If your child is interested in the piano and music, it is best to set up a time where we can meet so I can assess their readiness.  There are good options for young children to learn musical concepts if they’re not yet ready for private lessons.

There are several options for missed lessons:

• I have an online scheduling system where you can swap lesson times with another student.
• I have overflow times each week for certain one-off lesson conflicts.
• You can send me a video of what you’ve prepared, and I will send back notes and next assignments.

My philosophy is that performing should be a natural part of piano lessons.  In the Repertoire class, all the students in the studio get together online and share what they are working on.  Sometimes the pieces are polished; other times we will share a section of a work in progress. We learn from each other, and it is a fun social time.  We have at least 4 Repertoire classes each year.  They are a great way for younger students to learn from seeing older students play, and for older students to encourage younger students. 

The Repertoire class is where we learn about the Big Idea for the studio, a concept that the studio participates in together.  This past year the Big Idea was playing by ear.

Pop-up classes are smaller groups of students based on age.  Often there are concepts that beginners (who tend to be younger, but not always) or more advanced students are learning at the same time.  The smaller group classes give students a chance to get to work together.  I can give more individual attention in a smaller group.  Pop-up classes are held at least four times through the year.
