Besides Kindermusik classes in the schools,
I teach private "Tiny Fingers" 30 minute piano lessons in person at my home and on FaceTime and Zoom meetings. Your child will start playing songs on their second lesson! You will be amazed! I teach children as early as 3 years old and as old as 12 years old (with exceptions based on maturity and interest) For the summer, I can teach during the day while the children are out of school. I may also offer a weekly summer camp for small groups of children based on interest level. I only teach beginning piano and move the children to a new teacher for the next level.
In Tiny Fingers Piano, my style is based on your child's hobbies and passions (these vary from transportation to building castles to princesses and puzzles!) I charge only $20 for a half hour lesson (much less than studios in the area) and also give a sibling rate of $15 each for both lessons scheduled back to back. On the initial evaluation, the family will get together and we will discuss your child's interests and design an individualized program for your child.
I open up each lesson focusing on the "game table" . I present theory for the first fifteen minutes based on your child and their decisions of direction. Of course, music theory is introduced through every activity and you will see that your child will learn concepts way before they will even address it in their piano book. When your child gets to the concepts and skills presented in their piano book, they will already feel comfortable with it! The last 15 minutes of the lesson are spent playing the piano/keyboard!
Remember, your child will start playing songs at the second lesson! 90% of my students play on a keyboard and are taught on the keyboard so you don't have to run out and spend alot of money on a piano. I encourage my families to take their time watching their child progress on the keyboard before making a large investment on the piano. The children share their talents in a special recital in the winter and spring at different country clubs in the area.
I look forward to sharing my knowledge, techniques, and joy for music with your child! Feel free to call me for a free evaluation and free mini lesson any time!
