studio info
Music is a more potent instrument than any other for education. – Plato
Students ages five and above are welcome!
three options available
my studio
My home studio is in Grand Island, Florida. Some families choose to wait in the car during the lesson, while others make themselves at home in the living room. I have an upstairs loft complete with Legos and Play-Doh for those who choose not to stay downstairs enjoying the company of my three small dogs.
your home
I travel to the surrounding area on Thursdays and will teach in your home. If Grand Island is a little too far for you or you just don’t feel like loading all the kids in the car again, this is a great option.
virtual
Perhaps you are out of our surrounding area and neither of us can make the drive. Virtual lessons are also an option. I use RockOutLoud.Live for all virtual lessons, including the occasional group lesson. Click here for setup instructions.
Virtual lessons can also be used as an alternative to in-house lessons when sickness prevents travel.
Piano or keyboard
Do you need to have a piano in order to take lessons? The short answer is no. Keyboards are sufficient for practice, however, a piano is always preferred. There are several differences between a piano and keyboard. One of those differences is the ability to play different dynamics – that is, learning how to play loudly and softly. Budget friendly keyboards are unable to do this.

- If you are ready to take the leap, I would be happy to discuss with you other options available or give advice on how to shop for a piano.
