The lesson costs are based on a schedule averaging 4 weekly lessons per month. Some months have 5 lessons, there is no extra charge for that because it is used to offset other months that have 3 lessons due to holidays on the schedule. This way the price remains constant each month. Currently, $144/month for 1/2 hour weekly lessons, $210/month for 45 minute weekly lessons.

I would schedule an interview to assess the students' needs and
genres of music of interest to them. Lessons are at a "go at your own pace". We advance as we master each piece(s).

I received my teaching certification from the Music Teachers' Association of California in 1998, after completing the 3 year Cal Plan program administered by the association. I also received a Diploma from Sherwood Music School of Chicago, extension department, in Piano and related theoretic subjects. I also studied for a few years from classical pianist, John Kraus.

I have loved playing the piano all my life and have many, many years of experience as an accompanist for churches, small groups, school drama-musicals, school choirs, etc.
Many young children would ask me to teach them after hearing me play and I decided this would be a good occupation for myself and have enjoyed it for many years!

I have worked with students of all ages and levels, some wishing to study classical, some chords or pop music, and theory.
