Tell us what you want to play and we match you with one of more than 150 vetted piano teachers, taking your own criteria into account. The first lesson is a free trial lesson with no obligation, and you decide after it whether to carry on.
After the trial you and your teacher agree on a weekly slot. Every lesson runs 45 minutes, one-on-one and live over video, and the hourly rate starts at $29 in a monthly plan. You can move a lesson or switch teachers in the booking tool.
Piano is coordination before it is talent, and coordination answers to work. The first short pieces with both hands together - a melody in the right hand over a few notes in the left - usually come after a few weeks of regular practice. How far you go from there depends on how often you sit down between lessons, which is what the sheet music in your SIRIUS Workspace is for.
No one is too late to begin: a private piano lesson lets you work at the instrument you already have, one-on-one, without waiting for a group to catch up. For a child, a one-on-one lesson keeps all 45 minutes on one pair of hands rather than on a room full of them.
Beginners need no prior experience at all. Anyone can learn to play the piano, and the early lessons are about hand position, posture and reading both clefs rather than repertoire. Our teachers work with complete beginners as often as with advanced players, and every lesson is built around your own goals and the music you want to play.

In Vacaville we found one nonprofit music school with piano on its list and one family-run music store that gives private lessons, though its listing does not mention piano. Fairfield, the nearest larger city, lies 7.9 miles off in a straight line, so a teacher outside town means a trip. A lesson at home takes that trip off the calendar.
Online lessons take the travel out of the week: no drive, no parking, and a slot that stays the same even when the rest of the week does not. Your teacher follows your hands and your posture on camera, stops you where a passage goes wrong, and works from the same sheet music you have open. If a teacher turns out not to fit, you switch in the booking tool.
SIRIUS has over 150 piano teachers, part of more than 400 music teachers across vocals, piano and guitar. Every one of them is vetted and handpicked before a single lesson, carries a SIRIUS certification, and stays in regular training and quality control. We teach every level and every age, from a first lesson to stage-ready.
You are matched rather than assigned: tell us your style, your goals and your schedule, and we find the teacher who fits them. Lessons run live over video on software we developed ourselves for music lessons, so the sound carries the detail an instrument lesson depends on, with nothing to install. In the SIRIUS Workspace your sheet music stays open to you between lessons as well as during them.
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…

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…

A lesson is 45 minutes, and in a monthly plan the hourly rate starts at $29. Your trial lesson is free. A plan covers two, three or four hours a month on a three- or six-month membership; more hours and a longer term bring the hourly rate down. You can pause or adjust your plan at any time. We found no published piano rate in Vacaville: a nonprofit music school in town lists yearly membership fees of $75 and $150 and bills its tuition by semester without printing the amount on its page.
A keyboard is enough to begin on. What matters more than the number of keys is touch sensitivity: the keys have to answer to how hard you press, because that is how piano technique is built. Teachers widely treat 61 touch-sensitive keys as workable for a first year and recommend a full 88 weighted keys once you are a year or two in. Your teacher will look at what you have in the trial lesson.
Most piano teachers start children at around six or seven, once a child knows basic letters and numbers, can follow a simple instruction and can sit and focus for a stretch. Readiness counts for more than the birthday, and the free trial lesson is where you and the teacher find out whether yours is ready. Adults start with us at every age, and nobody is too late.
That depends on what you want to play and on how much you practice between lessons. Piano asks two hands to do different things at once, so the early work is hand position, reading both clefs and keeping a steady pulse. A first piece that uses both hands together tends to arrive after a stretch of regular practice, and the exercises in your Workspace are what carry the days in between.
Yes, and the reason is specific to the piano. A piano lesson is mostly listening, demonstrating and repeating, and none of that needs the same room. Your teacher follows your hand position and your posture on camera and can stop you mid-phrase, and the sheet music you work from stays open in your Workspace between lessons. In Vacaville, a nonprofit music school in the city lists piano among its lessons, and Sacramento sits 30.9 miles away in a straight line.

Vacaville Unified School District runs 19 schools, four of them high schools and two of them middle schools. At Will C. Wood High School, the band page lists five groups: marching band, drumline, symphonic band, wind ensemble and jazz band. The courses run during the school day, and marching band and drumline meet after school. At Vaca Pena Middle School, a concert orchestra takes seventh and eighth graders on violin, viola, cello and bass. Four tax-exempt booster groups registered in Vacaville back instrumental music at local schools, going by their names.
Piano is taught at the Young Artists Conservatory of Music, a nonprofit music school in the city. Its lesson page lists piano among fifteen subjects, for ages four through adult. In its core program, students take a weekly private lesson of thirty or sixty minutes, along with a weekly ensemble and music theory.
