Private lessons are available for students who prefer the flexibility of scheduling that individualized, one-on-one instruction provides. 45-minute lessons are held once per week and can be scheduled to fit in with busy and complex schedules. The pace of learning is designed to fit the needs and learning styles of each individual student. All private piano lessons are held on a nine-foot Steinway concert grand piano. Students who wish to continue private instruction during the summer may call (310)521-8165 to arrange lessons.
