Do we need a piano for my child to take lessons?
This is a tricky one, because the answer is both yes and no. A well-maintained acoustic piano will always be better than an electric piano, but if you don’t already have a piano, they are quite expensive. If you don’t have a piano, an electric piano (keyboard) will do. Regardless of what type of piano or electric keyboard you have, you need one with 88 keys, it needs to be touch-sensitive (the harder you play the louder it sounds), and you need a sustain pedal.
What days of the week do you teach lessons?
Lessons are only on Mondays.
How old does my child have to be to take lessons?
The youngest student should at least be in kindergarten, but first grade and older are best, because students have learned how to sit still and concentrate for longer periods of time. It is helpful if students are able to read at a basic level.
How long are piano lessons?
Lessons are either 30 or 45-minutes, depending on preference and skill level. More advanced students need 45-minute lessons. Sometimes 45-minute lessons are recommended if a student gets off topic easily or needs a slower paced lesson.
When, and how, do I pay for lessons?
Lesson payments are due at the first lesson of every month. Payments can be made by check or with cash.
What if my child has to miss a lesson?
Please notify us as soon as possible if your child will miss a lesson for any reason. Lessons are not rescheduled, and payment for the missed lesson is still due.
How often are piano lessons?
Lessons are on Mondays, about three Mondays per month. We do our best to schedule lessons around the Williamson County school calendar, but it is your responsibility to keep track of the piano lesson calendar.
What if there is inclement weather on a piano lesson day?
If schools are closed, there are no lessons. Lessons will be rescheduled on a case by case basis.
