About Alexa Madison
Ms. Alexa Madison's private/group piano lessons in Ahwatukee are the perfect way to introduce your child to the world of music. With over 60 students and years of experience, Ms. Alexa has perfected her teaching style to make music lessons engaging and fun for beginners by incorporating games and activities into weekly lessons. Every week students are given a new music theory-related challenge to complete by the end of the day. Set up a trial lesson with Ms. Alexa to get a tour of the piano studio, how we teach music education, and have your child play their first song!
Ms. Alexa took the first step in her musical journey at 7 years old taking piano lessons with a local piano teacher in Chandler, Arizona. During this time she also explored learning other instruments in guitar lessons, violin, and flute.
At a young age, Ms. Alexa had a great passion for music and to teach an instrument from the start and piano was what she was most passionate about! She started teaching a few piano players here and there with one of her first official students being her cousin. Right away she loved teaching!
Alexa's Piano Lessons studio officially opened with their first live lesson for new students starting off with just a few students. Ms. Alexa already loved teaching and came up with new games to incorporate music theory into her lessons.
Alexa's Piano Lessons expanded into a new studio space and transitioned current students from traditional private lessons into group lessons. It was a hit right off the bat! Students loved the experience of being able to work with their peers and play games against them!
Alexa's Piano Lessons moved to our first storefront next to Arrivederci and expanded to hiring additional piano teachers!
Our piano journey has grown to over 70 students and have taught hundreds of students over the years. Many students lasting for years and others continue until they graduate high school.
01
Learning with peers
Our music students say they love their group lessons because they get to learn with their piano friends! This includes playing music theory games against each other, piano performance during their classes, or teaching each other concepts. They get to see the same piano students every lesson so they can build connections with them!
03
Includes private time benefits
With how our music group lessons are laid out, each student gets private time with Ms. Alexa allowing them to learn at their own pace and focus on what they're interested in whether that's popular songs, piano chords, classical music, or jazz piano! No need to worry if your child gets paired with another student who's at a different skill level. Sometimes it's even nice having different leveled students together so they can teach each other!
02
More piano time!
Compared to private lessons, our group lessons are the same monthly cost but students get twice the amount of time with their music teacher. A standard private lesson is 30 minute lessons a week while our group piano classes are 60 minutes a week!
04
Competition
We will always have come kind of music challenge or contest for students to compete in every lesson! Your piano teacher will challenge them to work in groups to practice the most days or challenged to beat their peers in a competition. Ask Ms. Alexa what challenges she's currently doing!

Where is Alexa's Piano Lessons located?Our piano studio is located in Ahwatukee next to Arrivederci starting August 5th, 2024. Our address is 4221 E Chandler Blvd Phoenix AZ 85048.
-
How much do weekly piano lessons cost?60 minute weekly lessons (private piano with lab time) is a flat rate of $140 a month billed on autopay the last day of each month.
-
How does the lab room work with piano classes?Our piano lessons (ages 5+) are set up to have three students come every hour. One student in the private room and the other two in the lab room. The students rotate so everyone sees the teacher privately and spends time in the lab room. Our lab room has a dedicated lab teacher to guide the students in guided practice time, music theory games, worksheets, composition, improvisation, music listening, etc. Students are assigned what to do in the lab room and are invited to work independently or with their lab partner(s).
-
Can I drop off my child during piano classes, or should I stay?You can do either one depending on what you and your child is comfortable with! But for most students I recommend dropping off to give the students more of a private experience and allows students to learn independently as they act different when their parents are around.
-
How much should my child be practicing the piano?We suggest beginning piano students ages 5-7 to practice at least 10 minutes daily. Beginning students aged 8 and older are to practice at least 15 minutes daily. More experienced students should practice at least 20 minutes daily. Of course, if the student is not progressing enough with that amount of practice we would suggest more practice than that. It also depends on the student as well so we're not strict on the number of minutes they are practicing.
-
Do we need to bring our piano books every lesson?Yes! We specifically use the student's books to write customized notes in there. We use the books to keep track of the songs/pieces they've finished (with a sticker). Plus there are written pages in there that we need to check in person.
-
Does a keyboard work for piano lessons?Of course! We recommend to have an 88-key weighted keyboard at home for long-term practice at home allowing the child to play dynamics. For short-term we understand feeling weary about purchasing a higher-end keyboard for a beginner. We offer keyboard rentals at just $20 a month as long as you need it! Your child can also start off with a non-weighted keyboard for the first year before upgrading as we understand the upfront costs of keyboards.
-
Do you teach adults how to play the piano?We now offer piano lessons for adult students (beginning and intermediate) with different plans depending on your schedule whether that's once a week lessons or to schedule on-the-go!
