Complicated musical stuff
Don't touch that dial!
 
   1.  How much do lessons cost?
       $25 per lesson/30 minutes
 
   2.  How long do I sign up for?
       You are committed on a month to month basis.
 
   3.  When should I start my child in piano lessons?
       When they can sit for 30 minutes and have some reading ability. 
       Usually this is in Kindergarten to first grade.
 
   4.  How long is each lesson?
        Usually 30 minutes.  However, you can add more time if you would   
        like.
 
   5.  Do you have recitals?
       Yes.  There are two recitals every year at the end of each school    
       semester.  Parents, family and friends are all invited.
 
   6.  What method books do you use?
        I use the Piano Adventures series by Faber and Faber.
       You will need to get four books:  Lesson, recital or performance,       
       technic and theory.  You can order these online at amazon.com or go 
       to your music store.
 
   7.  Where do you teach?
        I have an in-home studio.  A restroom and a waiting area is available for         students and parents.
 
   8.  Can I drop my child off?
       Yes.  You can either sit in the lesson or drop your child off.
 
   9.  What if I have to cancel a lesson?
        If you have to cancel a lesson,you will NOT be reimbursed.  This is 
        what I do for a living.  You are granted ONE make-up lesson per 
        semester.  Any other missed lessons, you will forfeit.
 
10.  When do I pay?
      On the first lesson of each month for that month.  This usually amounts
      to $100
 
11.  Are there lessons during school vacations and holidays?
      There are no lessons during vacations and holidays. 
 
12.  Do I need a piano at home if I want to take piano lessons?
      Yes.  Practice is an important component of studying piano.  A
      small keyboard is not appropriate because it does not have weighted
      keys or touch sensitivity.

Where can I buy a  used piano?
FAQ's


DATE TO BE DETERMINED  
Many of my students have purchased used pianos off of craigslist.com.  Send me a link if you find one online and I'll let you know what I think. 
 
Buying a used piano is a great way to go but just be sure it is inspected by a professional piano technician prior to purchasing it.  The piano may look nice to you but the inside might be warped and cracked.
