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. Lessons are $30 per lesson for an 8-week session.

Hello!
We are pleased you are joining us for piano lessons at ArtsConnect!

When you begin your lessons, we will evaluate your musical skills before starting lessons. Together, we will determine whether you will study with Dr. John or Ms. Suzanne. A program tailored to your skill level will be developed for you with materials that we can offer to you. 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
  • MTNA festival auditions opportunity to earn
    an award for your progress!
  • Other opportunities may arise for you as well.
