Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
It is best to start with an online interview or free assessment. This gives the student a chance to see what can be expected and the teacher a chance to place the student at their appropriate musical level. We also offer interviews with parents to ask questions and get a demo of our interactive practice app.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
All our teachers are chosen for their expertise in working with young children. Of course, they also are experts at the piano. They get ongoing training on best teaching techniques and latest ways interact with young children.

How did you get started teaching?
Move Over Mozart has been teaching in the Seattle area since 1994. Our goal is to provide quality lessons that are convenient and affordable so that every child interested in piano has the opportunity to learn. Pre-Covid-19, we offered small class instruction at schools and community centers. Now we use technology to offer the best online classes for young children.
What types of students have you worked with?
Beginning ages 3 1/2 to 12 years old and intermediate or older students in a private lesson setting.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
We offer free piano parties (online) for anyone interested in finding out more about our classes and for students to have additional opportunities to perform. Our parties include a theme, interactive lesson time, and a story about a composer from history. Most importantly, our piano parties are fun!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Rapport is the most important thing between a teacher/student and parent.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Know what you are looking for in a teacher. Are you looking to learn a specific style of music or song? Make sure your teacher can teach you that. Also, are there any characteristics you admire in teachers. Look for those same characteristics. Again, rapport is the most important thing in a teacher/student/parent relationship.
