Private Lessons for Children and Teenagers

Piano lessons for children and teenagers are an academic year commitment, September through May with a weekly private 40, 50, or 60 minute lesson. Lessons consist of technique work, repertoire, sight-reading, harmonizing, improvising, composing, music theory, and music history. My goal is to provide a comprehensive music education. Classical repertoire is the foundation of lessons, but I also use a wide variety of other music to expand the students' horizons (jazz, blues, ragtime, video game music, folk, sacred, world, pop, etc.)

Studio classes will be held three times a year in addition to the weekly lesson.

Summer Lessons: In order to maintain a place in the studio, a minimum of four summer lessons are required. Summer session is 7-8 weeks long. Scheduling is very flexible during the summer.

Private Lessons for Adults

Piano lessons for Adults are for an academic year, with optional summer lessons.  Lessons can be 40, 50, or 60 minutes long and are scheduled either weekly or bi-monthly.

Adults come to lessons with a variety of goals. We work together to set goals and methods to reach them. Some adults are interested in learning sight-reading skills, others want to learn to chord and harmonize, others want to learn to play the blues, some are interested in expanding their classical repertoire. The possibilities are endless!
