Essential Information
Potential students will be invited to observe lessons with other students before beginning. Parents will be invited to meet with me before a student begins.
All lessons are taught in my home studio where I have two pianos. Lessons are weekly.
Payments are made termly by bank transfer.
Attendance is required at private lessons, group lessons, and concerts. Missed lessons cannot be refunded.
The role of parents in the Suzuki method is not to be underestimated. Parents must attend lessons, practice with their child daily, and ensure that the recording is listened to daily. Parents do not need to have musical experience, but should come prepared to sit at the piano and learn a bit, to better help their children at home.
I also teach adults. Please contact me.

Parents
Suzuki parents create a home environment in which the techniques learned in lessons can be practiced daily. Parents must provide their time and attention for daily music practice with their child and a positive, encouraging environment.
At lessons, I set practice points and goals. Parents help their child repeat the practice points at home. To do this, they must attend lessons and take notes. Eventually, music students can practice on their own, but in the beginning, the Suzuki Method relies on the mutually-supportive triangle of parent, child, and teacher.
