers help you build technique that lasts instead of habits you later have to unlearn. The SIRIUS platform was developed for online instrumental teaching, so sound quality stays clear enough to hear touch and pedaling, and you can join from anywhere in Los Angeles without installing extra software.

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!

David explained music theory to me in such a clear, vivid way. I’ve been at it for 4 months now and I love it…
Robert

I always used to shy away from sheet music and music theory. Now, learning the piano is actually fun for me…
Christiane

I actually just wanted to learn a few campfire songs on the guitar, but I’ve been at it for over half a year now. Highly recommended!

Private study with an independent teacher here is billed at $40 to $90 per hour. That band describes what private teachers across the metro area charge for weekly one-on-one work, and it is the figure most families use as a reference point. SIRIUS sets its own rates, and every student begins with a free trial lesson, with no long contract to sign afterward.
They are not required, but they help. Closed-back headphones stop your teacher's sound from leaving your speakers and returning through your microphone, which is what creates echo and clipped words. They also give you a much clearer read on your own dynamics than the small speakers under a keybed can. Any closed-back pair you already own is a reasonable place to start.
For most people, yes. The lesson runs on a plain web address, so there is nothing to install and no separate program to keep updated. What matters more is placement and sound: set the machine where the camera sees your hands and the keys, use a stable connection, and wear headphones. Those three choices usually matter more than the age of the computer.
Sooner than most people expect, because a good teacher will meet the song halfway. Bring the title in the first weeks and it can be trimmed to what your hands can currently do, with the full version kept as the target. A simple pop or film theme can be playable within a month or two; something dense takes longer and gets rebuilt in stages.
Yes. Teachers are matched by hand, so you can be paired with someone who works in chord charts, lead sheets, and film themes rather than a graded classical path. One Culver City scoring stage has been recording film music since 1939, and plenty of students here want that sound. Technique still gets taught, but it is taught through the music you brought.

Los Angeles, CA sits at the center of an industry that records and performs music every working day, and the reasons people learn piano here run wide. One student wants a Chopin waltz off the page; another wants to sketch chords under a rough cut, or work out a song on repeat in the car. SIRIUS Music School teaches piano one-on-one online, so the plan is built around the person at the keys.
Distances across the basin are real, and so are the schedules: call times move and sessions run long. A lesson at your own instrument keeps the drive out of the equation and makes a weekly slot easier to hold. It also widens the choice of teacher, since a piano teacher in Los Angeles whose background is film harmony, jazz voicings, or classical technique can be the right fit from anywhere. That is what makes piano lessons in Los Angeles practical for weeks that never look the same twice.
The first sessions are about orientation: finding your way around the keys without hunting, holding a pulse that does not speed up when the music gets easier, and getting each hand comfortable alone before the two are asked to cooperate. Reading starts alongside it, a few notes at a time, so the page becomes a map instead of a code. Within a couple of months many adults are playing short two-hand pieces start to finish, and children often arrive there while still treating it as a game. What changes after that is control rather than speed: shaping a phrase, letting one line sing while the other stays out of the way.
Most digital instruments carry small speakers under the keybed, firing down toward the floor or back toward a wall. The sound reaching your ears has bounced off something and thinned out doing it, so what you hear is not what the instrument is producing. Players compensate without noticing: when quiet passages sound weak from where you sit, the hands push harder than the music needs, and the habit sets in. Closed-back headphones give you an honest picture of your own dynamics and voicing, down to the difference between a chord where the top note leads and one where it is buried. They cost little, which makes them a large return on a small outlay. They also settle the household question: instead of playing at a volume the room can live with, and rewriting your touch in the process, you play at the level the music asks for and nobody else hears it. The trade-off deserves naming: an acoustic piano fills a room, and if every hour happens in headphones, that sound surprises you the first time you meet it, so alternating is worth it. For an online lesson there is one more reason: headphones keep your teacher's sound from being picked up again by your microphone, which is what turns a lesson into a scramble of echo and half-finished sentences. If there is no instrument at home yet, a keyboard can be rented through SIRIUS.
Private study with an independent teacher here is billed at $40 to $90 per hour. Lessons with SIRIUS open with a free trial, and nothing after it commits you to a long contract. Matching is done by hand from more than 150 SIRIUS-vetted music teachers, around your level and the repertoire you actually want to play. The setup asks little: the lesson runs on a plain web address, so there is nothing to download, and the audio is built to carry an instrument rather than conversation. You also get a personal online workspace holding sheet music, lesson notes, and recordings, which gives the week between lessons something to work from.
The Los Angeles Philharmonic, founded in 1919 by William Andrews Clark, Jr., has played winter seasons in Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall since 2003, and the Hollywood Bowl has been the summer home since 1922. For 2026/27 it brings in Esa-Pekka Salonen as Creative Director, a newly created post, after Gustavo Dudamel left for the New York Philharmonic. Its organ, 6,134 pipes designed by Gehry with builder Manuel J. Rosales, was completed in 2004. YOLA, its Youth Orchestra Los Angeles program, has given free instruments and instruction since 2007, and the Colburn School downtown is finishing a Gehry-designed expansion whose Kohl Hall holds up to 1,000 from fall 2027. USC's Thornton School of Music runs a Keyboard Studies department with piano degrees through the doctorate, and the Barbra Streisand Scoring Stage in Culver City has scored pictures since 1939.
Children are usually ready once they can hold attention for a short stretch and follow one instruction at a time, which for many arrives in the kindergarten years. Teenagers often come with one song and stay for the technique it demands, adults starting from nothing underestimate what a season will do, and returners who stopped at fourteen find the reading comes back faster than the hands do.
What would you play first, if the keyboard were on tonight and nobody else could hear it? Book a free trial lesson and find out how much changes once you can hear what your hands are doing.
