Do you give in-home lessons?
I provide lessons at my in-home studio in Leetsdale, PA, as well as virtually and in-home at reasonable distances. Areas that are within driving distance for either option include Edgeworth, Fairoaks, Ambridge, Sewickley, Glen Osborne, Coraopolis, and Moon Township. Areas outside of that range may still be offered in-home lessons with more select availability. If you would like to inquire as to whether you are close enough for in-home lessons, please reach out on the Contact Me form and let me know your location and your most likely days of availability so that I can provide you with your specific options.
Do you host performances for your students?
Yes, depending on the amount of interest shown by each student. Performances are not a required endeavor for my students, but I arrange them occasionally on a seasonal basis for students and families who enjoy them. This applies to both child and adult students.
Do you instruct for organizations, schools, and non-profits?
Yes. At present, I am a piano instructor for the Abiding Missions 501(c)(3) public charity in Allentown, PA. I visit on a weekly basis at consistent hours to provide instruction to the youth of their After School program. If you would like to inquire about lessons on behalf of a collective, please reach out to me on the Contact Me form. I organize independent contracts on a case-by-case basis for these situations.
What clearances do you have?
As a business-owner whose work is principally defined by my contact with children under the age of 13, I have obtained the following clearances:
Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance
Pennsylvania State Police Criminal History Clearance
Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) Criminal History Clearance
All of these clearances will be provided to inquiring parties on request.
Do you teach ensembles and groups?
Yes, happily! Please reach out to me with specific inquiries on the Contact Me form to let me know your hopes and desired ensemble experience. I both organize child or adult ensembles and instruct pre-established ensembles on request.
