Piano & Voice Lessons

Picture
Learning to play the piano and/or increasing your vocal skill is an exciting adventure!  Learning to play the piano and the theory that comes with it is an excellent foundation to all other instruments.  Learning to use your voice - your built in instrument - is a wonderful process of discovery and can lead to great personal satisfaction as well as other opportunities in life.  I could go on and on about the benefits of musical training!

Here are some specifics concerning lessons: 
  • I emphasize traditional training - reading music notation - as well as reading chord charts and lead sheets, depending on the goals of the student.  Improvisational techniques also available.
  • I emphasize music theory and ear training in both piano and vocal training.  So important!
  • I believe that teaching a variety of styles is important for a well-rounded musical experience.  Foundational styles being classical, jazz and contemporary...and we go from there depending on the interest of the student.
  • Piano lessons are given in 1/2 hour increments.  Hour lessons are a possibility for advanced students, or students wanting to combine piano and voice.
  • Tuition is $15 per 1/2 hour lesson.
  • Tuition is paid on a monthly basis - due on the 1st lesson of each month. 
  • We've found that an agreement is necessary for student/parent and teacher so all the details are clear to everyone on what's expected for success.  The signing of an agreement is required.  This form has the answers to many questions you may have concerning the details of lessons.  Upon request, we will send one to you for your review.  Please see "Contact Us" to request a Welcome Packet.
