Private Piano Lessons
I offer 45-minute private piano lessons for students aged 6 and up. Our core curriculum
uses the "Piano Pronto" series, which is suitable for both beginners and
transfer students. To enrich your piano study, I have a vast lending library that
includes a variety of classical, contemporary, jazz, and popular music selections.
Each lesson focuses on essential piano fundamentals such as theory and technique,
all while encouraging students to explore and play the music they love.

"My son isn't always easy to work with but Miss Barbara was able to find creative ways to help him through. He learned so much in the time he was able to spend with Miss Barbara. She worked with him at his own pace, he and I both appreciated that! She has such a great personality and even temperament, lessons were always pleasant." - Darci F.
