🎶 Class Structure:
These are 45 minute, ongoing private 1:1 piano lessons. You will receive personalized guidance and instruction based on your age, needs and musical goals. 

🍏 How I Will Teach:
The first lesson serves as an introductory session to assess your background in music, understand your prior musical experience (if applicable), and establish your learning objectives. Following this initial session, a long-term plan will be devised, including recommendations for method books and repertoire which align with your musical goals.

👩🏼‍🏫 Teaching Style:
My dedication to my private students is unwavering and I enjoy building lasting bonds with them! As a teacher, I have often been described as "passionate", "caring" and "tech-savvy" by parents, students and administrators. While I enjoy creating structured lesson plans, I tend to embrace organic learning moments as they arise.

🙋🏽 Learner Interaction:
Since these are private 1:1 lessons, you will receive complete one-one-one attention where I'll address your strengths and weaknesses with the overall goal of helping you become the best player you can be!

🧠 Required Experience or Knowledge:
No prior musical or playing experience is required but learners should be at least 8 years old for this class length. Occasional age-exceptions will be granted based on the attention-span and maturity level of the child and whether they're ready to handle a 45-minute class length.
