ADULT Piano Lessons

ADULT piano lessons at Merrell Music Piano Studio in Hoover are TRULY so much fun! Adults in our studio reclaim or experience for the first time the joy of making music!

Taking a break to sit at the piano at home or the studio is a great escape from the daily pressures. You will be happily surprised at how quickly you are able to play familiar songs!

Adult lessons can be group or private. What are lessons like? Remember, this is a time for YOU to be rejuvenated, so...: 
  • ​We can focus on...(drumroll.)...your favorite type of music! (Exposure to lots of genres of music is still good, though!)
  • We play duets in a low-pressure situation, turning even the simplest piece of music into something that sounds fantastic!
  • We don't worry about mistakes! Everyone makes 'em!
  • You are welcome to join in the current incentive themes! (Last year we earned pirate gold doubloons...this year we are solving musical mysteries!)
  • You can opt in or out of almost any of the options listed below! 
​We'd love to meet you!
