Frequently asked questions

I want to know what their goals are, how they like to learn, and what their previous musical experience has been. I usually meet with a student and their family to find out what their interests are and to explain what I have to offer to help them to achieve their goals.

I have bachelor degree in music from San Francisco State University and a doctorate in education.  I've been teaching for over 40 years addressing the learning needs of students of a wide range of ages from pre-schoolers to those who are over 60 years old.

Very young students take 30 minute lessons once a week: $25 per lesson paid monthly in advance on the first day of each month.  Older students take 45 minute lessons ($35) or 60 minute lessons ($45).

I started teaching when I was in high school. My studio grew so once I graduated, I was able to teach full-time.
