Bloomington is wide: from Hyland and Bush Lake on the west side to the Mall of America on the east is a long way across town on a school night. Choose lessons at your own piano in Bloomington or with Soroush at our Edina studio. In-home and studio lessons cost the same, so you can explore the setting that suits the student and your schedule. Available times depend on the teacher and your location.
In-home piano lessons across all of Bloomington
Our teachers travel to homes throughout Bloomington, including Normandale Hills, Poplar Bridge, the Hyland and Bush Lake areas, Oxboro, Penn Lake and South Loop. We serve every Bloomington zip code, with lesson times subject to teacher availability.
In-home lessons give students a regular time to learn on the instrument they use for practice. Your teacher comes to you, saving a weekly drive across Bloomington. We coordinate lesson times around teacher availability and your household’s schedule.
There is no travel fee. An in-home lesson anywhere in Bloomington costs exactly what the same lesson costs at the studio. We would rather a teacher reached your child than have the drive priced into a reason not to start.
Same price as the studio. Nothing added for travel.Or come to our nearby Edina studio
Our studio is at 7300 Gallagher Drive in Edina, just north of I-494. Students from throughout Bloomington are welcome for lessons with Soroush Naji. Travel time varies by starting address and traffic.
The studio suits a student who concentrates better away from home, and coming here makes piano a distinct part of the week rather than one more thing that happens in the house. Parking is free, directly outside the door.
Studio lessons are with Soroush, while our other teachers offer in-home lessons. If you would like to change settings, contact us in advance so we can discuss a suitable teacher and available time.
Edina studio · 7300 Gallagher DrivePiano lessons for kids, teens and adults in Bloomington
The lesson is built around the student in front of the teacher, and that changes a great deal between three and fifty. The structure is the same for everyone: technique, reading, rhythm and a clear direction. The route to it is not, because one student needs to see it, another needs to hear it twice and another understands the moment it becomes a game.
Young beginners, ages 3 to 7
Readiness varies from child to child. For ages three and four, we choose teachers experienced with younger beginners. Playful activities introduce rhythm, sounds and keyboard patterns, leading toward simple songs at the child’s pace. The free trial helps you meet the teacher and explore whether now is a good time to begin.
Elementary and middle school
Students build reading, rhythm and technique through music they enjoy, with clear practice goals and the option to take part in our annual recital. Weekly lesson times are arranged with your family. Please discuss school breaks and other changes in advance; adjustments depend on teacher availability and our cancellation policy.
High school students
Teenagers usually come to us for one of three reasons: to keep piano going through a heavy course load, to prepare for an audition or a competition, or to pick it back up after stopping years ago. An in-home lesson makes the first of those far easier in a year full of evening commitments, and lesson length flexes with the season.
Adults
Some adults start from nothing in their thirties or forties. Some already play and want to get better, or to pick it back up after thirty years away. Some inherited a piano and would like to do it justice. A teacher who comes to the house on a weekday evening suits most of them. No recital requirement and no minimum commitment.
What an in-home lesson in Bloomington looks like
Most of what a family needs for in-home lessons is already in the house. This is the whole list.
Your own piano, or a keyboard
A piano or a suitable keyboard is enough to start: at least 61 full-size, touch-sensitive keys at first, and 88 full-size, fully weighted keys for ongoing learning. We will tell you honestly when a keyboard has been outgrown, and not before. Nobody needs to buy a piano to find out whether a child likes it.
A bench at the right height
Your teacher helps you adjust the seating height and distance from the keys so the student can sit comfortably and reach the keyboard. Suitable seating supports relaxed movement as technique develops.
A quiet half hour
Choose a space where the student and teacher can hear one another, with the television off and interruptions kept manageable. Your teacher can suggest practical adjustments for your home and the student’s needs.
The instrument you practice on
The teacher hears your piano every week: how it sounds, whether it is drifting out of tune and what your child is really practicing on. A practice routine gets built around the actual room and the actual instrument, not an instrument the student only sees once a week.
Start with a conversation and a free trial
Contact Soroush to discuss lessons at your Bloomington home or with him at our Edina studio. He aims to respond within 24 hours. Share the student’s age, interests, preferred setting and availability so he can help you find a suitable teacher and time.
The free 30-minute trial lets you meet and try learning together without cost or obligation. The school pays the teacher in full. Afterward, Soroush follows up privately to hear about your experience.
A teacher who gets to know you
Regular lessons give your teacher time to understand your interests, recognize challenges and build on progress. For younger students, teachers explain what to practice and how parents can help, without needing a musical background.
