Online or in-person?  Let me know. 
Online lessons with Zoom or FaceTime:  We will need extra patience when wifi connections falter.  Because sound quality can be an issue, be prepared to make frequent recordings for me to evaluate.  I will supplement your own lesson notes with an online assignment notebook.
 
In-person lessons will follow Safe Start guidelines for hand washing, mask-wearing, and cleaning the piano and other high-touch surfaces.  I will meet you at the door and check your temperature before lessons.  Passing time is scheduled between lessons, so that students won't cross paths in the studio.  


​PIANO TUNING​
will make practice sessions more pleasant for the whole family.

PERFORMANCES 
Lake Washington Music Teachers Association is ready to resume Musical Gift Recitals!  YouTube video playlists will be broadcast to 5 or 6 retirement homes every month.  What a delight for elderly shut-ins!  Another benefit: high school students can earn 1 hour of community service for each recital. 
The deadline for the first MGR is midnight on October 31st.  You can make a video at home or in the studio -- contact me for details like dress code and time limits.

Zoom Piano Parties will be held each month.  4-person, in-studio Piano Parties may be offered as well.  Studio Recitals will be arranged as live Zoom events or small in-person gatherings with suitable social distancing.  Recordings will be shared via "unlisted" playlists, on my YouTube Channel. 
​​
Festivals, Musical Gift Recitals, Competitions and Exams will be modified this year according to current safety guidelines.  The events could be online, one-on-one adjudications, or recorded performances.
