Music Lessons

Piano | Ear Training | Composition

Lessons are available at my home studio in Lyndhurst, OH or online.

I work with students who want to build real musical skills, whether playing music they love, understanding what they hear, or creating their own music.

Lesson Focus

Lessons are customized based on each student’s goals and may include:

Musicianship

  • Ear training (learning to recognize and follow musical parts by ear)

  • Harmony and theory

  • Improvisation

Creative Work

  • Composition and songwriting

  • Music production (recording, mixing, software instruments)

  • Scoring for film or games

Performance & Technique

  • Piano (classical, pop, jazz)

  • Sight reading

  • Accompanying

  • Performance skills (confidence, stage presence)

  • Postural awareness

Tuition & Billing

Lessons are billed as a flat monthly tuition, which reserves your weekly time slot.

  • All students are enrolled in automatic monthly billing

  • Bank transfer (ACH) is the standard payment method

  • Card payments are available if preferred

Lesson Structure

Students are assigned a consistent weekly lesson time following an initial onboarding meeting with a parent to review goals and structure.

Lesson length and frequency are adjusted based on age, attention span, and learning goals. Younger beginners (typically below 3rd grade) usually start with 30-minute lessons, and may in some cases benefit from twice-weekly lessons. Older or more advanced students typically use 45–60 minute lessons.

Students should have access to a piano or weighted keyboard, and consistent practice between lessons is expected.

What’s Included in Lessons

  • Weekly private lessons

  • Weekly practice notes and assignments after each lesson

  • Initial parent onboarding meeting before lessons begin

  • One progress check-in meeting per year (for continuing students)
