I wish I could put a full definitive pricing list here on the site (and maybe one day I will be able to do so!) but pricing for art has so many variables.
I can give standard pricing for piano and voice lessons!
Lessons are $30 for each 30-minute spot. It’s that simple!
Please reach out to me for availability as these are limited.
For workshops and other trainings, pricing will be customized based on how many will be in attendance, what resources and materials will be needed, how many hours of teaching are requested, travel and location, and preparation.
For my visual art commissions, pricing will depend on medium, size, timeline, scope and scale of the project, etc.
For performance/event booking, pricing will vary based on location, travel, hours, piano and voice requests, rehearsal/practice time, amenities, and other factors.

In a time when most children with an interest in music are looking for a shortcut by finding tutorials on YouTube or using an app to learn a specific song, the art of learning music theory is more important than ever.
The benefits of being able to read music and understand the science and structure of music become more and more valuable for those who want to do more with their musical abilities as they grow!
Songwriting, transcription, transposition, playing by chords, sight reading, musical collaboration… These skills (all of which I have encountered in my own life as a professional musician) are so much easier to achieve and thrive in when the foundational elements of music are understood and applied.
Besides these practical benefits, there are myriad research studies that champion musical study (through piano playing specifically) as being uniquely beneficial in childhood for greater cognitive development, time management, motor skills, study habits, and more!
I truly believe that piano study is advantageous for any child as part of their education.

First, let me declare a potentially controversial statement: I believe almost EVERYONE can sing!
If someone told you that you “can’t sing” (or perhaps you've said this to yourself!), I have found that the vast majority of people can improve their skills through vocal training and ear training!
And while almost everyone can sing, anyone who wants to develop their vocal skills should consider professional vocal training in order to develop proper techniques, ensure long-term vocal health and stamina, expand range and styles, and find their own unique voice!
