MUSIKIDZ

You can start at age 3 and up. MusiKidz teaches beginners, intermediate students, advanced students, teens, and adults.

Piano/Voice lessons vary in time length. I teach lessons in 30 min. and 60 min. increments. Both beginner and advanced students can sign up for either one, but most of my advanced students prefer 60 min. since the musical pieces they practice have a higher difficulty level and require them to practice for a longer time period.

Piano & Voice lessons are held once per week. You can register for more lessons per week if desired.

I teach at my home studio (MusiKidz Piano Studio).

Yes, I am willing to travel if students register for home lessons.

Yes, students must have an instrument at home to begin piano or voice lessons. I highly encourage students and parents to invest in a digital keyboard that has 88 weighted keys or an acoustic piano.

Yes, lessons are offered during the summer. However, due to family vacations, summer camps, and other activities, summer lessons can be tailored to student availability.

Yes. Recitals can be scheduled 1-2 a year. Students also have competition opportunities by signing up for the “MusicStars Competition” online through “MakingMusicFun.net”. Also, since I am a Steinway & Sons Educational Partner, we can hold recitals at most Steinway locations when available. "Coconut Point Mall" and "The Alliance for the Arts - Foulds Theatre" are other performance opportunities included in my studio. These recitals provide students with a tangible goal and a keen sense of accomplishment and pride in music making. As my studio grows and more students register, I will create online groups so that my students have the opportunity to perform in front of each other through live social media.

Look for a teacher whose style fits your goals, age, and learning pace. Ask about experience, lesson format, and expectations. The right teacher should feel like a good fit for you or your child.

In my studio, you do not need to purchase method books for the first piano or voice orientation. After the initial lesson, I will send you the required books to purchase by e-mail or text.

Reading music can seem like a daunting task to both adult and child students. Is it absolutely essential? For some students, it isn't because they are exceptionally good at playing by ear. However, by far the better answer is to learn how to read music, even if you discover that you are quite good at playing by ear. When you know how to read music, you have a reliable, standardized method for understanding music, how it should be played, and how it should sound. Learning to read music is a lot like learning to read. The more practical approach is for each individual to learn to read the words themselves rather than having someone else read aloud while the listener tries to memorize all the words in the story. Learning to read music can seem intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. Anyone can learn to read music, especially if they are determined to do so. Your piano instructor will definitely help with this. You have the option of using online resources, flashcards, and other resources to further your study. Reading music may be the key to a greater understanding of the piano, so don't let a little trepidation stop you.

While it would be nice to say that there is a magic number at which piano lessons should begin, the reality is much more complicated. Some children excel in piano lessons at the age of three or four, but some pupils of 70 have done just as well. There is no such thing as the "best age” for learning to play the piano. All that is really needed is the desire and a willingness to put in the effort.

You cover the basics and build skills step by step. Lessons can include ear training, rhythm, note reading, practice habits, technique, posture, and hand position. For younger students, you may also use games and simple activities to make learning clear and engaging. The focus depends on your age and level.

Daily practice is best. The amount depends on the student's age and level, but short, regular practice works well.
