Piano and guitar instruction for beginners and those looking to improve

FAQ’s

What ages do you teach?

I offer lessons for ages 4 to adult, and it’s never too late to start!

What instruments do you teach?

I teach piano and guitar.

Do I have to commit to a certain number of lessons?

You are welcome to try out the first lesson to see how it goes before committing any further. After that, I just ask for a month to month commitment, and you can cancel anytime.

Which size and brand should I buy for the instrument I want to learn?

The “right” instrument to buy can vary depending on your budget, space in your house, genre you’d like to learn, and the age of the student learning. I would be happy to have a conversation with you to discuss your personal needs and guide you to the best choice for you. It is helpful to have your instrument before starting lessons, but not required. You can still learn a lot in the first couple lessons without having something at home yet to practice on.

Will there be performance opportunities?

Absolutely! I have a recital at the end of every spring semester where all my students get the opportunity to perform. This is strongly encouraged but not required.

Do I need lesson books?

For piano students, yes. I will send you a link to which books to purchase prior to starting lessons. Beginner books are usually $10-20 and will last about a year. For guitar students, I will provide you with papers, and you’ll just need a folder or binder to keep them in.

What if I need to miss a lesson?

If you need to miss for any reason, I just ask for 24 hours’ notice, and then we can find a time to reschedule.

Should I stay or drop my child off?

You are welcome to do either. I find some children do better when their parents do not stay, and others do better when their parents listen and know how to help them practice at home. I am happy to support whichever option works best for your family.
