Piano Lessons
Private Lessons
Private lessons at Do Re Mi Music Academy involves one-on-one sessions between the student and a teacher.
The most traditional way to learn to play an instrument, the private lesson is the core aspect that comprises studies in music. In private weekly lessons, students will learn the skills that they will refine in daily practice at home.
Our instructors will take a personal approach to planning and guiding each student on a case by case basis, customizing the best plan of action for the individual. We assign the material for daily practice, introduces new material during lessons, and monitor the student’s technique to ensure that proper development to posture, position, physical freedom, and other fundamental aspects are carefully followed. At Do Re Mi Music Academy there is not “set method” of approach for all students.
Daily practice from lesson to lesson is crucial in order to make forward progress.
