Piano lessons are offered in my Westmont Studio Monday through Thursday. Lessons are available for beginners through professional coaching and preparing students for college auditions. Former students have been successfully admitted to undergraduate and graduate programs at Northwestern University , Northern Illinois University , Lawrence University , Sarah Lawrence, University of Illinois , and DePaul University . Professional coaching is available for postgraduate students.

Students are encouraged to perform during the six recitals that are scheduled during the year - each focuses on a different area: two programs of General Repertoire, Duets and Ensemble Music, Original Student Compositions, a Formal Recital and one program on Early Keyboard Instruments (an informal performance class for High School students on Harpsichord and Clavichord).

Lessons are provided on 7’ Concert Grand Pianos.

Tuition is a flat monthly fee for 45 scheduled lessons for the year. Individual lessons are available for professional coaching. Email for more details.
