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 Great Falls, McLean, Vienna, 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.
