About Veronika's Piano Studio

About Veronika's Piano Studio


I am a classically trained (B.A., M.A.) pianist, professional piano teacher, and choir director. I am an active member of the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA).
My studio has nearly 30 students, and includes both children and adults. I teach weekdays and Saturdays, at my apartment in Santa Monica and at my students’ homes.
Please read the FAQ and policies and contact me for an initial interview at Vspianostudio {at} gmail.com 


All the lessons are currently done online. 

Summer intensive / group lessons:

We know that children learn better if they practice regularly. My idea is that this regular practice can be done with the teacher, so it takes the stress away from the parent! 

These group lessons are intended for beginner students only.  We will start with learning healthy piano technique, music notation, developing musical ear, learning very simple exercises / piano pieces. 

Schedule:
- The group meets twice per week 
- In addition to the lessons, each week I will send a video tutorial of what we are working on that week. This should help the students to practice between the lessons and teach them how to do that on their own. 

Group size: 2 - 4 students 
Length: 30 minutes / twice per week, additional tutoring videos for homework
Weekly tuition: $ 40

Each child will need:
- to have a decent instrument (an acoustic piano is highly recommended; a weighted, full size electric piano is a possible alternative (please feel free to consult with me before purchasing one)
- to be properly seated at the instrument (will be explained separately)
- to have access to Zoom
- to purchase books (I will explain which books to buy) / materials
- ocasional print outs
 
Please, let me know your thoughts or if you have any questions and please spread the word!
