Your questions, answered
All lessons are private with one teacher and one student at a time. Each school has multiple sound-proof rooms where each student takes a weekly lesson with their teacher.
One major advantage of going to a music school instead of in-home lessons is that students have access to a group of teachers who have varying teaching styles which focus on a broad set levels, genres, and techniques. This allows students to learn the teacher that best fits their interests, potential, and needs. And as students progress, they can start learning from another instructor at the school if that's the best path for their growth. There is also a seasoned General Manager working with all of the teachers and families to help each student get the most out of their experience.
Students need to be 4 years old to start class in person and 7 years old to start classes online. The teacher will determine readiness during the free orientation.
We think it’s bananas that piano has been taught the same way for hundreds of years. Just as a child learns to speak before reading or writing, the Payam Method introduces piano in a natural, intuitive way. Our approach makes learning more accessible to all levels of learners by drawing from the psychology of language learning. For example, we start with our alphanumeric notation — using the familiar language of ABCs and 123s, not the foreign language of sheet music — to help students make meaningful progress and build confidence from day one.

Yes, of course! While we start our beginner level students with our patented alphanumeric notation, sheet music is introduced within the first few levels. We teach the beginner techniques in our notation, and then the student learns how to map it and read it in sheet music. This process continues back and forth until the student reaches the mid intermediate category, where at this point they are fully only reading sheet music. The transition has been seamless for thousands of students.
