LESSONS

I offer three different options for lessons: in-home lessons, in-studio, or online. I recommend 40 minute lessons for most beginning and intermediate students. For very young beginners and more advanced students, I can discuss options for 30 and 60 minute lessons.

PIANO

These lessons are tailored to each student based on their age, skill level, and musical interests. Students are usually started in one of the common course books that I provide with additional classical music and contemporary music pieces provided. Theory training and games to reinforce concepts are used at every lesson. I will provide all materials.

voice

For beginning students only. These lessons are tailored to each student based on their age and musical interests. Phrasing, breathing, song interpretation, and music theory are taught. Recordings of vocal exercises and accompaniments will be provided. 

PERFORMANCE CLASSES AND RECITALs

I usually hold two Performance Party Classes per year - often in October and March. The students prepare will prepare 1-2 pieces to perform. The audience consists of current students only. This is an excellent opportunity for students to perform without the pressure of a Recital atmosphere. After the performance, we have games and party food!

RECITALS are usually held in December and May. They are open to family members and friends. Recital rehearsals are held the week before the recital so that the students can practice in the recital location and get a feel for the piano there.
