The first step in preparing for lessons is to reach me by email; mrossborough@gmail.com. I can initially answer some basic questions. If you find you are interested we can then set up a small interview. This is where we will get to know each other better, go over the Studio Policy and the Studio Offerings, as well as your goals, hopes and dreams. I can also give you a free mini-lesson just so that you can have a taste for what lessons will be like.
Here is how in studio lessons work:
​
-
Weekly lessons; 30 -45 minutes depending on the students level.
-
You bring your books and your progress to class.
-
We begin with appropriate level technique to warm up your fingers and learn about patterns on the piano; scales, chords, inversions, arpeggios.
-
We review and learn from your current pieces.
-
We add new pieces as needed.
-
Practice makes progress!
What is needed for lessons: At the present time during the pandemic lessons are online only.
​
A decent piano is preferred however a decent keyboard can suffice; 88 weighted keys, touch sensitive, pedals.
​
Acoustic instruments need to be tuned 1 to 2 times a year. Please keep that in mind if you want to keep motivation for practice high!
