Piano Lessons

Building confidence and musicality for beginning students

Please communicate lesson cancellation as soon as possible. Lessons with advanced notice can work to be rescheduled, but more than likely we will skip that week when a student needs to cancel.
There is no payment or financial penalty for lessons that are canceled, but if this happens too regularly, a student may be removed from the studio.
Because teaching is not Kristen’s primary job, there may be times she also needs to cancel — especially during busy church seasons.
It is hoped that understanding and grace can be extended in both directions.
Most lessons are taught between 4-6, Tuesdays through Fridays, but other times can be proposed and considered.
Kristen has select availability for a couple new students. Please reach out and see if scheduling will work for you.

Lessons are taught primarily with the Faber Piano Adventures series. Each level usually requires four books, which students purchase as they progress.
Any needed supplemental materials will be provided.
Students may also choose extra books based on their interests — Disney, hymns, or other favorite styles suggestions are always welcome.

Getting started is simple! Just reach out to check availability.
A phone call or email conversation will be all it takes.
Students generally begin at the elementary level and continue with me until they reach early-intermediate piano skills. At that point, I will recommend transitioning to another teacher who can provide the next level of instruction and opportunities.
If you decide to pause or stop lessons, just let me know. I appreciate open communication so I can adjust my schedule. Many students return later or continue their music journey with another teacher.
