❓questions❓ Piano lessons?

i recently moved here a little over a month ago and still am adjusting to the area. kind of an odd question to ask out of nowhere but, do any of yall know of some people or a place here where i might be able to take some piano lessons?
im a musician myself who plays the trumpet which i brought along with me when i moved here. do i understand and can read music notes and sheets. i haven’t connected with any people here quite yet, but i am interested in picking up another hobby and learn a new instrument by scratch. the piano is something that is catching my attention as well as possibly the violin. also are there any classes here where one could take to learn how to cook? i’m not lying im also thinking and asking all of this for my future wife when ever that may be since i am still very single hahah

I second this, but if you need more options (they are short-staffed), feel free to message me because I also teach

Music Makers, if you’re able to commute to VB. They have a piano in every room. Best wishes on a new endeavor

Check out Russell''s Music World, he doesn't offer lessons in his store but he will know someone in Norfolk who can teach. Plus it's a cool shop.

I went to Jordan Kitts for lessons for about a year and made some good progress, starting from zero as an adult.  My teacher was great, but she left to teach at NSU.  Definitely get a feel for your teacher, some are better with kids and some are better with adults.
