Private piano lessons, with four Tracks of Study to choose from. Piano Skills is module to module for the student who wants to learn it all. Improvise & Create is lead sheet and chord chart style with improvisation. Church Skills is worship music in that same style. Piano for Percussionists builds the music reading, hand coordination, and basic musicianship you need for percussion or a drum line in as short a time as possible.

Lessons are private, one-on-one, and once a week. Younger students are generally in 30 minute lessons. Adults and more advanced students can choose 45 or 60 minutes as their music calls for it.

Tuition is averaged into 11 monthly payments across the studio year, and all lesson materials are included. A 30 minute lesson is $110.00 a month, 45 minutes is $165.00, and 60 minutes is $220.00. Holidays and studio breaks are already deducted, so the amount stays the same every month, and August is a sabbatical month with no tuition due. The full breakdown is in the studio policy.

The studio uses a management system with an autopay feature that runs at the beginning of each month. Nothing to remember, nothing to mail.

No long term commitment, and nothing to buy in a block. Every family reads the studio policies, completes an enrollment form, and signs that they agree to what they have read. Tuition is month to month. If you decide to discontinue lessons, I only ask for 30 days notice so I have time to fill that spot.

Unfortunately not, and the reason is the lessons themselves. Because every lesson plan is designed for one specific student, each child in a family gets my full planning, designing, and teaching time. There is no shared prep work to discount.

The studio is gearing up to offer small group lessons, a piano club, in the fall based on interest. If that sounds like your kind of thing, mention it in the form and I will add you to the list.

If a student misses, I create a video lesson they can watch. You are welcome to message me with questions or send a video of you playing for me to evaluate, so progress keeps going. If I have to miss, we reschedule or I offer a credit.

In-studio lessons are here in Monument, Colorado. Online lessons happen wherever you are, which works well for families in Gleneagle, Palmer Lake, Woodmoor, the Colorado Springs area, and beyond.

Yes. To make progress, the skills taught in the lesson have to be played out at home until they are permanent in the mind and under the fingers. An acoustic piano or a digital keyboard with fully weighted keys and a sustain pedal will do it. A small unweighted keyboard will hold a student back.

I provide all of it: method books, theory, solos, pop music, holiday pieces, and whatever else a student needs along their journey. All you bring is a 3 ring binder to add the new material to each week.

Yes. Every student is guided in reading sheet music, lead sheets, and chord charts depending on the track they choose. Everyone gets exposure to all of these skills, in the way that serves their own desires and goals.

Yes. Theory is the backbone of music, and it is also one of the more boring parts, so I teach it in streamlined, easier to understand ways and then back it up by playing it out on the instrument. It does no good living only on a worksheet. We reinforce it with games, apps, and some healthy, fun competition.

Yes, a meet and greet. You get to see the studio, get a feel for how we would proceed, ask any questions you have, and we both find out whether we are a good fit. No pressure either way.

Yes, a yearly concert that may land in the fall, at Christmas, or in the spring, rotating from year to year. All students are invited to participate, but nobody is forced. Music is meant to be celebrated, not endured. There are 3 to 4 recital times to choose from, each capped at 15 students to keep it enjoyable, with snacks and chat time afterward.
