Music Lessons For All!

First lesson is always free. There are too many scary stories of people being put off by a teacher not suited to the student. I work with my clients to get the best education and information to set them up for success.

I've been a professional musician for over twenty years, received multiple scholarships from colleges and universities, been in choirs and ensembles with award-winning directors, and taught myself piano at age 6. As far as non-musical lessons I provide, like acting, crafting, or life-coaching, these are all personal life experiences shared to improve the quality of life and help those who need a listening ear (pun intended). 

$20.00 for 30 minutes, $35.00 for 60 minutes, and the first lesson is always free.

I've always shared everything I learned with anyone who would listen, but it wasn't until I started teaching children alongside adults how different the learning process is for each person. Tutoring provides a better dynamic to absorb the information, as well as decipher how the individual processes the material.

Almost all, with the exceptions being severe special needs, non-verbal, or hearing impaired. I am willing to teach anyone who is willing to learn and I will learn how to teach them.

I was recently referred to a new family whose daughters want to learn piano. The oldest was assigned a new piece of music and we're still working out a piece from Christmas. When we had our lesson yesterday, she was able to play each song, both hands, the new music only two weeks old.

They've only been clients for two months.

A crazy special story, a student came to me years ago asking to be taught how to play by ear. We had a frank discussion about how this isn't something one can necessarily learn.

We succeeded, three and a half years later, still working out the ear training, but he can now recognize when the changes occur and where they're going to go. 

Be very picky. Listen to yourself or your kids about the teacher and how they affect you or your student. Have them demonstrate their primary instrument or provide you with evidence they understand the anatomical and physiological aspects of what they teach. These are things which will cause permanent damage if the instructor is unaware.

None, you may ask the teacher anything to clarify your goals. You're searching for answers; ask the teacher. If you don't like the answers or the teacher, then you have your answer.
