Registration and Tuition

NEW STUDENTS:

I teach students ages 6 and up, with younger students considered on an individual basis.
All new students (or their parents) start by having a short phone call or text chat (10-15 minutes) with me to discuss their background, interests, and schedule an initial lesson.

In our first lesson we will review your current piano abilities as well as general music knowledge, interests, and goals. Based on what comes up, as well as any songs or subjects of interest you provide to me in advance, I will propose a few central topics and handouts/music to focus on. These will also serve as the basis for your first assignments which you will receive at the end of the lesson. Any specific goals or interests can be covered with me in our initial chat so I have a lesson plan geared for you personally.

Lessons are billed at the rate of $125/hour, $95/45 min., and $65/half-hour. After three initial lessons, students who want to continue with regular sessions will register for a slot in the schedule with a 10-lesson pack.

STANDARD WEEKLY LESSONS:

Regular students register in advance for lessons in sets of ten. At the tenth lesson of each set, payment is due for the next set.
Hour-long lessons are $125 per lesson and cost $1250 per 10-lesson set.
45-min. lessons are $95 per lesson and cost $950 per 10-lesson set.
Half-hour lessons are $65 per lesson and cost $650 per 10-lesson set.

Standard lessons can be held both in-studio or online. For in-home lessons, please inquire about availability and cost.

Options are also available for students who wish to sign up for more than one lesson per week, or regular lessons at a more infrequent interval (such as bi-monthy). I’m happy to work with you in setting up a curriculum and schedule that suits your needs.

Note: Though numerous handouts and music printouts are provided in my lessons, registration for lesson sets does not cover cost of physical instruction books or supplies sometimes required for your music study.

DROP-IN/CONSULTATION LESSONS: 

Aside from introductory lessons, all lessons purchased ‘à la carte’ are considered drop-ins and cost $145 per hour lesson. Drop-ins are a good option for those who prefer more infrequent lessons, can’t commit to a weekly schedule, or just want the occasional tutoring session to work through a specific challenge.

INTENSIVES:

Intensive packages are available for students who wish receive a burst of in-depth, extended teaching and materials that will last them a long time. These longer sessions are like private workshops rather than standard lessons and they are centered around a specific topic or goal. If you are interested in this option please contact me so we can discuss it further.
