Adult Piano Lessons
It is never too late to learn piano or return to piano studies after an absence. Teaching adults piano is a uniquely rewarding process - it is the uncovering of a new awareness of ourselves and our capabilities at any age.
The basics will be covered of course and I will design your lessons around you. We can look at different genres of music depending on your preferences. Gaining an adult student is more like gaining a coworker/friend for me.
Lesson Length
I recommend 45-60 minute lessons for adult students on a weekly basis.
Fees
Adults purchase lessons in packages of 8. This is to allow for more flexibility in booking lessons around winter vacations, and the fact that most adults take lessons throughout the summer and are not planning their schedules around an academic year. A package of 8 lessons is currently $360 (based on 45 minute lessons).
Practising
Playing music is a completely new skill. It is similar to learning a language, and it requires fine motor skills. Like language music takes practise. It is quite manageable when taken step by step with the support of a teacher. I understand that it can be difficult for adults to maintain consistent practise every week. Some weeks family, work and just life in general can take over your practise time. You can still make progress by coming to your lesson and having a guided practice session together.
Location
Lessons can be held online or in my homebased studio in Kemptville Ontario.

"I started taking piano lessons from Elisa just a few years ago , in my late 60's. I had never played an instrument before and did not know how to read music. I am amazed at how much I have learned and how good for the soul the lessons have been. Elisa offers a very calming teaching environment, puts you at ease immediately and is extremely positive" - Peggy
