Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do I need my own piano to start lessons?
While having your own piano is beneficial, it is not necessary to start lessons. I will guide you on the best options for practicing without your own piano.
What ages do you teach?
I offer lessons for all ages, starting from as young as four years old to adults of any age.
How often should I take lessons?
Most students benefit from weekly lessons, but we can tailor the frequency to suit your personal goals and schedule.
How long should I practice at home?
The best practice time depends on level and goals. Daily consistency beats long, infrequent sessions. Targeted, slow work on small sections beats "playing through" for an hour.
How do I know if I am practicing the right amount?
Simply put, you will recognize the right amount if you notice weekly, noticeable improvement in smoothness and tempo or fewer stops during run-throughs.
