It’s Never Too Late: Adult Piano Lessons in Bloomington, IN

Nov 10

Many adults tell us the same thing: "I always wish I'd kept playing piano." Whether you quit as a kid or never had the chance to start, adult piano lessons are one of the most rewarding things you can do for yourself, and Bloomington is a great place to start.

Why adults make great piano students

You know why you're there. Adults choose lessons because they want them, which makes practice more focused.
You learn fast. Adults understand concepts like rhythm and chord structure quickly once they're explained.
You pick the music. Classical, pop, jazz, worship or film music, your lessons can be built around the songs you love.

What adult lessons look like at The Davis Academy of Music

Every lesson is private and one-on-one with a coach, so you never have to keep up with a class. Many adults follow our level-based Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) curriculum to see steady progress, while others focus on playing favorite songs or reading lead sheets. You'll get a free online account to manage your schedule and see your coach's notes.

Common worries (and the truth)

"I'm too old." We teach students of all ages, including retirees.
"I don't have time to practice." Even 15 focused minutes a day adds up. Your coach will help you build a realistic routine.
"I don't own a piano." Our rent-to-own program includes 61- and 88-key keyboards starting at $29/month.

Cost

Private lessons are $180–$340 per month, depending on lesson length. Our downtown studio at 336 S Walnut St is open Monday–Wednesday 3–8 PM and Thursday–Friday 3–7 PM.

Craig Davis

MUSIC for MILLIONS The Craig Michael Davis Ensemble is New York based new-music-ensemble dedicated to commissioning new works and educating audiences to the advancement of Contemporary Classical Music (music of our time). The potency of this ensemble comes from the uniqueness and diversity of each of its members who travel the world advancing the latest in classical music. Since 2009, The Craig Michael Davis Ensemble has curated music from David Lang, Louis Andriessen, Terry Riley, Kyle Gann, Lloyd Rodgers, and Frederic Rzewski. As an outreach extension, we have partnered with schools in East New York to provide music to at-risk and low-income students. ‘J.H.S 292’ and the ‘Good Shepherd After School Program’ are two of these schools that we are already partnering with that serve hundreds of students that lack music education and performance enrichment opportunities. Therefore, the objective of the Craig Michael Davis Ensemble is to help 250 at risk students to value and appreciate Contemporary Classical Music (music written by living composers) through ‘hands-on’ and ‘live concert going’ experiences. The Craig Michael Davis Ensemble accomplishes this, by organizing music events; renting concert halls; partnering with musicians, sound technicians, and stage crews; and bringing low income or at risk children to these educational events at no cost!
