Homework
1-2 hours per week. Consistent practice between lessons is key to progressing as a musician. Specific practice schedules will vary depending on each student's needs, but daily or near-daily practice is highly encouraged for all students. For beginners, 5-15 minutes a day will be sufficient; as the material becomes more advanced, the amount of practice will also need to increase.Class Experience

Lessons are custom-tailored to each individual student, so everyone from beginner through advanced is welcome! Classes will focus on developing the following skills: - effective and healthy piano technique - music theory - sight-reading - artistry and expression - effective practice methods - memorization Over time, students will learn to become their own best teachers, gaining the tools necessary to keep growing as musicians for the rest of their lives. Lessons are designed to help students gain self-confidence and problem-solving skills that will serve them well in other academic areas and beyond the classroom. Consistent practice between lessons is key to progressing as a musician, so students will need to have a piano or keyboard at home.
