I teach piano lessons in Charlotte, NC and help people to learn piano in an easy, fun and cost effective way. I teach kids' piano lessons and adult piano lessons either in-home or at my studios. I also give private online piano lessons through webcam. Contact me if you or your kids want to learn how to play piano. Let's schedule a FREE trial lesson!

 

 

Lesson & Practice

Lesson and Practice Recommendations:

  • Lessons In-Home should be free of distractions, such as TV, siblings, and cell phones.

  • For kids under 6 yrs old, I may ask the parent to sit-in during lesson time.

  • Homework will be given after each lesson for students to practice during the week.

  • Parents are encouraged to help establish, and stick to, a practice routine. Practice time must be free of distractions.

  • Students should practice at least 3 to 4 times each week. The goal is to practice the homework assigned for the week to a relatively fluent level before next week's lesson. 

  • Students who successfully finish their designated pieces of challenge will be invited to play in semi-annual recitals. 

Instrument Recommendations:

  • While a piano is always the best choice for a piano students, for complete beginners, a lower-end keyboard is also good to learn the fundamentals of notes, sight reading and basic hand coordination. You can easily find a keyboard under $200 online or at your local music store, e.g., Guitar Center or Sam Ash. 

  • For students that have been learning for more than half a year, I strongly recommend purchasing a real acoustic piano, or at least an electronic keyboard with heavy-weighted and touch-sensitive keys.
