You can’t dedicate time between lessons to practicing your assigned pieces.
- It's best to take lessons only when you can commit to regular practice. Inconsistent dedication may lead to the development of unhealthy habits that are difficult to break.
Improvisation or jazz is what you’re interested in learning.
- My lessons are heavy in reading and technique training, with a basis in classical repertoire.
You’re looking for lessons in which you could learn via osmosis.
- i.e., You’re just looking for some relaxing musical time in your life.
Therapy is what you’re seeking primarily out of music lessons.
- Music lessons can never replace therapy. Music therapy might, which is not my expertise.
You’re not interested in learning how to read music; your goal is to learn how to play just a song or two through imitation or by ear.
You don’t want to be ‘stressed out’ from piano lessons.

I’ll be a good match for you if…

You are interested in learning about music theory and how to apply that knowledge to interpreting pieces as a pianist.
You would like to develop good practice habits and healthy technique.
You are self-motivated. (You will have no problem keeping up with practicing between lessons.)
You are communicative.
You are detail-oriented.
You understand that learning requires the input of your effort.
You appreciate someone who is factual and gets straight to the point.
