- Adjunct Suzuki teacher for a local private school.
- College instructor for piano classes.

FAQs
When to Start?
Too soon?
Any age is a good age to start. Generally a six year old student has the language skills and focus to succeed.
Too late?
It’s never too late to start! Adults with or without prior musical backgrounds often feel enriched through piano study.
When to Practice?
How long?
Two, 15-minute practice sessions daily is sufficient for a beginner to see progress.
Schedule it
Build it in. Regular practice leads to piano playing fun, but it is less likely to happen on it’s own./p>
Where to Begin?

Set up a comfortable location in your home to practice.

Susan, I love taking lessons with you. You make it fun, as well as challenging, and I wouldn’t continue with any teacher who didn’t make me feel great about what I was doing.
