Many people who are considering enrolling in piano lessons in Toronto ask us if having an instrument at home is necessary. Initially, you can begin without an instrument but after the first few lessons, having access to a piano or keyboard is important. In order to properly learn and develop skills as a pianist, consistent practice is essential. Some of our students rent an instrument, some own and some will practice on instruments in other locations, such as grandparents’ houses, friends’ houses or churches.
