Question 1

What happens in the free lesson?

Accepted Answer

It's about 15 minutes, over Zoom. I'll ask what you want to play and where you're starting from, you can ask me anything, and we'll figure out together whether I'm the right teacher for you. Nothing to prepare and no obligation to sign up after.

Question 2

What ages do you teach?

Accepted Answer

I teach from about 4th grade on up, including plenty of adults who are starting later than they wish they had. If your child is younger, reach out anyway and we'll talk about whether they're ready.

Question 3

Do I need any prior experience?

Accepted Answer

No. Most of my students started with none. Beginning from scratch is an advantage, because we get to build the right habits before any bad ones set in. I also work with players who have hit a plateau and want a way through it.

Question 4

What if my child doesn't want to practice?

Accepted Answer

That usually means the music isn't theirs yet. When a student picks what they're working on, practice stops feeling like a chore. I build lessons around what they actually want to play, and that's what keeps them coming back.

Question 5

How do online lessons work?

Accepted Answer

We meet on Zoom. After each lesson I send you a summary of what we covered and what to practice, plus any chord charts or sheet music you need.

Question 6

How often should I take lessons?

Accepted Answer

Once a week works best for most students. It gives you enough time to practice between sessions without losing momentum. That said, I'm flexible, and we can work out what fits your schedule.

Question 7

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Accepted Answer

Life happens. I ask for at least 24 hours notice to reschedule or cancel. Lessons cancelled with less than 24 hours notice may be charged in full.
