Private Piano Lessons for Beginners
Melissa offers beginning piano lessons to both adults and children who are at least 5 years of age. There is no one size fits all when it comes to learning to play piano so each lesson will be tailored to you and what you want to learn. Whether you have a little bit of music background already or have no experience at all, Melissa will help you with your piano goals. During your first lesson, Melissa will help you figure out your goals and the best way to get there. In no time, you will be learning to read music, to play chords and accompaniments, and maybe even a little music theory if that interests you.
Online and In-person Lessons Available
There are both online and in person options available for lessons. While in person lessons are definitely recommended, Melissa can connect with you online for a lesson via FaceTime, Google Meet, or other online platforms if that is more comfortable or convenient for you. Melissa offers two different options for in person lessons. She teaches from the music studio in her home in Pittsford, NY, and she also gives the option of having the lesson in your home (extra $10 charge) if you are in the Rochester area. Call or text to discuss options.
