Frequently Asked Questions

How much do you charge?

New students start with 30 minute lessons once per week. Payment is a flat rate of $150 per month. This includes the cost of books and materials.

At what age can my child begin piano lessons?

I generally recommend starting at the age of 5 or 6. It depends on the child's ability to sit at the piano and listen for a 30 minute period. Feel free to ask for a trial lesson if you are not sure that your child is ready.

Do you currently have openings?

Yes! Contact the studio now to reserve your spot for the new school year. They go fast!

Does a student need to own a piano to enroll in piano lessons?

Yes. The student should have an acoustic piano or full size keyboard with weighted keys. Contact me for more info on piano and keyboard shopping if you don't have a piano yet. I'm happy to help!

I am not a musician. Will I be able to help my child practice?

Yes! I will provide you with all the tools to support your child's musical journey at every step.

How much practice is required for piano lessons? What does the time commitment look like?

Students are expected to practice 5 days a week. The length depends on current level, but most beginners should expect to practice for 15-30 minutes daily, adding more time as they advance. It is the parents' job to ensure that a practice routine is established and that the student has room for practice time in their schedule.

Do you host recitals?

Recitals are an important and exciting event for students to celebrate their work throughout the year. Recitals will be hosted at least twice a year, including a Christmas and Spring concert. Stay tuned for additional events including performance classes and competitions.
