Rates, Payment Policies, Lesson Times, Other Information

• Rates vary due to the highly diverse nature of the professional curriculum presented, but generally range from $75.00 for 45 minutes to $100.00 an hour. In financial hardship cases, we often will supply a scholarship dependent on the situation.
  
• All applicants may request a free initial meeting on ZOOM where we can meet and figure out what your educational needs are and how I can assist you in reaching your goals..
• I run my program like a University Program but at a fraction of the cost. Think of being my student as a chance with working with the highest level teacher you would find at a University. But if you are working with me you can study a combined curriculum which may be more convenient for you rather than having to go building to building and class to class.
  
• I teach lessons on Zoom now and in person at Classic Pianos Denver in 2026. Time slots are flexible and we'll work it out to suit your needs.
• If you would like to work with me, you can send me a video of yourself playing and I will review it and email you back. I am open to creating any type of curriculum you might need as every person is different with different needs.
  
• Email for more info.
  
• Students buy and I reserve their time slot in advance. There is a 48 hour cancellation policy. Payments are monthly on the first of the month.
  
• Materials-Dependent on what your musical needs are, I will determine what material you will need to purchase for your area of study. With over 40,000 hours of teaching experience, I wil be able to spot your weaknesses and assess your needs very quickly.  You will need to get books I recommend.  Every week, you will need to be prepared to take notes in whatever manner works best for you. I will often recommend important books, recordings, websites, theoretical ideas and possibly other teachers to support your individual needs as a growing musician and performer.
  
• I do not allow visitors to observe, take notes or join you at a private lesson unless they are taking lessons with you. My instruction can be fast paced, and I will need your undivided attention for you to receive full benefit of my expertise.
