• ages 4 and 1/2 (or once the child is both interested in piano and able to stay in one spot for at least 5 minutes at a time) and up
• adults too!

​2. Do you teach online or in person?

• online. I had planned to return to in person lessons but the online format has ended up being more effective. My students - even the 4-5 year olds - are learning almost twice as much material per lesson these days.

3. What online platforms do you use?

• facetime, google meets, zoom

5. How does your billing work?

• All lesson payments for the month are collected by the first lesson of each month. This reserves the student's weekly time for lessons. A makeup lesson credit is added to a student's account any time they cancel a lesson. The student schedules their makeup lesson when they're ready. Anytime I cancel, I refund that day's lesson fees fully.

6. Do you teach voice lessons?

• I do voice work as an add-on to piano or guitar lessons, but do not teach stand alone voice lessons. For voice add-ons, I teach (based on the age of the student) good posture, breath support, appropriate vocal warm-ups and how to sing while playing your instrument (piano or guitar).

7. Do you teach parent/child lessons?

• After many experiments over the years :) I've landed on teaching kids and parents separately rather than at the same time. I offer a discount off my regular rates for any parent who would like to enroll in lessons with their kiddo. Parents can opt for weekly, every-other-week, or monthly lessons to focus on learning what their kids are learning plus duets they can play with their kids. This is an excellent option for families who love music and want to foster a healthy, enjoyable, long-term relationship with piano or guitar.

8. What should I expect from a first lesson?

• First lessons are a little different than the rest. It's our first meeting :) so we'll spend a bit of time just getting to know each other. We’ll play a bit, talk about your favorite kinds of music and musical goals, and look at curriculum options. I'll teach you a little something new to play, help you choose your books, and talk through practice and policy information. Should give you enough information to decide if we're a good fit for one another and, if we are, give us a great foundation for working together!
