I charge $20/ half-hour lesson.
I collect tuition upfront at the beginning of the month.
There are no reimbursements or credits to the next month for cancelations. We can reschedule within the week if possible.
If you know ahead of time that you will be missing a lesson (i.e. vacation, appointment, etc) and can tell me at the beginning of the month, I will not charge you for the missed lesson.
We would typically have one lesson a week, unless you wish to have them more frequently.
I feel comfortable starting children at age 5 with piano lessons, and 6th grade with voice lessons.
Please feel free to post any questions or interest you may have! Have a great day!!!

My Credentials
I have my Bachelor of Music degree with a concentration in voice from Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina (a great school, and an all women’s college at that... yes, I went to an “all-girls school” and LOVED it!)
What does this degree mean? I was taught how to teach music! I had to learn how to play every instrument in a symphony orchestra and band. That includes guitar, cello, drums, bass, violin, trumpet, flute... I could go on and on, but you get the idea! I am able to teach any music class K-12 (general music, theory, band, choir, and individual lessons for any instrument including voice).
What have I done with this? I have my teaching credentials in the states of North Carolina and California. I taught private voice and piano lessons for 11 years and I was able to teach in the public school system until Kyle and I started our family.
My goal is to use these tools that I have learned to help children use music as an outlet to express themselves. I want my students to have a great time as they learn. I don't want to put too much stress on them, to the point where they are not enjoying themselves. When the child shuts down, they stop learning. Granted, I do have high expectations... I just go about them in a more light-hearted way. I hope to help build life-long supporters of music who may not grow up to be concert musicians, but will always be able to understand, appreciate, and love music!
