The best way to find out if we’re a good fit is to contact me to set up a free Meet and Greet or a phone consultation. During this brief meeting, I will go over the specifics of what makes my studio unique as well as answer any questions you may have.
Here is a quick overview of the tenants of my studio:
This is a brief overview of my studio set up. Feel free to call about a Meet and Greet or a phone consultation to discuss lessons more deeply and answer any questions you may have.
Here is a quick overview of the tenants of my studio:
- I offer both private and class lessons with approximately 36 weekly appointments from September through May. Both weekly attendance and weekly practice is expected.
- Tuition reserves your weekly time slot and studio membership. It also covers the cost of lesson planning and repertoire selection, incentive programs and game materials, studio membership, piano tuning, recital venues, and much more. Tuition for the entire year is $900 payable on a month schedule spread over 9 months (September through May). An annual fee of $25 is assessed to cover software and technology fees (due in September).
- Tuition will be billed and due at the beginning of the month. Tuition is payable online or by check (in person only).
- Makeup lessons are not offered; however, alternative solutions may be negotiated depending on the circumstance, for example, Skype or FaceTime lesson, pre-recorded lesson, group lesson, lesson time swap, etc.
- An acoustic piano is highly recommended, but a full-sized/ 88 weighted key digital piano will be acceptable. A 61 key keyboard is not acceptable. Acoustic pianos must be tuned and good condition. I can give you recommendations on a quality instrument if you have questions. Students should have regular access to their instrument.
- Based upon the child’s age and level, I choose an appropriate study method that will advance the student through the basics of pianist study. Tuition does not include the cost of music and materials.
- Students will have performance opportunities through group classes and recitals throughout the year. They will have the option to participate in the National Guild of Piano Teachers’ annual Piano Guild held in the spring.
- Parental involvement is crucial in the advancement and encouragement of the student. A parent doesn’t have to know how to play the piano; however, support and encouragement is so important in the learning process.
