Frequently Asked Questions
How frequent are lessons?
Lessons are scheduled on a once-a-week basis. In order to have a regular time slot reserved in my schedule, you must commit to a weekly spot. I do not offer biweekly spots. Single Booking Lessons are occasionally available as my schedule allows.
Do lessons continue in the summer?
Yes. I make a weekly summer schedule and most students take lessons year-round.
What days do you offer lessons?
Regularly scheduled weekly lessons are available on:
Sundays from 10am-2pm
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 2-9pm.
As of January 2026, all of these weekly slots are full and there is a waiting list. If you are interested in single-booking lessons, visit the Single Booking Lessons page to see what else I have available. Availability is at the mercy of my performing schedule, as I also work as a professional musician.
How much do lessons cost?
For a weekly slot, tuition is as follows:
A 1-hour weekly slot is $500/month
45 minutes weekly slot is $375/month
30 minutes weekly slot is $250/month.
Single booking lessons are $127/hour, $95/45 minutes, and $64/30 minutes.
I do not offer sibling rates or discounts.
What do I need at home to make my child's music lessons successful?
For piano: it is best to have a real acoustic piano for home practice. In lieu of that, I recommend ONLY a digital weighted piano with 88 keys like this one: Yamaha Digital Piano.
For guitar: your child needs an appropriate size guitar for their height. A good rule of thumb is that if the child stands next to the guitar, the headstock should reach no higher than their belly button. It is best to consult with me before purchasing a guitar. Additionally, guitar students need a strap, a tuner, and picks.
For voice: I recommend your child records each voice lesson with a phone or other recording device in order to practice the vocal exercises at home.
What should I do at home to make my child's music lessons successful?
Regular practice is the key! I recommend a short practice session every day, and make it fun. Encourage your child to play their instrument every day, emphasis on the word play! One way for young students to really enjoy their lessons is to teach their parent what they've learned at their lessons each week. It becomes a fun way for the parent and child to bond!
