Prowess came to our house and did piano lessons for my family. She is very professional, always showed up on time and she smiles a lot. She is a very joyful and pleasant person. As theory goes with classical music, she is good about using stepping blocks and making sure you understand one concept before moving on to another. She taught me and my daughter so she is great at teaching adults and children, and knows how to approach teaching for all ages. I am genuine in saying that Prowess is gem of a piano teacher. I highly recommend her.

Prowess is an outstanding musician overall. Her intuitive understanding of classical, jazz, and rock--all of it filtered through improvisation gives her the chops to teach in any style. She has that rare combination: training as a classical musician, yet an ear to rival the best jazz/pop musician. I recommend her as a teacher of any style of music.

Prowess performed regularly on an online music series I coordinated. Her programs were very popular because of both the quality of the music and the great insightful commentary.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
DISCOUNT: My first lesson is free! My standard rate is $60 per hour and $45 for 45 minutes. I add $10 travel fee for in-home visits. (Does not apply to online lessons.)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My first concern is to determine a new student's skill level (musically & technically), goals, dreams, learning style, practice habits & musical taste. * For students without a piano or keyboards, I enjoy helping people find/buy the perfect keyboard at a good price, used or new.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As a life-long learner, I keep up my studies and continue learning about teaching including the latest developments around teaching piano. My education includes: - Many years of private piano lessons since age 3 - Elementary School music classes - Piano Performance Major at UCSB & UCLA - Various music classes, workshops, lectures on a variety of topics pertaining to music.
