Who am I?

I’m Luca Ridolfo and I started Studio MusicalMente in 2018. I am passionate about music since I was a child. But I wasn’t a Musical Wonder Kids. I had a lot of fun making music and a drive to learn more about it. My music teachers mentored and encouraged me always to continue.

And for sure, I continued so far that I went on to complete a music degree from the Royal Conservatory in Den Haag. And even after that, I will never stop learning.

I firmly believe that everyone can improve their musicality and that this shouldn’t be restricted only to children. Therefore I decided to open a music school for adults in Den Haag.

I feel that learning positive hobbies with positive role models is one of the most beneficial things for growing new skills and learning more about yourself.

General Piano Lesson Questions

What are the benefits of learning to play the piano?

Learning to play the piano develops musicality, technique, and provides a creative experience to enrich your life. Piano playing helps improve coordination, concentration, and can be a relaxing and enjoyable hobby for people of all ages. It’s a versatile instrument that allows you to play various music styles including classical, pop, jazz, and rock.

Our piano lessons take place at our centrally located studio in Den Haag (Prinsegracht 27, 5 min walk from Grote Markt), making it easily accessible for people from all areas of the city  (easily reachable with trams 2, 3, 4, or Bus 22). We offer a comfortable learning environment with quality instruments for optimal learning experiences.

We offer various lesson packages tailored to different needs and age groups. Because each students has his needs, we discuss pricing after having assessed what are those and the goals in our introductory call. 

Not at all! When you’re just starting out, owning a piano isn’t necessary. You can begin learning the basics during your lessons without one. However, if you want to progress more consistently, practicing at home between lessons is key. For that, we recommend at least having a keyboard. We offer keyboard rentals, so you can easily get one through us without the upfront commitment of buying! This way, you can focus on learning while having the necessary tools to improve.

At Studio MusicalMente, we offer flexible lesson packages to match your goals and make it easy for you to learn to play the piano. Unlike others, we avoid every other week lessons because they slow progress and lead to frustration.

Piano Lessons for Children - FAQs

At what age can children start piano lessons?

The ideal age to begin piano lessons is between 6 and 9 years old, when children are highly receptive to learning new skills. Our piano lessons for kids make it fun to learn to play the piano, so that learning to play the piano becomes a game. 

Unlike other piano teachers and piano schools in The Hague, we offer piano lessons that last one hour. This allows children to engage in various activities during our lessons, providing a far more thorough music education than simply sitting in front of a music book for 20 to 30 minutes.

On our piano lessons in Studio MusicalMente, we combine different teaching methods. We incorporate games, creative exercises, and engaging activities to keep children excited about their musical journey. To maintain their motivation, we give them prizes each time they achieve something, promoting good behaviour during the classes.

At Studio MusicalMente, we believe children learn best when they want to play the piano, not because they’re forced. By making lessons fun, we inspire them to practise at home naturally. The result? Faster progress and a lasting love for music, so they’re far less likely to quit after a few months

Yes, our lessons place a strong emphasis on music reading and comprehension. Children will gradually build proficiency in reading sheet music, allowing them to explore a wide range of songs and genres.

Piano Lessons for Adults - FAQs

Is it too late to start learning piano as an adult?

It’s never too late to learn piano. While children may learn more quickly, adults have their own advantages in learning music, including better discipline, clearer goals, and stronger motivation. Many adults successfully learn to play piano and find it to be a rewarding hobby. In Studio MusicalMente, our goal is to make people enjoying playing the piano first, not making them concert pianists.

None! As our method for adults is proprietary, the Studio MusicalMente method adapts to the student, rather than vice versa. In this way, we make every learning step simple to achieve, even within a piano lesson. 

Progress varies based on practice consistency, natural aptitude, and previous musical experience. Generally, our experience with adults suggests that within the first three months, one can learn to read and play a simple song with both hands playing different parts.

At the beginning, it’s possible to learn to play the piano just by coming to our piano lessons. That it’s one of the thing that makes it attractive to our piano students. Still, consistency is the key: regular, focused practice yields better results than occasional long practice sessions.

In your first piano lessons, you will learn the basics of playing the piano, such as where the notes are on the keyboard, how long we must keep the key pressed, and how to start playing simple songs. 

Practical Information

What are your piano lesson rates?

Because each person has different needs, goals and budgets, we offer different packages based on the need of each person. We will discuss all of this in your introductory call to see if we can help you.

Yes, we offer trial lessons to help you determine if our teaching approach is right for you. Trial lessons allow you to meet the teacher, experience our teaching methods, and discuss your musical goals before committing to regular lessons.

You don’t need any materials or books. We will provide everything for you whenever you’re going to start with our piano lessons.

Come with an open mind and any questions you may have about learning piano. No prior musical knowledge is required. Your teacher will guide you through everything you need to know. If you have specific musical interests or goals, sharing these with your teacher will help them tailor lessons to your preferences.

The timeline varies greatly depending on your goals, practice consistency, and natural aptitude. With regular practice, most students can play simple pieces within a few months. Developing intermediate skills typically takes 1-2 years of consistent study, while advanced proficiency may require several years of dedicated practice.
