Private Piano and Violin Lessons for all ages.

General Info

Private piano, violin, cello, viola, and bass lessons for all ages. Weekly lessons are 30, 45, 60 minute lessons (depending on skill level and experience), and I give prizes, rewards, incentives for practicing and achievement (Music needs to be FUN). I charge $40/hour, so for a 30 minute lesson once a week, it's $80/4 week month, $100/5 week month. If you can't come to me, I WILL COME TO YOU for a $10 trip charge each trip.

(It's a bit demanding, and sometimes it stresses the kids out, so I offer it, but don't require it.)
