FREE first lesson (in-person) in the convenience of your house! Please see my first photo that is below for instructions on how to book the FREE piano lesson at your house. I can bring a keyboard if needed. I currently drive to Arlington, Falls Church, Great Falls, McLean, Vienna, Fairfax, Herndon, and Reston. Yes, I will drive to your house and provide an empowering piano lesson for FREE. I will plan a special activity with your favorite songs even as a complete beginner. Additionally, I will also teach you my "secret sauce recipe" to create beautiful melodies on the piano on the spot (also known as improvisation) even in the very first lesson. My name is Sammie Vats and I have been playing the piano since I was 6 years old. I was trained at the Coomber School of Music in Herndon, Virginia since I was in the first grade to the 12th grade. After graduating from high school, I went to study Piano Performance at Hollins University which is an all-women's institute about 45 minutes away from Virginia Tech. I completed a piano teaching certificate and a senior piano recital there. I specialize in teaching piano through a harmonious balance of education, enjoyment, and excitement. You will learn to read musical notation and play your favorite songs with ease. I have developed several methods to read musical notation faster than the traditional method. Creative concepts such as improvisation and composition will also be taught to help put music theory into practice. I teach students as young as 3 and the oldest student I have ever taught was 80 years old. I have an open song/composition policy. I am happy to teach you any song you like on the piano regardless of your level. I have special methods developed to help even the complete beginner play an exciting piece of music. Students will also be introduced to different styles of music to develop an appreciation for a variety of musical genres. After my FREE trial lesson, my rates for in-home piano lessons are: 30 minutes- $50 45 minutes- $75 60 minutes - $100 You are NEVER charged for missed or cancelled lessons. You only pay for piano lessons that are completed. Other studios will still bill you even if you are sick and need to miss a lesson. I will never do that to you. This is a great rate as most music stores in the area charge $45-$55 per half an hour lesson. You have to drive to them usually in heavy traffic. Then you have to spend extra money on gas and time driving. I conveniently come to you for about the same rate which saves you the hassle.See more

In-Home Piano Lessons- FREE first lesson
She is teaching my six year old son and was kind enough to bring an electronic piano to our house so we could try out lessons before committing to a piano purchase. She is very nice and asked for my son's favorite songs in advance. She brought the sheet music for his favorite song to the first lesson and is bringing another song for his second lesson; I believe this will keep him engaged and makes learning more fun.

FYI, we tried a one-hour session at Bach to Rock in our nearby shopping center. There were six other kids and it seemed like our son didn't get that much instruction or attention for our money. Ms. Saumya is very hands on, gave our son her undivided attention, and I believe she is very competitively priced. I would recommend her and will post updates as our son moves further along in his studies.

Sam is a great musician and teacher. He took his time to listen and understand the kind of music I love and my goal of learning and provided personalized lesson plan. He always carefully listen to my questions and provide constructive feedback and techniques for practicing. He would brilliantly point out things in music that I didn't notice. His encouragements made me more confident to continue learning piano. He would go above and beyond to make sure I have what I need for practicing. I could not wish for a better piano teacher!

Donna Whited Teaching Studio

Extremely racist and rude. My children, a 13 year old boy, and 7 year old girl had been getting lessons from Donna for a couple months now. Overall, I felt that she was a biy impatient and did not really know how to effectively teach children. I didn't say anything as I figured that was how piano teachers are and decided to give her a chance as the children were improving.

Today I told her that due to personal reasons we would have to stop lessons for a month or two, and she immediately cut me off and said, "Well then it's time to find a new teacher." I was at a loss for words so I began to tell her that I would talk to my wife and see if we can continue the lessons, but she cut me off again and started making racist comments about Indians, saying that, "you Indians always do this. I have no problem with my Caucasian students."

I wish I had known that this was a whites-only establishment or I would not have wasted my money. I went outside to cool down and went back inside to calmly explain to her I didn't appreciate the racist comment. She snapped back and told me that it's true that all Indians are like this and that she had to put up with us and my "difficult daughter". She knew what she said was wrong and tried to backtrack and say, "but she is improving".

I had informed her in writing that my daughter was autistic. We had even gone for a trial lesson in the beginning and asked for confirmation that she would be able to teach my daughter.

No parent should have to deal with someone who is racist and insults their children.
