Private Piano Lessons

Private piano lessons is the gold standard in regards to learning and mastering the piano.

Beginners start with a 30 minute lesson, once per week. Intermediate and advanced students increase to 45 and 60 minute lessons.

Focused, one-on-one attention between student and teacher allows your learning to be tailored specifically to your abilities and interests.

My goal is to have each student come away from every lesson feeling that they have learned something and they are excited and motivated to practice these new skills at home.

Private Lessons Price: $20 per 30 minute lesson

Lesson are held once per week.

No lessons are held on holidays.

For Everyone

POPULAR HITS

No matter our level or age, all of us have those songs we hear and think "I wish I could play that on the piano."

Well, you can!

You can learn to play simplified to advanced versions of modern classics such as The Entertainer, Music Box Dancer, the Charlie Brown theme song to the hits we hear on the radio - Adele, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift... the list goes on and on!

While a study of classical music gives you a solid understanding of the piano and the technique required to play it well, modern day hits are often the music we turn to when we want to play for our friends, or when we want to play simply for enjoyment.
