Lessons for kids and teens
A warm welcome to you, parents and guardians! I know how much you want your young man or young lady to succeed at and enjoy piano. I'm here to work with you to make lessons as beneficial and enjoyable as possible.
Session lengths: Private piano lessons are offered in 30-minute sessions for beginners. We will transition to 45-minute sessions as students progress to Intermediate and Advanced skill levels.
Age: Most often the youngest age accepted in my studio is 5 years old. Depending on maturity and interest level, some students may start later.
Practice expectations: A piano at home is, of course, necessary. An acoustic piano is preferred, but if you do not have one, an electronic keyboard with weighted keys is fine to begin. Most students should practice 20-30 minutes a day, five days a week. Certain students (the very young, for example) will be assigned less practice time; advanced students, more. I’ll teach the student how to practice at home with purpose, enjoyment, and great results.
Parent/guardian involvement: This is KEY! Your most important role as a guardian is to consistently be a part of your student’s practice. The younger a student, the more participation is needed. The very young beginner will need you to sit down with him or her during every practice session. For more advanced students, you still need to be involved, even if it’s just an encouragement at the end of a practice to say, “Great job!”
