About Summer Lesson
Students are expected to continue lessons in the summer months. If you do not take at least six lessons during the summer term (May 20 - August 3), you may reserve a spot in my fall schedule by paying the $20 registration fee plus the first month's tuition by June 1st. This tuition will be applied to your August lessons, but is non-refundable if you change your mind.
If a student will be taking the entire summer off, such student's time slot may be reserved by paying for the time slot in full and in advance. I do not recommend this, however, since the student will lose so much progress during the hiatus. Nevertheless, the time slot will need to be filled unless the full fee is paid to reserve the time slot until the fall.
Termination of Lesson
If for any reason you are no longer able to keep up with your lessons, please let me know at least one week ahead of time. This will help me to rearrange my time and make it available for other students.
Additional Thoughts
I hope you will enjoy piano playing. I will always do my best to help you out with your questions. Please feel free to discuss with me. I can even write some music sheets for your level according to your interest, or I can write down some more technical tips for you to practice at home. This will decrease the time in correcting some mistakes. I've been playing piano for over 35 years. The 35 years of piano playing experience has given me special abilities to know what type of problem you have. And I'll give you the secret tips to help you work on your own problems.
About Your Piano
If you have light key Keyboard-with five or six octaves
This type of practice instrument is only good for the beginners. Most of the keyboards have light Non-Weighted keys. The light weighted key keyboard is not going to help you build up your fingertip strength. One of the secrets in playing piano is that you need to learn to control you finger tip muscle. Once you have learned to control your fingertip muscles, your fingers will have greater endurance for you to enjoy the rest of your life. Many people get frustrated after they play piano for a while, because they feel that their fingers are always out of control. The only way to control your finger is to practice on a keyboard that has weight. This is like going to the Gym and working out on some machine to build up your muscle. I always encourage people to have either a regular piano or a digital weighted piano.
I prefer you either have regular piano or digital piano with weighted keys.
The weighted key function also will be same as "Hammer Action Key". This type of piano will be good for you when you have been playing piano for one year or two. I can help you to choose a piano.
