Instruction
Professional piano instruction is offered for students of any level, ages 4 to adult.
Lessons are available in the City of Alexandria, Virginia (close to the King Street
Metro) and in the Seven Corners area of Falls Church. Lessons are predominantly
private one-on-one instruction; however, occasional group classes and activities are
also available. Rates for lessons vary according to the location and the legnth of the
lesson.
It is the mission of the studio to educate all students, regardless of age or ability, so
that they may experience the fun and joy of making music and so that they may be
prepared for a lifetime of critical listening and appreciation. Students learn varied
repertoire, which includes classical, jazz, and contemporary styles, and, over time,
learn how these genres fit together, both historically and musically. Students gain
the necessary aural and technical skills to play the piano in a sophisticated and
credible manner, at any level of performance, from early elementary to advanced.
Music reading is a major part of any music education, and all students attain fluency
in music reading. Students learn to listen critically and to understand and identify
differences in genres and time periods. Students will attain an understanding of
music as part of the Western cultural heritage, and of their place in the perpetuation
of this part of the culture. And most of all, the process of acquiring these skills will
be fun and filled with the joy of small successes!
