At the Paris Music Institute, we fully understand adults who would like to learn to play the piano but feel anxious about getting started.
Piano enthusiasts who haven’t had any musical training or previous experience often doubt their ability to play. They combine this fear with all kinds of unfounded beliefs and questions, such as “Am I too old to start?”, “I don’t think I have any musical talent” or “What if I’m really bad and make a fool of myself?”
The first thing we would like to tell you is: Do not worry!
You don’t need to worry, for the following reasons:
1. It doesn’t matter how old you are: there’s no age limit on starting to play the piano for pleasure. You don’t intend to change direction, leave your job and become a concert pianist, do you?
2. Once again, exceptional talent isn’t necessary to enjoy playing the piano. It’s certainly useful for those wishing to pursue a career as a pianist, but it isn’t even necessary when playing for pleasure.
3. It’s understandable to be afraid that you will not be any good. That’s normal for any adult, but it is impossible to look ridiculous at the Paris Music Institute.
We have a genuine passion for helping adults get started, and we can assure you that we will never judge you. We will never think negatively of you. On the contrary, we will always support you and guide you in a way that ensures you’re at ease.

If you’re still not convinced, why not take a Anxiety-free introductory piano lesson for piano beginners?
As it lasts 30 minutes, you will have plenty of time to discover the piano, meet your wonderful teacher and realise that you are entirely capable of doing what your teacher asks of you.
During this first lesson, your teacher will put you at ease and show you the essential basics. You’ll discover the piano keys and what they mean, learn a few musical notes and may even play one or two short melodies with one hand. Doesn’t that sound impossible?
After this first encounter with the piano, you will have a better idea of what it involves, and your fears should disappear.
There’s no mystery to playing the piano. It’s a skill like any other that must be studied and improved over time, so the only way to succeed is to take the first step and get started.
We’re also delighted to tell you that we work exclusively with fantastic piano teachers who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and have extensive experience of teaching adults. They’ve met hundreds of adults like you and will therefore understand you perfectly.
Our wonderful piano teachers have been selected not only for their exceptional skills as pianists and educators, but also for their warm and friendly personalities.
