1. Do we have to have a piano?
Yes. If you don't have one, you can rent one for 6 month with
an option to purchase. An electric piano is not a substitution.
2. Can you help us choose a good piano?
Absolutely. I can recommend a brand which matches your budget,
and I can help you choose one.
3. Can we miss a lesson?
Only if you are sick. You must let me know AT LEAST 24 HOURS
IN ADVANCE. If you don't notify me, you are responsible for
the lesson fee.
4. Where do we perform, and how often?
We have 1-2 big recitals each year (at Steinway Hall and/or
Carnegie Hall). We also have smaller neighborhood concerts at
students' apartments.
5. Do your children have a "musical" future?
Yes. They have the potential to audition for the Manhattan School
of Music or Julliard School. I prepare the program and train
the students.
6. Do we continue to take lessons during the summer?
Summer lessons are optional. Generally, my schedule is flexible
in June and July.
7. Do you teach students to read notes?
Yes. One of my goals is to teach students how to site read.
