Technology has allowed me to continue teaching students when geography or health made it impossible, and it's also enabled me to share my love of music with students I otherwise would never have met. I'm happy to use technology to help you on your musical journey.
Online lessons are conducted via Zoom (best connection). Payment is accepted via check, card, or online payment system (including Square, Paypal, and Venmo - subject to 4% processing fee).
Starting from scratch with online music lessons works great for students who can already read music, have some basic musical experience, and/or are around age 10 or above. I've also been able to work with students around age 8 and up if they've studied music in person before and/or have a parent available during the lesson to assist with hand placement and note reading at the beginning.
AVAILABILITY
Online lessons can be flexible - we can stick to a regularly-scheduled lesson time if you wish, or we can book them a-la-carte, as schedules permit. I've found the flexible-schedule option to be a great option, especially for busy adult students. Online lessons are available Monday-Thursday (same as in-home lessons).
TUITION
Tuition for online lessons begins at $25/30 minute lesson. Please contact me for detailed tuition information for online lessons. Online lesson tuition does not factor in the cost of travel/gas and I do not have the advantage of being able to move the students' hands/adjust technique in person. I also offer a recording of online lessons, emailed via Dropbox within 24 hours of the lesson, for an additional $5 per recording. This allows students to rewind and revisit sections while they practice.
VALUE
Online real-time music lessons provide great value as I can offer feedback on hand position, rhythm, technique, and more, all at the time you're playing. Working with pre-recorded lessons can be a great starting point, but live virtual one-on-one music lessons allow me to continue to tailor each lesson to you, your goals, and your needs, while also offering live feedback and pointers to help you improve during your practice.
