Private Piano Lessons

Lesson description:

Lessons run weekly for 30 minutes at a time chosen by the guardian and teacher. Guardians are encouraged to appear at every lesson in order to help the student at home and learn along with them. During the lesson the students will learn and review skills such as scales, solo repertoire, and various techniques.

Group Lessons:

Group lessons are a 30 minute time block that replace a regular individual lesson once a month. During this time the student will be paired with other studio members to practice duets. Students will be paired based on their skill level. This improves student sight and rhythm-reading abilities, collaboration, and leadership skills. These practiced duets will be performed at a Holiday recital in December.

Practice Time:

When first beginning to play piano students should practice for at least 15-20 minutes a day, but longer practice times are encouraged. As the students progress, they should aim for 30 to 60 minutes daily. While the teacher will assist the best they can during a lesson, it is up to the student to retain the skills covered from the pervious week.

Pricing:

Lessons start at $100 per month, paid upfront 1 week before the start of the month.

This includes four, 30 minutes lessons: 3 private lessons and 1 group lesson every month.

Students are expected to attend all group lessons as well as all private lessons while at the studio.

By invitation of the the studio only, more advanced learners may sign up for hour long lessons at an extra cost.

Books:

Each student is expected to bring an assigned notebook, lesson, technique, and theory book to their first lesson. The information on where to find these books will be given to you by your teacher. The cost of books are not included in tuition, it is up to the guardian/student to pay for the books.

Piano By Kate understands that the arts can be expensive and as such makes every attempt to keep costs for students and guardians to a minimum. If you have any questions or concerns about costs and book purchasing, please contact me by phone or email.
