I teach older children, teens, and adults of all skill levels: beginning, intermediate, and advanced. I have been teaching piano for 28 years, and violin for 22 of those years. Lessons are traditional, meaning that I teach students to read music, and my specialty is classical music, although I can definitely play and teach other styles as well. I teach ages 9 to adult. Most of my students have lessons every other week, (one lesson every 2 weeks.) I also occasionally get a weekly opening. Regular lesson attendance and regular practice between lessons required. I am understanding of cancellations once in a while due to illness, medical appointments, inclement weather, and other important reasons. However, I can ‘t keep a time-slot available for anyone if they have excessive cancellations (for reasons other than illness or other emergencies), and/or if they are not practicing regularly. I am looking for highly interested students only.

My rates as of 9/1/24: $25.00 per 30-minute lesson, $18.00 per 20-minute lesson, or $34.00 per 40-minute lesson. Most students have 30-minute lessons. I accept cash or personal checks only, and most students pay for one lesson at a time. Books are an additional cost that is usually kept to a minimum.

As of March 2025, I have a brand new Kawai acoustic upright piano, and my students are doing amazingly playing on this beautiful instrument.

I teach on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. All new students will be scheduled between 1:30 and 5:00 pm, so that I can finish by around 5:30 each day. Please contact me for more details.
