My piano lessons have Fall and Spring semesters, with Summer lessons also possible.

Fall 2024 Semester is September 9, 2024 - January 17, 2025. Spring 2025 Semester is January 21 - June 20.

Semester Tuition is $1660. A semester includes 16 private lessons, 3 group performance classes, and 1 recital.

Books and sheet music are chosen according to a student’s interests and needs, and paid for by the student as necessary.

With a day notice, a student’s absence from one lesson is eligible for a make-up. Only one make-up lesson is allowed per semester.

Should a lesson be cancelled due to the teacher’s absence, a make-up will be offered.

Prior to the first lesson, an initial meeting is scheduled. If the prospective student is under 18, one or both parents attend the meeting with the student.

Private lessons are about an hour. For students under 18, parents are always welcome to attend.

Group performance classes are about helping my students create musical community and develop a camaraderie that will inspire their daily practice. Students are invited to play works-in-progress for their peers. These performances aid in calming nerves, and naturally motivate both the performer and their listening peers. The performer might speak to what inspires them about their piece, or how they are overcoming difficulties in the piece. This fosters a deeper understanding of their music and an ability to share that. Group performance classes are attended only by students and teacher.

Recital is a celebration of the students’ musical growth that semester. Each student might play one or more pieces. Families are encouraged to attend, and a potluck follows the recital. It’s a lot of fun!
