Good to know

Trial lesson

Free and without obligation, arranged at least one day in advance. Beforehand we have a short phone call about goals, experience, time and place. In the trial lesson we see together whether it fits – motivation, concentration, respect for the instrument and of course getting along.

Instrument

You need nothing for the trial lesson. In the long run you need a piano at home or a good digital piano with 88 weighted keys. A keyboard is not enough – it has fewer keys and a different touch.

After the trial lesson

I recommend lessons of 30 or 45 minutes, once or twice a week. We agree on the price personally.

Payment

Four lessons are booked together and paid in advance, in cash or by bank transfer.

Cancelling and rescheduling

Please cancel at least 24 hours before the lesson, otherwise it will be charged. In a real emergency, reported at least three hours in advance, I will reschedule or make up the lesson as a courtesy. Paid lessons are not refunded but can be transferred to family or friends.

Ill?

Please don't come to lessons when you are ill, not even with a cold. Let me know in advance – often we can have the lesson online instead.

Punctuality

Lessons are not extended if you arrive late.

What to bring

Sheet music, printed worksheets and a pencil. And short fingernails.

Online lessons

Before the lesson, position the camera so that your hands on the keys are visible from the side. Have your music, a pencil and some coloured pencils ready and wait for my call.

Practice

Daily practice is part of success – a little every day is better than a lot once a week.
