This policy has evolved from almost two decades of my private teaching experience as well as other piano studios throughout the United States. It aims to benefit your child's musical study every minute of every lesson.

The following represent questions many people ask before they decide to be studying:
1) Are there certain times of the year when one begins lessons?
Now is the best time. Patterns often suggest many people make the decision to begin at the end of a school year or just before school starts, but any time is good.
2) How do we schedule lessons? How often does my child have a lesson?
Lessons are scheduled on a weekly basis at a specific, consistent time. It is important they happen regularly and without interruption.
3) Do I simply sign up and have my child do an hour's lesson?
Lessons for young beginners are most often a half-hour in duration. It would be ideal if a beginner could take about two lessons a week, maybe 30 minutes each, but schedules most often do not permit that, however, sign early to reserve the spot.
4) Is this too much for my child or me?
A half-hour lesson works very well, considering it takes the time to sit properly at the piano and to review everything that was previously taught.
5) How much is my child supposed to practice?
A young beginner can often do everything required in the assignment in 15 to 20 minutes of practice, as long as the practice takes place on a daily basis. Older, more advanced students are advised to practice the amount of time equal to a lesson on a daily basis, although this often does not happen.
6) I want to take summers off.
I teach 12 months per year, excepting vacation time. Therefore, I understand the importance of family vacations and the fact that they provide indelible childhood memories, and will work with you to keep your vacation time as “untouchable”. Some families take considerable time to go to their homeland, and I most definitely work with them on those trips. However, numerous trips, weeks missed, or summers off will not work in my practice. Such a policy is not conducive to learning to play the piano and cannot be my policy when teaching piano is my main means of support.
7) Do your students enter competitions?
I consider competitions when viewed in a constructive way, are valuable as a means of measuring oneself, and most definitely a way to make connections and gain experience for entry to college, conservatory, and for a future career. Performing experience in competitions causes one’s ability to play before people to dramatically increase. Yes, my students participate in competitions and have won many of the ones they enter.
8) I do not want to enter competitions.
