My niece is almost old enough for lesson. Since we never cook, how much does it cost to build one in the kitchen?
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

But anyway, actually those places that have pipe organ will gladly let you in to practice them since those organs need to be played often if not they will go out of tune.
Reminds me of the first few years of me learning piano. My lessons were free by a kind teacher. Then everyday, I would go to different neighbour's house to ask if I could use their piano to practise.
Until mom bought me a piano for S$400 that i used for many years even until gr 8. I only bought a \"new\" (2nd lah) piano when I got married and was already working.

I have observed a negative correlation between the quality of my students' piano and progress. Those who have the most 'decent' pianos slack the most. Scarcity seems to bring out the best of most human.

Piano for $400?? Sure or not? Forgot to add one more zero or my eyes trick me…?

Third or fourth hand in 1975, why not? -
im also interested in this thread. my DD will be turning 6 and I think she is old enough to study music. she wants to learn violin but i want her to study piano first. maybe because i think learning piano is easier? i really dont know too. hahaha.
im now currently googling for schools where they offer affordable lessons. might try out first for a few months. -

I remembered going to TJC for 3 months last time and every day I would go there extra early so I can practice some pieces I downloaded off Internet on one of the pianos in the lecture halls. When I started lessons in a music school slightly later, I saved up pocket money so I could rent a room to practice once every few days to practice. There was a time I simply stopped talking to my parents because they were so upset that I wanted to pursue music (they thought it was a very shameful profession for a male). So I kind of envy youngsters nowadays, so young already have the best instruments and teachers. -
Other than having a passion for it, perhaps the tough journey of getting to practise your music also makes you treasure it even more.
When things are too easy to get, ppl tend to take it for granted…
