I do not offer trial lessons. Transparency is important. I welcome students of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, and experience levels. I maintain a full studio and am selective NOT about talent or ability, but about the commitment, mindset, and trust demonstrated by the student and parent.

When that commitment is present, I invest my full expertise, experience, and professional network ensuring every student's success. The reality is that regular instruction can cost far more in the long run than quality instruction, both in time and in a student's development. This is why students drive in traffic or even 2+ hours (from Sacramento) for weekly lessons. Tuition reflects not only my time and attention, but also years of expertise, experience, and a proven track record of results (planning for college audition, yearly competitions, or being able to sightread any music with ease etc…)

Private lessons can be expensive, but the gift of music lasts a lifetime and can never be taken away.

Here are my rates!
