    Frequently asked questions

    After a potential student or their parent initially contacts me, I set up a free "meet and greet" interview to go over my studio policy, discuss goals, and see if we are the right fit.

    Please refer to my profile. In short, I began lessons at an early age, knew that I wanted to teach piano when I was a teenager, studied to do so, and acheived that goal. I've been teaching for over 23 years and love what I do!

    $40for a half hour lesson (ages 4-6)

    $60for a 45 minute lesson ( ages 7 and up)

    $80for an hour lesson (ages 7 and up)

    Lessons are chosen based on both the students and teachers schedule. They are the same time and day each week

    I began as an apprentice when I was a teenager under the tutelage of my then piano teacher. I also worked for a music school and taught there before owning my own studio.

    Ages 4-85. All types. Beginning through early advanced.

    My last recital was a Happy Halloween recital where everyone dressed in costume. Everyone had a great time! It was "Spooktacular!" Lol!

    I think the initial interview can help determine if the teacher is right for you. Look for their experience, ask to sit in on another student's lesson, if allowed. Ask for references. I invite any new students to my recitals which helps them get a good idea. I have a fun, close knit studio and welcome dedicated students who wish to join!

    Am I willing to practice the piano every day in the effective way that the teacher suggests?

    Am I overextended with other activities?

    Do I think that I can progress by not practicing and just show up weekly to lessons?

    Do I have a good piano to practice on?
