Glenda's Piano Studio
About
Music has always been a big part of my life and I very much want to share it with others whether they just want to listen or if they want to learn how to do it themselves. It's also a great way to develop self-assurance and discipline without any threat of physical injury like sports or constant costs like dance, karate, and gymnastics. And it's one-on-one! Students do not "compete" - each student learns according to his/her own ability, style, and speed.
I keep my costs down so I can reach more students. Things are tough for everybody these days and certainly piano lessons are non-essential. I would rather see more students enjoy learning piano and music than brag about how much money I make. Also, I use a really wonderful lesson/method book that's also quite expensive. Since I have a registered (in NJ) music business, I can purchase multiple copies and "loan" them to students instead of asking parents to pay $40-$60 for books that will be useful for only a few months. Once the student has completed each set in the series, those books are returned to me and the next level is provided. For me, it's an office supply deduction on my income taxes. For students, it's a big savings!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
You must have access to a piano or keyboard (64+ keys) so you can practice during the week. Schedule a lesson by calling the studio (856-582-1984). Most lessons are Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday but may be expanded as more students are added. Payment is cash or check, most often paid at each lesson. There are discounts if more than one student from the same household is taking weekly lessons.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been teaching private piano lessons since 1976. I have a B.S. in Music Education from West Chester University PA and am presently also the music director at St. Paul UMC in West Deptford. Before Covid issues, my students usually attended 2 special performance events in my home each year and a full recital each spring at a local church. Those activities have not yet been reactivated.
