I find an individual approach for every student. Creativity and being a fine musician is a part of a learning process.

To assure success in lessons, I would recommend to take early childhood music classes that prepare your child to play piano. Most of the younger children lack verbal skills necessary for piano instruction.

Q. Do I need a keyboard or a piano for my child or myself to practice lessons?
A. You need to have an acoustic, or at least an electric keyboard with a feel of a real piano for lessons. During the first year, if your budget is tight, a synthesizer will be enough. An electric keyboard is okay only
for the first year, buying either a good digital piano or accoustic piano
is encouraged during the second year of instrument study.

Q. How often will I need to tune my piano?
A. An acoustic piano requires tuning once or twice a year, an electric piano needs no tune-ups.

Q. How old should my child be to play a guitar?
A. Most of my guitar students start at age of eight and half, when they are ready for verbal instruction and have stronger fingers. You can buy child size insturuments at www.instrumentalsavings.com.

Q. Do I need to purchase any books?
A. Yes, You will need to purchase at least one book for your child or yourself.  I will provide additional supplementary materials are your/their  studies progress. 

Q. How often will I need to pay for lessons.
A. You can pay montly, biweekly or after every lessons.

Q. How much do you charge?
A. I charge $15 for children and $17 for adults for one 30 min lessons. Rates vary for one hour or 45 min. Voice lessons cost more than piano lessons becuse of additional piano playing on the part of a teacher.

Q. Can I pay with a check or cash?
A. Yes, you can pay either by cash or write a check.

Q. Where is a location of lessons?
A. Private lessons are at my home in Overland Park or your home (though the latter has very few openings and costs more).
