General Information
All lessons are held one-on-one online or in person, where the student gets my full personal attention and real-time feedback. Depending on the student’s age, level, and ability, lessons range from 30 to 60 minutes in duration. The standard rates are from $35 to $50, with special packages and pre-purchased lessons available at a discount.
For more information on lessons and rate, visit the Book Online section.
Attendance and Payment
Regular attendance is encouraged to achieve results, and students are required to commit to at least one lesson per week. Should you need to cancel a scheduled lesson, 24h notice is required, otherwise a full fee will be applied.
Changing the time and date of a lesson is possible subject to availability.
During Lessons
Students are expected to be ready for their lessons on time and with all materials and music. For children, parents, siblings or other accompanying adults may quietly observe while the student practices. To respect other students’ time slots, discussion on student progress is welcome during the lesson – but not before or afterward.
Materials
To get the most out of your lessons, you will need:
-
a piano or a keyboard
-
a tablet, phone, or computer with a working microphone and webcam
-
a notebook and a pencil
-
a stable internet connection
At the first lesson, I will provide a list of books and other materials that the student will need. These can be purchased from me, or through other avenues such as www.amazon.com.
Practice Expectations
Daily practice is vital to progress, so students are encouraged to practice at home between lessons. The recommended amount of practice time will be discussed with the student at their lesson. Parents are encouraged to be supportive and active participants during student practice.
