Each lesson is customized and tailored to your individual musical goals and pace. We learn the language of music with colorful teaching aids, playful games, and fun pieces to play. We train the fingers to develop coordination and good technique. In short, we are creating a solid musical foundation. Each lesson will cover the following: reading skill development, listening skills, technique development, written theory homework, and pieces in a variety of styles.
Piano lessons are scheduled in 30, 45, or 60 minute increments. As students advance, the teacher may recommend longer lesson times. Music theory tutoring is offered in 30 or 60 minute increments, with the option of private or group sessions.
