Frequently Asked Questions
What are your rates?
My rate is $20 per lesson, for an average $100 month.
Reduced cost options are available for students that qualify for free/reduced lunch at school.
Do you travel teach?
No. I have found that there are too many distractions at a student's home. Also if I am at your home, I do not have the flexibility to change the lesson plan as I will not have access to all my materials.
How long are lessons?
Lessons are generally a half hour. Very young students may have a 20 minute lesson and
older students may have a 45 or 60 minute lesson at the discretion of the teacher.
How much do books cost?
Method books vary in cost, but average around $9 a book.
Do we need to own a piano?
Yes and no. It is preferable to start with a piano right away, but very young students may start on a keyboard.
A piano should be bought within the first 6 months- year in order to continue growing as a pianist.
Do you do makeup lessons?
Make-up lessons are offered for sickness and vacations with prior notice and family emergencies.
Do we need to practice between lessons?
Practicing between lessons is key to continued growth. Lessons are designed to introduce new concepts and to polish pieces.
