  FAQ       

  • Will Lessons be Remote or In Person?
    I prefer in person, especially for piano, with social distancing, since the tone and quality of playing and showing examples is lower quality over Zoom. School subjects over Zoom with a a webcam and shared materials is easier; however, in person is always better for communication.
  • What is in your Studio?
    I have two pianos: a Parlour Grand Mason & Hamlin and an upright cabinet grand Sohmer which are in tune and used for playing examples and duets. I also have rhythm instruments, and many different teaching method books which I tailer for each student. Also, I use the Oregon Music Teachers Association Syllabus materials for annual assessments and certification if the student or family desires. These help give goals and show progress.
  • What materials do you use for Math and SAT/ACT test prep?
    For math tutoring, I start with the students' textbooks and supplement with many other texts, websites, and teaching aids. I always do a basic math assessment and add materials to buikd missing math skills such as memorizing math facts and formulas. For SAT and ACT prep, I use Kaplan and College Board materials. I have taught week-long courses for standardized test prep and individualized instruction. For language arts students, I use their course materials and supplement with grammar, vocabulary and spelling workbooks.
  • Do you have any pets in the Studio?
    I have a black poodle, named Lucky, who is of a hypoallergenic breed, kid friendly, and very clean. She will not be present in the studio durring sessions.
