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 Nashville? 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 Nashville 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.
Perfect to get started.

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!

Julianna is fantastic! The professional voice training has completely transformed my stage presence…

Private teaching in this town runs $40 to $90 per hour, which is the going market rate among independent local instructors rather than a SIRIUS figure. Where any one teacher sits inside that band tracks their background and how they run a session. Online instruction is generally quoted below in-home teaching. With SIRIUS you take a free trial lesson first, so you can judge the fit before any money is involved.
Used, usually. A digital's resale value lives in its key action and the maker's name; both survive a few years intact. The onboard sound library and extra features do not. Inspect before you pay: every key played on its own for even response, the sustain pedal jack tested by plugging and unplugging, the key bed checked for scratches or play. New makes sense mainly if a warranty matters more to you than the savings.
Sooner than you would guess, if simple accompaniment is the goal rather than solo repertoire. Three or four chords in a steady pattern carry a great deal of the country, folk and pop songbook, and many learners manage a full song, voice and hands together, within a few months of weekly work. The hard part is not the chords, it is splitting your attention. Practicing the two separately, then joining them, shortens it.
Yes. Playing by ear is mostly listening and testing, and that travels over a video call without loss: your teacher plays something, you go looking for it, and they hear at once whether you found it. What matters is audio that carries pitch and dynamics honestly, which is what the SIRIUS lesson room is built for. You can ask your teacher to work this way alongside reading rather than instead of it.
Yes, and adults in their forties tend to bring advantages a nine-year-old does not: you chose this, you can concentrate for a whole session, and you can hear when something is wrong. What you may have less of is unclaimed time, so a realistic weekly plan matters more than ambition. Adult beginners often start from music they already love and pick up the technical groundwork through it rather than before it.

Nashville, TN treats music as a working trade rather than only as entertainment. The Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce counts more than 190 recording studios in the region. The Ryman Auditorium has seated audiences since it opened in 1892 as the Union Gospel Tabernacle. For a piano student that matters: the instrument sits inside country, gospel, jazz and classical repertoire alike, and here all four are played for a living.
The keyboard runs through every part of the city's music. RCA Studio B, built in 1957 and toured today through the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, is where the Nashville Sound took shape around Chet Atkins, Elvis Presley and Dolly Parton. The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum honors the players who were actually on those records, the Nashville A-Team among them, and the Nashville Musicians Association — AFM Local 257 — has represented working players since 1902. Training runs deep too: Vanderbilt's Blair School of Music caps enrollment at roughly 245 students with a 4:1 student-to-faculty ratio, and its Blair Academy teaches children, youth and adults.
Piano asks you to handle two staves at once from early on — melody in the right hand, bass and harmony in the left — and much of the first year goes into getting the hands to agree. Around that sit chord shapes and inversions, major and minor scales, and fingerings that make a passage playable instead of a fight. You count time out loud before you trust yourself to feel it, and learn to move the sustain pedal with your ear rather than your foot. Lead-sheet playing — a chord symbol above a melody line, the way much of this city's music gets written down — is a skill a teacher can build with you directly.
With over 3,000 working musicians in the region, instruments change hands here constantly, and a secondhand digital is often the sensible first purchase. The sticker anxiety is worse than the arithmetic. What you are really paying for is the action — the weighted hammer-style key mechanism — and a maker with a service reputation; those two hold value on resale. Onboard voice banks, rhythm accompaniments and novelty features do not: they age fast and nobody pays extra for them used. So inspect before paying. Play every key from bottom to top, listening for one that speaks louder, softer or later than its neighbors. Plug and unplug the sustain pedal, then hold a chord and work it; a worn jack is a common fault. Run a hand down the key bed for scratches, and press the case corners for wobble. One more piece of math: buying slightly better than you need now usually costs less over three years than buying at your exact level and upgrading twice. An acoustic upright is the opposite trade — cheap to acquire, then expensive to move up a staircase and to tune twice a year. And if you would rather own nothing yet, a keyboard can be rented through SIRIUS while you find out whether the habit sticks.
Lessons run in your browser with nothing to install; you open a link and you are in the room. The audio is built for music rather than speech, so a soft left-hand chord and a hard one arrive as two different things rather than one flattened one. Everything from the session collects in a personal online workspace: sheet music, your teacher's notes, recordings you can return to when a passage will not sit. The match is made by hand rather than by a search filter, and your teacher comes from more than 150 SIRIUS-vetted music teachers — if you want a piano teacher in Nashville who lives in gospel voicings, or one trained on the classical repertoire, say so before the first lesson. You begin with a free trial lesson, and there is no long contract to unwind if your life changes.
Learning online and playing locally fit together. The Nashville Symphony performs at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, whose 1,844-seat Laura Turner Concert Hall opened in September 2006 and houses a Schoenstein concert organ of 47 voices and 3,568 pipes. Leonard Slatkin, previously the orchestra's music advisor, takes over as music director with the 2026/27 season. The Ryman seats 2,362 and was home to the Grand Ole Opry from 1943 to 1974. Between writers' rounds, church services, school programs and open mics, there is somewhere to be heard at most levels.
Adults who stopped at twelve and regretted it, adults who never touched a keyboard, children ready to start reading, experienced players repairing one weakness — all begin the same way, with an honest look at where you actually are. Children generally do better on short, frequent practice than one heroic weekend session; adults tend to move fastest when they bring in music they already love and let technique arrive through it.
There is a version of this where the piano stays a plan you keep meaning to act on and next August looks just like this one, and a version where you sit down with a teacher once and find out what an hour at the keys feels like. The free trial lesson starts the second one.
