This class is capped at 1 student to ensure each learner received 1 on 1 instruction. These Private Piano Lessons are perfect for Learners Ages 5-17 looking for long term or short term Piano Instruction in their own home. Without having to worry about a commute, you can have much more flexibility with your schedule. Learners have shown up for lessons in their PJ's or take lessons while a parent is cooking dinner, catching up with work or putting other siblings to bed. 

We will learn to read and play music with correct techniques for playing in an engaging environment. I have over 15 years of experience teaching piano classes to students of all ages, levels and ability. Whether your learner is a beginner or has taken lessons previously (in person or online) from another teacher, I will meet your learner where they are and help them grow to the next level.

Lessons are individualized towards the learner’s level of experience. In the first lesson, we will get to know one another and your learner's goals in playing the piano. If they are a beginner, we'll go over some basic skills for playing the piano such as, finger numbers and how to navigate the keys on the keyboard or piano. If your learner already has some experience on the piano, I will assess their skill level, in a no pressure manner, in order to determine what level of curriculum will be best for them. 

Lessons will be taught using the Alfred's Basic Piano Library Method Books. After our first lesson together, I will determine what Level will be appropriate for your learner and send you links to purchase those from Amazon. When appropriate, learners will be given the opportunity to select some fun, "interest" songs to incorporate in our lessons as well. Songs such as an piece for an upcoming Holiday, Disney, Broadway, Pop, etc. All material will be taught at a pace that is appropriate for the learner. A keyboard or piano is necessary for this class. If you do not have one, I have some linked in the Materials section below.

Learners will be given assignments to practice at each lesson in order to reinforce what was learned in class and progress in their ability from week to week. No previous piano experience is needed for this class, but I do offer several Group and Flex classes that beginner learners can take before enrolling in Private Lessons. These classes are a great place to start to determine if learning the Piano is something your learner will enjoy long term! 

This is a Subscription Class which means your card will be charged each week, Sundays, for that week's lesson. Lessons are listed for 20 minutes in this Class Description. However, should you desire a longer lesson, 30 minutes sessions can be offered if it works with my teaching schedule (please message me to see if this is an option and for pricing). Lessons will continue each week on the same day and time for an entire Semester. You can un-enroll in this class at any time if the schedule is no longer working for you or if it is not a good fit for your learner.

- Spring Semester: January-May
- Summer Semester: June-August
- Fall Semester: September-December

If there are currently no openings that work with your schedule, make sure to check out one of my Group Classes below for Beginners. These classes are offered in a small group setting which allow me to provide them at a discounted rate

Tips For A Successful Class

1. It is important to see learners' faces and hands during the class. Have learners sitting at their piano/keyboard and have your device able to capture them from the head to their lower ribcage. I will be able to offer learners feedback on the use of their hands/fingers this way during the lesson. (Example Picture is provided in the Outschool Classroom once enrolled) I would highly discourage using a Phone or other small devices for this class. The larger the screen, the better experience your learner will have.

2. Please ensure to have all Materials ready prior to starting class. Learners will need a Piano or Keyboard, Pencil, Ear Phones/Buds, and Piano Method Books (once assigned) for each lesson.

3. In some lessons, learners will need to write in their Piano Books. Please make sure your space is equipped for this to be possible with a clipboard, desk, or something hard to write on.

4. Younger learners WILL benefit from having an adult sitting next to them (off camera) for help, especially in the first lesson or two. Learning the piano virtually is possible, but may need adult supervision to get started. You know your child best!

5. Ensure learners are in a quiet space to allow them to hear the teacher and stay engaged.
