Private lessons begin with a 30-minute consultation to determine the participant's level and goals.  Together, the participant and the teacher will identify an agenda, a practice commitment and schedule, choice of music style, and the type of support needed for the year. Private Piano Lessons are offered in 8-week sessions. There will be a winter and spring recital scheduled to highlight our music students accomplishments.
After you register call:  Lisa Zupon 513-728-4266 to schedule a time for your 30-minute private lesson.

ArtsConnects' top priority is the health and safety of our students and staff.  There will be a large plastic partition in-between the student and instructor and they will be seated 6 ft apart.  For those not ready to do in-person lessons yet, we also offer online Zoom lessons.  Participants will need to download the free program - Zoom onto their computer or Ipad prior to the first class.  Participants will receive an invitation link with specific instructions on how to join each class.

When registering you need to select in-person or online. You may change this at anytime during the session.

We will consult with each other on your progress and provide evaluations throughout the process.

If you decide after a 8-week session to continue lessons then we can include you in:

  • Bi-annual recitals and

    an award for your progress!
