To model the problem, we can use the equation:
\[
15p = 540
\]
where \( p \) represents the cost of each piano lesson, and 15 is the number of lessons Brendan purchased, resulting in a total cost of $540.
Now, let's solve for \( p \):
\[
p = \frac{540}{15}
\]
Calculating the right side:
\[
p = 36
\]
Thus, the cost of each piano lesson is \(\$36\).
\[
15p = 540
\]
