I am pleased to offer piano and theory lessons throughout the school year. The following is the recommended lesson length based on age/level:
- Beginner = 30 min: 6-11 years old; Piano Adventures Course – 30 minutes
- Intermediate = 45 min: 12-15 years old; Grade 1 to Grade 4 RCM – 45 Minutes
- Advance = 60 min: 15+; Grade 5 and up RCM – 1 hour
- Adult Students = 60 min
Please note: this is a general guide based on age of student; student’s goals, experience, interest and level of playing will ultimately affect recommended lesson length
