Why take private lessons?Music education can build coordination and concentration; develop discipline and perseverance; activate creative thinking, problem solving, self-expression and self-confidence. Private lessons provide one-on-one attention in a safe environment that allows you to explore your individual skills and technique while having fun in the process!
-
Who are private lessons good for?Everybody! I teach children and adults at all ages and levels. Private lessons are not just for beginners or students who may need extra help to improve; they are also ideal for intermediate and advanced players looking to receive individualized instruction to progress further and stay challenged—those just wanting to play for personal enjoyment, too!
