OR 45 minute lessons for 1/2 hour fee. This is a great deal and slots fill up fast! I have a successful online course which I personalize for you! My students make wonderful progress! Please only contact me if you are serious about taking Piano Lessons and you have read my details. I specialize in teaching adult beginners! 13yrs and older - any age! (it's never too late to learn). Several of my students have retired and have always wanted to play the piano...now they are! I teach in person if you are in the Orange County California area, if not, I teach using Zoom (most of my students are in other states) Learning online is not difficult since we are face to face over Zoom and I switch the camera view to the piano keyboard to demonstrate piano skills. *I offer an initial free mini meeting over zoom* This is to discuss my teaching style, go over your piano goals, how internet lessons work, and to be sure I am the best teacher for your needs! I have available lesson times between 9:00am to 5:00pm Pacific Time (California) for either In-person lessons in San Juan Capistrano OR private INTERNET LESSONS via ZOOM. Please take time to read my reviews.

I have been teaching for 10 years. I've designed a program which helps beginners to learn quickly along with learning the songs that you want to learn! I customize my lessons for each student based on their strengths and weaknesses (no cookie cutter method) No lesson workbooks to purchase for at least the first six months. You will be amazed at your progress in a short time! I am located in San Juan Capistrano, Ca. I have 2 pianos; a baby grand and a full size Yamaha keyboard for recording. I also pay for subscription sheet music services in order to provide the songs you love to help make the learning process more fun! I love teaching piano and enjoy hearing my students’ progress!

I have been looking for a piano teacher for my two children ages 8 and 10 for years... We’ve tried several but had to stop for various reasons, including scheduling conflicts, teaching style, etc. A friend recommended I try Thumbtack and I am so glad I did. Jorie has been teaching my son and daughter for a year now (unfortunately most of it on Zoom) but even with that added challenge, they are doing so well. She is the perfect fit for them. They are learning so much AND having fun. It’s not the traditional sequence of songs learned that I had as a child, but that’s the point - that doesn’t always work for everyone and it wouldn’t for my kids. I want them to learn music so they can appreciate the arts and have a way to express themselves creatively. And she is helping them do that. Yes, I still have to be on top of them to practice but they love her as a teacher and I am so thankful. No reservations and my highest recommendation!!!!

Details: 6 - 9 years old • Yes, the student can read music • 0 - 2 yrs of formal training • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student has a keyboard • 60 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is standard for my local area. However, I only charge for the lessons you attend. If you notify me in advance that you will not be able to attend a lesson then you do not have to pay. This is NOT typical for music lessons. I feel this "perk" that I offer is a huge help to families who have to work around vacations/dr. appointments/sports etc.!!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
No material/lesson books to purchase for the first year! I provide the learning sheets for you to print. I specialize in helping beginners make quick progress!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a singer/songwriter. I have 30 years of experience playing piano, voice instruction, songwriting and recording. I have studied at Berkeley School of Music in Boston, MA.
