How Lessons Work

Welcome! My piano studio is a place where students build confidence, creativity, and musical skill in an encouraging environment.

Weekly Lessons

  • Weekly private lessons (30, 45, or 60 minutes)
  • Convenient home studio with easy parking
  • Spacious seating area for parents with free WiFi

What Makes This Studio Special

  • Warm communication – Instructions are phrased so students feel empowered, not corrected.
  • Customized learning – Attuned to each student’s pace, guidance neither rushes nor holds back.
  • Clear structure – Students receive a typed weekly assignment sheet; I keep digital records to track progress.
  • Family partnership – Parent support at home makes a big difference, especially for younger children.

Performances & Opportunities

Music comes alive through sharing. Students in my studio enjoy:

  • Two formal recitals each year — grand piano, formal dress, refreshments, and community connection
  • Monthly MMTF recitals — opportunities across the Twin Cities to perform for ribbons and trophies
  • Duets & ensembles — through the MMTA Ensemble Festival
  • Contests & exams — including the MMTA State Contest and piano exams

Practical Details

  • I help families choose instruments that fit their needs and budget.
  • I select music books; parents order online for home delivery.
  • Lesson rates — $50 for 30 minutes, $75 for 45 minutes, $100 for 60 minutes.

The Studio Experience

At its heart, this studio is a place where music becomes a lifelong companion — not just something students do, but something they love and carry with them for life.
