What age do you begin teaching lessons?

I generally accept students ages 7 - 15.

How do I know if my child is ready to begin taking lessons?

Because our lessons put high emphasis on sight-reading and independence, there are a few criteria to look for when assessing if children are ready to join the studio.

If your child is able to...

• Read and write the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, and G in the alphabet
• Read and write numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5
• Tell the difference between right and left hands

Then your child is probably ready to start lessons!

If you are unsure, I am happy to assess your child in an introductory lesson. Join the studio waitlist to be contacted as soon as Piano Lab re-opens!

Do you teach adults?

I specialize in teaching children ages 7 to 15 years old.

Do you teach private lessons?

I believe in these Piano Lab lessons SO much, that I only accept students into this program. In the small Piano Lab setting, your child receives the individualized attention they need, as well as the privacy required to take risks and improve sight-reading independently. I make sure all students are respectful of one another, and I have zero tolerance for disruption. I want your child to thrive!

Once students have passed Faber Level 5, they have the option to enroll in advanced private lessons based on availability.

How many students are in a lesson?

3-6 students. At this time we do not exceed 6 students in a lesson.

How long are lessons?

Lessons last 60 minutes, and occur on a weekly or bi-weekly basis at a consistent time.

Do you offer make-up lessons?

Yes! Make-up credits are offered for lessons cancelled with more than 24 hours notice. Parents are able to conveniently cancel and reschedule lessons in the Student Portal. These makeup lessons are subject to availability, based on cancellations from other students. There are no refunds for missed lessons, and make-up credits expire after 30 days.

​My child has never played piano before. Is that okay?

Absolutely. I will help your child get started and work with your child every step of the way.

​Do I have to buy a piano?

I highly recommend purchasing a digital keyboard or acoustic piano for your child to play on at home. Students progress MUCH faster if they can practice outside of lessons! With that said, it is not required to have a piano at home.
​
If you would like recommendations on pianos to consider, send me a message! I am happy to share our list of piano features to consider, or help you find a dealer that offers discounted prices on new instruments.

How much does my child have to practice?

Students will progress much faster through their books if they practice at home. Students are recommended to practice each song they are assigned at least 4 times per week. This should add up to about 10-30 minutes of practice, depending on the student's level.

​However, if students are unable to practice, they are completely welcome to work on music during the lesson! I never shame students, and I meet students where they are at, with encouragement and support.
