Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fee for lessons?
- Fees can be discussed with me personally. Many factors are considered when assessing the fee, including the student's level (beginner? advanced?), frequency of lessons, private or group lessons. I will work with you on this.
Do you offer trial lessons?
- Yes. I offer one trial lesson free of charge for up to 30 minutes (1 lesson). This only applies to new students receiving instruction at my home studio.
What equipment do I need?
- I strongly recommended playing on an acoustic piano over keyboard because it allows for a more complete music making experience and strengthens fingers/arm better than a keyboard.
- Besides a piano, I also recommend purchasing a metronome. Metronomes help students develop a steady sense of rhythm, and helps in keeping the tempo of a piece of music.
How do I help my child with his/her piano lessons?
- Encouragement and praise goes a long way in building a student's confidence. Also set aside a specific time to practice every day. This helps your child with developing a sense of routine, and is the best way to improve in his/her piano studies.
Final Tip
- Listening to and reading about different types of music such as classical, pop, jazz, and others is a great way to develop you or your child's music education. Consequently, you or your child will understand and enjoy the lessons and playing piano more!
