Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I start out finding out what level they are at, then I test their sightreading, and basic knowledge. If a beginner, then we start with the basics.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I began my studies at age 7 and took lessons through college. In 1998, I returned to school, FAU, and began studying with Dr. Irena Kofman for 3 years. I go back for a review lesson every now and then.
I have taught music and music theory since 1991 and I am a church pianist. I can sightread just about anything and can play in every genre of music.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
1/2 hour lessons, once a week are $35.
1 hour lessons are $50.
They are payable by the month through Apple pay.
How did you get started teaching?
I was teaching part time at a school in Hollywood, Fl and administration encouraged me to pick more students and go full-time. It made the school more attractive to potential students.
What types of students have you worked with?
Kindergarten through age 78.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I went with a student in May to audition for my former instructor, Dr. Kofman at FAU and my instructor was pleased with what I had taught my student.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure you like your teacher. If you like who you are working with, it will encourage you to do your best.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What track do you want to study? There are two that I offer, the "I want to learn for fun route" and the classical study student route. Both will offer technique, sightreading, and theory but the repetoire will be different and the classical will include assessments and jury performance.
