About My Lessons
My private lessons are fun and focused. We cover technique, posture, note reading, rhythm and expression, and I draw on my performance experience and early childhood education training to choose exercises and comparisons children understand. Lessons follow your child’s goals, whether they hope to join an orchestra or just want to try music.
How Lessons Work
