Judy's Piano Studio-- Making piano instruction enjoyable
Philosophy
Because of the
fast pace of life in our community it is important that we all have creative
outlets. Piano is one such activity and my goal is to help children and adults
have a positive experience learning to play the piano. Through
learning in a relaxed, caring, family environment with positive incentives, the
students develop positive attitudes about playing the piano which they carry
into their future.
Lessons
I work with
beginning to mid-intermediate students starting at age five. Advanced intermediate
and higher students (usually 2-3 years after starting) will be referred to
other excellent teachers. All lessons
are at my home. Lessons are 1/2 hour
sessions per week and cost $25 per lesson. Materials fee is $10/month and I
supply all the materials. The fees are due at the beginning of the
month and cancellations or no-shows can be rescheduled. Absences are
not charged if scheduled at least a day in advance or if the student gets sick
at the last minute. Cash, checks and credit cards are accepted Students are
expected to practice their pieces every day at home between lessons and parents
are strongly encouraged to support this, even by simply sitting with them while
they play.
Piano instruction
starts at the beginning of September and ends in May. We will have a
recital at the end of the instructional year where each student will play and
family and friends will be able to attend.
