Private Piano Lessons

Private lessons are intended for students who are dedicated to practicing a minimum of 30 minutes a day, 6 days a week, with parental help. Private students often take part in recitals, exams, and competitions.

Students enjoy playing a combination of classical and pop music, and are encouraged to play music that interests them. Music Theory, Ear Training, and Sight Reading are also an integral part of our lessons.

Lessons with Emma are $60/30 minutes, $90/45 minutes, or $120/60 minutes. Piano lessons are offered for intermediate to advanced students of all ages.

Lessons with Ben are $50/30 minutes. Piano lessons are specialized for beginners to early intermediate students of all ages.

Recitals

Students have the opportunity to perform throughout the school year at two studio recitals, community service recitals, MTAC All-Level recitals, the Bach Festival Young Artists Showcase, and the MTAC Piano Scholarship Auditions for cash prizes.

Certificate of Merit and ABRSM

Emma has served on the Board of Directors for the Music Teachers' Association of California, Monterey, and as Branch Chair for the Certificate of Merit Evaluations. Students who would like to participate must be registered during the month of September. As of 2023, students can choose between in-person or online testing. For more information, please visit the MTAC website.

ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) exam preparation is also offered. These are year round and can be taken when the student is ready. Exams can be done in-person or online. For more information, please visit the ABRSM website.

In order to cover all of the necessary material each week (Technique, Sight Reading, Repertoire, Theory, and Ear Training), students in Prep Level - Level 2 must have at least a 45-minute lesson; students in Level 3 and above must have a 60-minute lesson.

Charter Schools

We're vendors with Ocean Grove Charter School, and Yosemite Valley Charter School. We're happy to work with homeschooling families to set up a PO for lessons or group classes.

Trial Lessons

Prospective students are encouraged to attend a trial lesson prior to committing to a block of lessons.

The Trial Lesson Fee is the same as a half-hour lesson.
