Piano Lessons
Private piano lessons are offered to ages 6 and up. My goal is to give each student a lifelong ability to play the piano well, entertain others, and enjoy themselves in the process! Lessons are highly supportive and fun because learning the piano should be a process of discovery and beauty, not boredom. Piano lessons are a multi-year commitment for the family.
My piano students have the option of studying the international Royal Conservatory of Music® piano curriculum. Students may also study improvisational piano and music composition/ song writing. All piano students, whether RCM track or not, also play in the yearly recital. Students will find other playing opportunities in school talent shows and for family and friends.
Playing, reading, and practice skills take time to develop. A broad variety of quality music, music theory training, and attention to detail are necessary. Therefore, most students benefit from emphasis on these more than on frequent public performance.
