Welcome! ~~ We appreciate and learn great piano music in duet and solo form! Learn a musical skill that will bring hours of musical enjoyment and joy to your families now and to come!
Notice: Not teaching at this time. Thank you for stopping by.
Offering a broad range of piano music in my teaching from the classics to ragtime, marches, blues, rock and roll, and all-time favorites in folk, popular, and Broadway tunes I use a classically based method series. These include a lesson book, a performance book, a theory & note speller and I add supplemental theory and composition studies as well as various genres of supplemental pieces and duets. The child, teen, or adult beginner and intermediate child, teen, or adult student is welcome.
Policies ~~ Parents or adult students read and sign my "Studio Policies" document as a kind of contractual agreement. It refers to sick days, make-up days, tuition, and my various policies. I'm very fair. I will email you the "Studio Policies" document before you decide to meet me and go over it.
Piano and keyboards ~~ Students will need an acoustic piano or an electronic 88 key keyboard with weighted and full-sized keys to start. Serious students will need an acoustic piano eventually. I can help you to find a good quality used piano. The student will also need a CD player for duet practice at home and some publishers offer iPad/iPhone apps for accompaniment pieces. Personal CD players can be bought online and at various outlets. Some students in some method series will only use an iPhone or iPad for duet practice at home. Many pieces can be accessed at Youtube for reminders on how the new, assigned piece sounds and the rhythm elements.
Tuition ~~ Tuition will be redetermined at a later date. It is due at the beginning of every month for the lessons of that month.
