- The study of music enriches life, and it is fun! However, talent and intelligence without effort won’t get you very far. Learning to play the piano requires daily practice. ‘Nuff said!
- The year is divided into 4 terms of approximately 12 weeks each. Tuition is payable by the term, $270/term, or by the month, $90/month. Discounts are available for paying by the term and/or for additional children in the same family.
- Tuition covers weekly (almost) private lessons and monthly (almost) group lessons during the Fall, Winter and Spring Terms. During the Summer Term there are private lessons only. See the Program Details or Calendar Pages for all the specifics.
- Private lessons include piano technic, i.e. scales, arpeggios, chords, exercises, and study of music from a variety of periods and styles, i.e. classical, jazz, rag, contemporary.
- Group lessons are divided by age groups and include student performances, improvisation, music theory, and activities in note and rhythm reading.
- Recitals are scheduled at least twice per year. See the Calendar Page for dates.
- Beginners do not participate in Group lessons until after about a year of lessons.
- I teach year round except for Thanksgiving Week, Christmas Vacation, Spring Break and two weeks in June. I do not reschedule lessons except during the summer, but I do provide a swap list so that students can trade lesson times when conflicts arise.
- There are several incentive programs in which students may participate. See the Incentives page for details.
