We have a store in the studio for purchase of select method books, materials and music bags. Others may need to be purchased online or at a local music store, such as Long & McQuade or Tom Lee Music.

Recitals are a wonderful opportunity to showcase the hard work and diligent practice of our repertoire, but never mandatory with Kim's Piano Studio.
A student is welcome to perform OR to attend as an enthusiastic audience member.

Pricing varies based on the age of the student, level of instruction and lesson duration. Please see Lesson Fees or contact us for detailed pricing information.
How often are lessons held?
Lessons are typically held once a week, but frequency can be adjusted based on the student's needs and availability.
Are the lessons in-person or online?
We provide both in-person lessons in my studio and online to accommodate different preferences and situations. Online lessons allow us to teach students in other cities and time zones. Many adults love online as there is no commute time to lessons.
