Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Typically, our lessons times will include 3 elements - warmups (flashcards, scales etc), lesson book review and practice, and elements of piano theory. The rhythm and timing of each of these varies student to student, and as we engage these elements I will be actively learning what each student’s needs and preferences are and finding ways to teach toward those things!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been playing piano for 27 years, including 13 years of private piano lessons, 4 years of church piano training in college; and 10 years of experience playing piano as a church minister.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Yes! The cost is $35 per 30 minute lesson.
How did you get started teaching?
I began teaching piano lessons shortly after graduating from college in 2015, I love piano and am passionate about other’s learning to love it too so teaching was a no-brainer for me!
What types of students have you worked with?
In my time as a piano teacher, I have had the opportunity to teach students ranging from 5 years old to folks in their later stages of life! I specialize in teaching students who are beginning piano, or are still in the beginner to intermediate level of piano.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently had a students share with me that they have really enjoyed our lesson times together and that they are loving the piano. As a teacher this is exactly what I hope to hear from students!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would encourage anyone looking for a piano teacher to find someone who cares for them, feels safe and trustworthy to them, and makes the process of learning to play piano feel doable and enjoyable.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Some things to consider might be -
1. Why do I want to take piano lessons? The why is super important is it will be what helps you push through the hard/mundane moments of learning!
2. What do I hope to accomplish by learning the piano?
3. How much time do I plan on putting into weekly practice
