A Brief Q&A
-
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!
