Teaching Philosophy
In my teaching, I firmly believe in laying a solid foundation for every aspiring piano player. To reach the top, we must take the time to understand and master key factors and the basics. It's like building a sturdy structure - step by step, we'll progress towards excellence. I'll focus on guiding you through hand adjustments, honing techniques, and unraveling the mysteries of music notes, keys, and terminologies. By nurturing this strong groundwork, we'll pave the way for your growth as a pianist.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
