What to Expect in Your First Music Lesson at Farnoosh Music Academy

Starting music lessons is a big and exciting step—especially for children and first-time learners. At Farnoosh Music Academy in Aurora, we believe that the first lesson sets the tone for a positive, engaging, and inspiring journey.

Whether your child is learning piano, violin, or saxophone, here’s what you can expect in your very first session with us.

1. A Warm Welcome and Comfortable Environment

We know first impressions matter. From the moment you arrive, our friendly staff and instructors greet you with enthusiasm and care. Our studio features six large, well-lit rooms with state-of-the-art instruments, all designed to provide an optimal learning space for young musicians.

Explore our teaching space and philosophy to see why parents choose us for their child's music education.

2. Getting to Know the Student

Before any instrument is played, we take the time to understand your child’s personality, musical interests, and learning style. This helps us personalize the experience and build trust.

We’ll ask:

• Have they taken lessons before?

• Are they excited or nervous?

• What kind of music do they enjoy?

This short conversation sets the foundation for a strong student-teacher connection.

3. Introducing the Instrument

Depending on the instrument chosen—whether it's piano, violin, or woodwinds—the first lesson includes:

• Proper posture and technique

• How to produce the first sound

• Basic music reading (if age-appropriate)

• Fun, hands-on practice

It’s all about discovery, not perfection.

4. Explaining the Lesson Structure and Homework

We’ll walk parents through how weekly lessons are structured and what kind of practice is expected at home. Don’t worry—we keep it simple and age-appropriate. We also offer guidance on how parents can support at home without pressure.

Want to help your child stay motivated long term? Our RCM Theory Classes and group options open the door to structured progression.

5. Ending with Encouragement and a Plan

Every lesson ends on a positive note. Students leave feeling empowered, and parents receive a recap along with next steps. The goal is to make sure your child is excited to come back—and they usually are!
