The following are the major subject areas that are offered for private instruction, which include piano lessons, composition lessons, improvisation lessons, and more!

There is usually some overlap, based upon the student’s needs or interests. It is also possible to combine multiple areas of study at once – which I fully support, in order to obtain a well-rounded, holistic music education.

Music Instruction – At Studio or In-Home

Private instruction is available for each subject area, in-person. Most students choose to commute to my location in Falls Church, VA. I can commute within the Northern VA/MD/D.C. area to students that are unable to commute to me, but I charge extra for the commute. For more details, please see my pricing and scheduling policies.

Remote Music Instruction Available

Remote private instruction through Skype is also available for music composition lessons, music theory lessons, and music history lessons. Remote instruction tends to work well for these subjects because they do not require physical interaction (such as correcting hand positioning during piano lessons).

I have had success with composition and theory students that take lessons remotely – from both inside and outside the United States. Remote instruction works through a combination of email exchange, voice/video chat, file exchange, and screen-sharing.

Remote Piano Lessons – Not Available

Teaching piano lessons remotely would be possible, if the student had several webcams in place, so that the teacher could view the the student’s posture from multiple angles. The microphone would also need to have high sound quality without any delay or inconsistency in transmission – which is not feasible with current affordable technology.
