About

Hi, I’m Clara.

I started teaching piano in my parents’ living room and never stopped. Today I teach about thirty students a week, from first-time six-year-olds to adults picking up the music they left behind.

Lessons balance real pieces with the reading, rhythm and technique that make the next piece easier. Every student plays in a relaxed recital twice a year.

Questions

Do we need a piano at home?

A full-size keyboard with weighted keys is fine to start.

What if we need to cancel?

Cancel at least 24 hours before and you get a makeup credit to book another time.

How does payment work?

A flat monthly rate, paid by Venmo, Zelle or cash. You get an invoice each month.
