We had a great experience at Emma’s first piano lesson! The instructor was very patient, helpful, and attentive. I really appreciated how he took the time to ask Emma questions to understand her current level and experience so he could better tailor the lessons to her needs. It was clear that he wanted to get to know her and help her learn at her own pace. We’re looking forward to continuing lessons and seeing Emma grow in her piano skills! Highly recommend! 🎹

The lesson was great! He was very helpful and finding out what I needed to work on, and telling me how to fix it. It was clear he wasn’t trying to take my money, but instead actually teach me.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
You can book as needed at $35 per 30 minutes, or a consistent weekly spot billed monthly starting at $140-$175/month (4 week vs 5 week months)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Every new student can take a free trial lesson before committing to anything. This way you can meet me, try out the online platform and be sure it is the right fit for your needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been playing guitar and piano for over 20 years. I studied guitar privately with an instructor at a local music store for several years. Likewise I studied piano with a local professor at Stetson University privately. I tutored music throughout school, and have been teaching privately for over a decade.
