Frequently Asked Questions

Do i need to own a piano for lessons?

While you don’t need to own a piano, you need access to one so that you can practice in between each session. This can be an acoustic piano or a keyboard - as long as the keyboard has 88 weighted keys and a pedal. We always help students with instruments.
If you’re unsure about purchasing one or want to wait, you can also rent a keyboard from the music store Long and McQuade for as low as $46/month - message us for more info!

what are your rates?

Prices range between $152-$304 per month, depending on the length of the lesson (30min, 45 min or 60 min weekly). Contact us so we can give you an accurate quote! Tuition includes special perks like discounts on books, recitals, etc - see our “About” page for more info! Our prices reflect the quality of work and high dedication we offer to each student.
