Weekly Private Lessons
WHAT WILL I LEARN?Healthy piano technique is taught from the first lesson, and students are given many choices in the music repertoire they play, along with pieces assigned from their core method books. Like classical music? Great! Like making up your own songs? Creativity is embraced here. I give you lots of choices of music to play. If your technical ability at the piano is strong, your options are wide open.

Do you teach music theory?Yes! Music theory is the grammar of music, and along with keyboard skills (such as scales, chords, and arpeggios), I insist that students use a combination of different materials to make sure they become fluent in the language of music. These may include SproutBeat® worksheets, analog music theory games, and Boom Card decks assigned to your student's account. We sometimes use iPad apps if a student really enjoys them. Here's a student playing Flashnote Derby:
Do you accept transfer students?Yes, and I have a winning track record of taking transfer students and helping them achieve success. If you are looking to make a change, then please reach out to me via my contact form.

Do you offer studio recitals?Of course! Twice per year, in November and May. Students perform the songs they love the most, and many also perform in piano ensembles--from duets and trios to works for 2 pianos, 8 hands. Recitals are not terrifying here at all. They're actually fun, and people look forward to the next recital.
Tuition Cost
Tuition is payable 11 or 12 months of the year, depending on the student's start date of July or August. This indicates a commitment to study for the entire academic year.
For new students who begin in the summer, they will have 38 lessons during the school year. For those who begin in August, or for current students who are resuming piano after a few weeks off, they will have 35 lessons during the school year. |
