They might be ready or they might need to take group lessons for a while. Very young students benefit more in a movement/music combo class. Things to look for to assess readiness: -Can the child sit still and concentrate long enough to take a 30 minute one-on-one class? -Can they read numbers and know their alphabet? -Have they expressed an interest in playing? -Do they have access to a piano at home? During the summer I teach an introductory group class to see if students are ready for private lessons.

Lessons are online. We are still live, not prerecorded, so you have the same interaction as in person lessons: • No need to go out in the dark or inclement weather. • Play your own piano. • No travel time. Students can get home from other activities and go straight to their piano lessons. With time for a snack... • Parents can watch their child's lessons in person. • No missed lessons because the student is slightly ill or parent feels unwell. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined Click Here (javascript:void(0))for to learn more about online lessons.

We have online performances twice a year. In addition to their solo works; students are encouraged to perform with friends, family members and events outside of our studio when possible. We will help with preparation if asked. Most of us are social beings and young people definitely want a shared experience. Playing with others is fun and has proven to help young students STAY involved in music. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined
