Where are you located?
The studio is located in Plymouth, off 494 and 55. We are situated in the First National Bank building, Suite F.
What age do you begin teaching lessons?
We enroll new students ages 3 to 18.
Do you teach adults?
I specialize in teaching children ages 7 to 18 years old. At this time we do not have an adult program.
Do you teach private lessons?
We believe in the modern group learning model so much, that we only accept students into these programs. For ages 3-5 classes are taught entirely as a group, with movement, playing music, singing, and repetition.
In the classes for ages 5-7, we instruct as a group and spend some time working independently at digital pianos with headphones. This format prepares students for the LAB program, where lessons are 100% individualized.
For ages 7 and higher in the LAB setting, your child receives the individualized attention they need, as well as the privacy required to take risks and improve sight-reading independently. We make sure all students are respectful of one another, and we have zero tolerance for disruption. We want your child to thrive!

Do you offer make-up lessons?
Yes. Parents can cancel a lesson within 8 hours and receive a make up credit to be used in another class within 30 days of the absence. These make up lessons are subject to availability, and are not guaranteed.
If your child is in the My First Piano Adventure class or LAB class, he or she is also encouraged to watch instructional videos for the assigned songs or written work in SeeSaw, a remote learning application. From there your child may submit videos of assigned songs, or pictures of written work. The teacher will provide feedback to the student throughout the week.
There are no refunds for missed lessons.

My child has never played piano before. Is that okay?
Absolutely. We will help your child get started and work with your child every step of the way.
Do I need to buy a piano?
We highly recommend purchasing a digital keyboard or acoustic piano for your child to play on at home. Students progress much faster if they are able to play piano outside of lessons. With that said, it is not required to have a piano at home.
If you would like recommendations on digital or acoustic pianos to consider, send us a message! We are happy to help you find a piano in your price range, and we will also connect you with a dealer who offers discounted prices on new instruments.
Digital piano characteristics to look for:
The pianos at our studio are all Casio Privia PX-870 models. Many students have opted to purchase this model at home, to make practice and understanding how to work the different features easier.

Digital piano characteristics to look for:
- Has all 88 keys
- Has a sustain pedal (metal pedal preferred)
- Has weighted (preferred) or semi-weighted keys (this allows your child to play loudly and softly)
- Preferred brands: Casio, Yamaha, Roland, Kawai, Korg

How much does my child need to practice?
Students will progress much faster through their books if they play piano at home throughout the week. Students are recommended to play each song they are assigned at least 4 times per week. This should add up to about 10-30 minutes of playing at home, depending on the student's level.
However, if students are unable to play at home, they are completely welcome to work on music during the lesson! We never shame students, and we meet students where they are at, with encouragement and support.
