Weekly lessons, tailored to each student

What lessons look like

Lessons are private and one-on-one, held weekly so that steady progress can take root. We begin with warm-ups and fundamentals, work through new material at a comfortable pace, and finish with the pieces a student is excited to play. I meet each student exactly where they are — a first-time beginner and a returning adult will have very different lessons, and that is exactly as it should be.

Ages welcome

I happily teach students of all ages, from 3 to 85. Young children, school students, teens, and adults are all welcome. If you have wondered whether you or your child is “too young” or “too old” to start — you are neither.

Lesson length & pricing

Lessons are $30 per half hour, and longer lessons are available for students who are ready for more. Most students begin with a weekly half-hour lesson; as skills and stamina grow, many move up to a longer session. We can talk through the right fit when you reach out.

Theory tests & scholarships

Younger students take annual theory tests that strengthen their understanding of how music actually works — and strong results can open the door to possible scholarships. It is a wonderful way to give students a goal to reach for and to reward their hard work.

Two recitals a year

Students perform in two recitals each year for friends and family. Recitals are warm, encouraging occasions — a chance to celebrate progress, build confidence, and share the fruit of months of practice with the people who love them most.