Soroush stays involved after the match. A shared group chat keeps families, their teacher and Soroush connected, and he checks in every three to six months. You can reach out at any time, including to explore another trial lesson with a suitable teacher, subject to availability.
Our annual recital celebrates students’ and teachers’ work with music, smiles, snacks and no participation or admission fees. Performing is encouraged, never required.

Brett Tennyson Why families choose Naji Piano School
From first lessons to recitals, here is what our families and students say.
Soroush has been teaching my 3 kids ages 5, 8 and 9 for almost 2 years. He is an excellent teacher. His enthusiasm & love for music is apparent & in turn, has given the kiddos an incredible introduction to the joy of music.
I couldn’t believe how they could break difficult concepts into easy to understand pieces. I highly recommend Naji piano school to adults at any level wanting to learn piano.
Naji Piano School has not only taught my son how to play from a very technical standpoint, it has taught him to love it. He looks forward to class every week, especially the annual recital. I’ve never seen him more proud.
Soroush is thinking ahead to what will keep our son engaged in the piano in years to come, after he’s no longer taking lessons. If you’re looking for a piano teacher for a new or continuing student, definitely meet Soroush!!
I came to him after knowing how to play piano for about 30 years but I had a specific goal to play a particular piece. Soroush guided me every step of the way and just a few months later I was playing my goal piece, Clair de Lune.
Soroush is an amazing and patient teacher. Always very positive and encouraging with my daughter.

Questions from Bloomington families
Do you cover all of Bloomington for in-home lessons?
Yes, the whole city and every zip code in it, including Normandale Hills, Poplar Bridge, the Hyland and Bush Lake areas, Oxboro, Penn Lake and South Loop. If you are just over the line in a neighboring city, ask anyway and we will tell you honestly whether a teacher can get to you at a sensible time.
How far is your studio from Bloomington?
The studio is at 7300 Gallagher Drive in Edina, near 76th and France, just north of I-494. Travel time and the best route depend on your starting address and traffic. Check directions before your visit.
Is there an extra charge for coming to my house?
No. In-home and studio lessons are the same price anywhere in Bloomington: $50 for 30 minutes, $70 for 45 and $90 for an hour.
What do we need at home for an in-home lesson?
A piano or a suitable keyboard, a bench, and a room without a television on. For ongoing learning we recommend a digital piano with 88 full-size, fully weighted keys, and a keyboard with at least 61 full-size, touch-sensitive keys is fine for the early stages. Send us the model name or a photo of what you already have and we will help you assess it.
Can lessons work around the Bloomington Public Schools calendar?
We arrange a regular weekly lesson time with your family’s schedule in mind. Please let us know in advance about school breaks, conferences, early-release days or other conflicts so we can discuss available options. Rescheduling depends on teacher availability and follows our cancellation and makeup policy.
Can we switch between in-home and studio lessons?
Yes, with some notice. Tell your teacher before you want the change rather than on the day: studio lessons are with Soroush, and studio time is limited at some hours. Give us a little warning and we will do our best to make it work.
What if I need to cancel a lesson?
We understand that plans change. With at least 24 hours’ notice, we can offer a makeup lesson, subject to availability, or a credit toward the following month’s invoice. Lessons canceled with less notice are normally charged, since that time is reserved for you and can be difficult to fill. Your teacher may choose to waive the charge for a first-time cancellation or an unexpected emergency. We support their discretion while respecting their time. Please let us know as soon as you can.
Does my child have to play in the recital?
No. Participation is encouraged, never required. Our annual recital celebrates progress with music, snacks and no participation or admission fees for students or their families. Teachers help those who wish to perform choose music and prepare at a comfortable pace.
What ages and skill levels do you teach?
Ages three and up, with no upper age limit: young beginners, teenagers, adults learning for the first time and players coming back after years away. We will help you find a teacher suited to the student’s experience, interests and goals.
How does the free trial lesson work?
Your free 30-minute trial lets you meet your teacher, try making music and discuss your goals. The school pays the teacher in full; there is no cost or obligation for you. Soroush follows up privately afterward, and we can arrange another trial lesson with a different teacher to explore a better fit.
How does payment work?
You will receive one invoice at the beginning of each month for that month’s scheduled lessons, due before the first lesson of the month. We usually send payment requests through Zelle or Venmo, and other options are available, including an emailed invoice you can pay by card.
Do you also teach in Edina?
Yes. Soroush teaches at our Edina studio, and our other teachers offer in-home lessons throughout Edina, subject to availability. Explore our Edina piano lesson options.
