Private Lessons
All piano lessons are one-on-one instruction.
Lesson lengths range from 45 minutes to two-60 minute lessons per week, depending on the level of study.
Please note that in registering for lessons there are two options. The first option being one lesson per week; while the second and most favorable option is two lessons per week. The two lessons per week has been implemented in the past with great success. As with gymnastics, dance, swimming, hockey and other events, two-weekly lesson will promote greater learning and a stronger musical foundation.
