Private Lessons

​

In the summer I teach piano (traditional and Suzuki), voice, all band instruments, and beginning guitar. This is a great time to explore different instruments without a yearly commitment.

​

You may also choose Virtual lessons on FaceTime, Messenger Chat, or Zoom.

​

You choose day, time and how many weeks. Some choose twice a week, some once a week, some 3 lessons spread over June and July.  I teach Mon thru Thur from 10 AM to 5:30 PM 

​

Tuition is $13 per 30 minute lesson. This includes SD tax.

​

Students taking lessons to prepare for Middle School or High School All State Band auditions can apply for scholarship of reduced tuition.
