All our lessons are private. Private instruction provides an ideal environment for mastery of a musical instrument, allowing the teacher to meet the unique needs of each student adapting to his or her challenge level, assessing technical strengths and weaknesses, and creating an atmosphere tailored to the student's learning style.

Online private lessons are a way for us to work together one-on-one, as teacher and student, from anywhere in the world, via video conferencing services such as Zoom, Skype, Facetime, or the platform of your choice. Our lessons are private and customized to help each student thrive. We have highly qualified music instructors that are professional musicians and educators with a degree(s) in music and professional experience performing. All our instructors are background-checked.

These lessons are an effective way to introduce people of all ages to the joys of music making.

• Have fun and make music!
• Flexible curriculum tailored to each student
• Emphasis on fun and enjoyment

Piano students are expected to have an instrument as soon as they start lessons as we give homework from day one. All piano students need an acoustic instrument that is tuned at least once a year or a digital piano with 88 touch-sensitive keys. I will be happy to recommend a piano technician who can help you maintain your piano in excellent condition.

If you want help purchasing an appropriate digital piano, I will be glad to provide links to a variety of suitable options.
