Personalized Video Lessons
|
In addition to teaching live Zoom lessons, I am now accepting a limited amount of students via the unique Personalized Correspondence Method. Pioneered by my good friend, jazz pianist & educator Dan Delaney over 30 years ago, this system is much more effective than in person or zoom lessons. The Personalized Correspondence combines the best of the live lesson experience with the best of an online course by including videos and PDFs to match all the lesson content. This is an experience and delivery not seen in the instructional marketplace. Email me directly if you're interested or to set up a FREE ZOOM meeting and lesson assessment where I can answer any questions about how the Personalized Correspondence works.

BI-WEEKLY - $200/month Video lessons run as much as 1.5 hrs in length depending on the student. This is my most elite offering which will contain a full 2 weeks worth of lesson material or more. One can expect to receive maximum growth when using this program. Every 2 weeks you will submit your lesson files by Monday @ 9am (via YouTube link or Google Drive/Dropbox files) and by the Wednesday of that week I will send you your personalized 15 minute video as well as additional videos and PDFs from my library to match the lesson content. As a student working with this program, I am available for you via email with any questions you may have while practicing. We will become great friends as we work together and I can assure you full personal involvement with loads of information. MONTHLY - $100/month This plan works exactly like the bi-weekly plan however it is allowing more time to pass between lessons for those exceptionally busy people who want to make the piano a part of their lives but may have work or personal things that may not allow bi-monthly corresponding. |

The Benefits
MORE CONVENIENT
You never have to leave your home. Unlike an in-person lesson there is no fighting traffic and unlike a live zoom lesson there is no moving schedules to conform around lesson times. You are now able to have a professional pianist work personally with you in the comfort of your own home.
MORE FLEXIBLE
Feel free to practice as you find the time as little or as much as you wish. Again, you have the ability to have that lesson over and over again, a luxury any musician would love to have. This is what sets this method apart! It is far superior to an in-person or live lesson.
MORE THOROUGH
The Personalized Correspondence Method is more comprehensive than a live lesson could ever be. To watch your instructor play your entire lesson for you as well as having explicit detailed exercise PDF handouts would take a full day lesson. You now have both valuable resources available for your constant review, over and over again.
MORE AFFORDABLE
At only $100/month, the Monthly Correspondence Lessons are much more affordable and more effective than weekly live piano lessons that may cost upwards of $80/week.
IN CLOSING
This is an experience and delivery not seen in the instructional marketplace. Through this method, I determine where you’re at on your musical path and develop a step-by-step plan that systematically builds on top of each other. You’ll work hard, but you’ll never feel overwhelmed or lost. You get to experience the best of the live lesson experience with the best of an online course by including videos and PDFs from my library to match all the lesson content. And if you have questions, I am only an email away.
