Studio Description:
Two professional locations:
c studio in Spokane attached to . The rooms are well suited to accommodate up to 3 students and each contain a piano which is tuned regularly. I also have the ability to teach at my school, Eastern Washington University in Cheney Washington (About 30 minutes outside of Spokane). There are practice rooms each with a piano.I would love to teach Skype lessons. I have studied with my current teacher, Dr. Julia Salerno over the last year through a combination of Skype and in person lessons. Equipment:I provide music stands, a piano (mostly used to accompaniment or theory lessons), ear training materials, my own instrument to demonstrate, and music. I will require students to provide their own music at times which includes scale and etude books as well as larger repertoire pieces. Providing full copies of pieces is required if the student is entering certain competitions. I will not provide a piano or music stand when teaching at the student's home.
