Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
All of our new students receive a FREE trial lesson! When you set up a trial lesson, the teacher will come to your home, usually at the time your regular lesson would be scheduled, so you can experience exactly what a lesson would be like. The teacher will spend about 15-20 minutes working with the student depending on their level of experience to evaluate their level, learning style, musical goals and what materials are needed. New students will learn a few short songs, play a musical game and learn a little about their instrument.
Parents are welcome to observe during the lesson and ask any questions you may have after the lesson. This is a great opportunity to get a feel for a music lesson, meet the teacher, and evaluate how the teacher and student work together. The director will follow-up after the lesson to see if you are ready to move forward with regular lessons!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Mrs. Burke’s formal music training began at a very young age, and continued through college. Sarah earned her Music Education degree from University of Valley Forge in Pennsylvania, with piano as her primary instrument and voice her secondary, as well as a concentration in piano pedagogy. She went on to earn her National Music Teachers Certification and has been teaching piano lessons for over 15 years as well as teaching music in various classroom settings in the States and in Europe.
Sarah has been the owner and director of Pineapple for over seven years and thoroughly enjoys her roles of curriculum development, planning events, overseeing staff, and working with new families. Although her background is strongly classical literature, she also enjoys playing pop music and working with chords and lead sheets. Her classroom experiences have helped her to become a creative teacher, and she is always looking for new ways to catch a student’s interest or explain theory in a way that makes sense.
