Is my child too young to start piano?

I recommend that your child be at least 5 years of age before starting.

Do you provide the materials?

I require that all students have copies of the material so they can practice in their own home. I use a range of books, worksheets, and individual pieces. All books are available on Amazon. If a student is working on a specific piece, I will send a printable PDF.

What levels of piano do you teach?

I teach all levels however I specialize in working with beginners.

Are you a strict teacher?

I expect diligent practice and I expect mistakes. How else do we learn? I want my students to feel comfortable in their learning experience, not scared.

What does a typical lesson look like?

All lessons follow the same format: check in, warm up, song/piece work and critique, and ear training. Of course this is just a general format, each lesson will be different.

Do students have opportunities to perform?

Yes! Students are given two opportunities to perform each year during our Winter and Spring Recitals. All family and friends are welcome to watch!
