Common Questions

How much do piano lessons cost?

Lesson rates vary based on length and frequency. Contact me for current pricing — I offer single lessons and discounted packages.

Do I need my own piano at home?

Having a keyboard or piano at home for practice is strongly recommended. Even an affordable 61-key keyboard works great for beginners. I can help you choose the right instrument for your budget.

What ages do you teach?

I teach students of all ages — kids, teens, and adults. My youngest students are typically 6-7 years old, and there's no upper limit. Many of my adult students are beginners, and that's totally fine.

Do you teach online lessons?

Yes! I offer both in-person lessons at my West Hollywood studio and online lessons via Zoom or FaceTime. Online works surprisingly well for piano with the right setup.

What styles of piano do you teach?

Classical, jazz, pop, R&B, film scoring, and music theory. I also incorporate music production for students interested in creating their own music.
