Piano Instruction

Individual Piano Instruction

Ann and our affiliate instructors offer individualized piano lessons tailored to each student's skills, experience, and personal style. We currently offer on-line lessons and (circumstances permitting) in-person lessons.

Health and safety

For all in-person lessons (when available), instructors will observe recommended COVID safety precautions, and we ask that students/parents do so also in order to create a safe environment for all instructors and students.
