Learning to play piano should be enjoyable, energetic and encouraging.
Lessons are customized to each student's age and learning style.
Weekly private lessons are offered in 60 minute sessions. 45 minute lessons are available for younger students if desired. Students are expected to arrive on time for lessons with their music in hand. Students are encouraged to practice daily on a well maintained piano or keyboard. Participating in the MTAC programs (CM tests, recitals, festivals) is strongly encouraged but not required.
Lesson cancellations require a 24 hour notice.
Parents can contact me by email or phone.
Each lesson is structured to include the following:
* Technique: scales, exercises
*Use of Method Books: for sight reading and the basics
* Classical repertoire: from various historical periods with the goal to polish and sometimes perform in student recitals and music events
*Theory: including the use of workbooks
*Improvisation and Composition
