Lessons

Camille's Piano Studio offers private lessons for beginners on up.  Lessons for all ages are 30 minutes weekly.  Students are expected to attend all lessons, except in the case of illness or holidays, to have an instrument at home for practice, and to practice at home 4-6 days a week.  The amount of practice time required changes based on their skill level.  Beginners should practice 15-20 minutes a day, whereas more advanced students should practice 30-45 minutes a day and more.

All lessons are taught in my home in Meridian, Idaho.  Students will learn to read music, learn music theory and to perform with confidence.  A foundation in music theory is important, so we use games and flashcards to help all the information stick.

I do not teach by ear.  I feel that learning to read music is ESSENTIAL in learning to play the piano.  Sight reading is one of the things I really work on, because being able to sit and quickly play or accompany somebody without notice is a very valuable thing to have.

I use a fun incentive program to try to keep the kids motivated- sticker charts for practicing and passing off songs, and prizes when their chart is full.

GROUP LESSONS:  I do quarterly group lessons.  This is usually done on a Saturday morning, and is no extra cost.  While it is not required, it is a great learning opportunity for the students, as well as a lot of fun.  It is good for the kids to get together with other piano students and review theory and play games.
