Student Recital:
I offer a yearly student recital opportunity. It's not mandatory, but I do encourage students to participate. Taking part in a recital gives students an opportunity to perform, to show what they have learned, and for parents to see the progress from year to year. All are welcome.
The next student recital will be held in Nashua, NH in May of 2011.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Do I need a piano at home to practice on?
A. Students need some kind of keyboard or piano for daily practice at home. The general rule of thumb is that if you take a 30 minute weekly lesson, you should be practicing 30 minutes per day. If you take a 45 minute lesson, you should be practicing 45 minutes per day. If you take a 60 minute lesson, you should be practicing 60 minutes per day. For beginners, 30 minutes a day is sufficient.
Q. What kind of piano do I need?
A. Any kind of acoustic piano is fine, but many people start with digital keyboards. It is essential to have full sized keys. I recommend a keyboard with at least 61 keys as a student will outgrow a smaller keyboard very quickly. It is preferable to have a keyboard that is "touch sensitive." This means that the volume of the musical note will be louder with a harder finger strike and softer with a lighter finger strike. This is how all acoustic pianos work. However, you can start lessons with a keyboard that is not touch sensitive. It is preferable to have a keyboard that comes with a pedal or that can accept a pedal later on. Again, you can start without a pedal, but you will be able to use the keyboard longer if it can accept a sustain pedal later on. Sustain pedals are not expensive to add later.
Q. Is my child ready for lessons?
A. I prefer to take students 6 years old and later. However, some five year olds are ready, and occasionally a four year old may be ready for lessons. I don't go purely by age because every child is different, and I am happy to try a child out in lessons as a trial. Some things to keep in mind:
1) Lessons are 30 minutes. Can the student concentrate on one subject for 30 minutes?
2) Are the student's fingers large enough to fit on the keys so that one finger can be on a single white key?
3) Does the student know his or her alphabet at least A-G and numbers 1-10?
4) Can the student write letters and numbers?
5) Parents of children under 6 years of age are required to attend all lessons.
