Online Piano Lessons via Skype
If you stay in a different city or country, you can still take online music lessons with me privately via Skype or FaceTime.
"I was surprised that the Skype arrangement turned out so well. We were both seated at our own pianos at all times, greatly facilitating demonstrations and even quasi-jamming."
"Without the internet there would have been no access to your teaching and my growth as an artist."
"I love the Skype lessons for the ease of being in my home."
