Music Lessons in Weeping Water, NE

Instruments: Piano

I prefer to instruct out of the James Bastien method books for the student's main lesson assignments.

This keeps lessons lighthearted and keeps the student interested in the next lesson in my experience. I set realistic weekly and monthly goals for my students so I'm able to gauge how the student has performed, as well as how they should be instructed going forward. Read More
