Things to Know About Class Registration(Registration Form)
- Payment must accompany registration. If pre-registering before day one of classes, pay in full or make a deposit of $40 for baby, toddler and 3's/4's classes, $50 for 'Music Makers at Home and Around the World' and 'Music Makers at the Keyboard'. The balance may be divided equally over the remainder of the session, due the first day of the month - credit card only.
- If there is space available in a class, I can accept registrations later in the quarter. Fees are then prorated, paying for the remaining classes at that point.
- There are minimum and maximum sizes for some classes, so reserve a spot as soon as you can.
- Babysitting co-ops can work well with Moms in the classes, sometimes in exchange for some or all of tuition.

Music Makers at the Keyboard
· All piano classes are a one year registration and weekly lessons.
· Monthly payment ok by credit card.
· Ages 7 to 10 years, grouped by experience
(age 6 sometimes, if studied with me at least one year)
Group piano (3-4 students) – 60 minutes, including parent, $22/lesson
Semi private (2 students) - 45 minutes, including parent, $33/lesson
Private – 60 minutes, includes parent, $45/lesson
Students literally run into their piano class, excited to show teacher and classmates the songs they discovered how to play by their own musical ears!
As graduates of Music Makers Around the World (5-7yo), they will continue to develop their musical ears and expand their music-reading, as the music in their heads comes out of their fingers at the piano/keyboard. Older newcomers will discover how natural it is to become musical and to play with ease.
Games, singing, and movement are a part of every lesson. The group experience capitalizes on children's delight in making music with others, and greatly enhances the skills of rhythmic competency, listening, and music-reading far beyond what a "private" experience offers.
Each student should have a keyboard or piano at home for practicing, and a CD-player nearby for interactive playing and listening.
