I offer three coaching packages designed for accomplishing specific goals in a short time. Each package includes several private piano lessons offered at a slightly discounted hourly rate.
The three packages are
A. Technique Streamlining
B. Performance Coaching for Concerts and Auditions
C. Injury Recovery
Before purchasing one of these packages you may schedule a free consultation to assess your needs, as described below:
A. Technique Streamlining Package
This six-session package will help you
- identify and understand tension and habits that get in the way of physical and expressive freedom at the piano
- systematically replace these habits with healthy, easeful ways of using your body and mind to play with less effort and more freedom and communicative power
Before signing up for this package you may schedule a free consultation to assess
- basic strengths and weaknesses of your technique
- the appropriate starting point for the technique streamlining process
The free consultation may be followed by a sample piano lesson, in which you bring in technical questions about two or more specific passages and learn easier and more effective ways of playing these passages.
B. Performance Coaching Package for Concerts and Auditions
If you are preparing for a performance, audition, competition, or jury exam, this package may be customized to suit your needs. If you are working with another coach or teacher, this package can be adapted to accommodate your particular situation.
The free consultation includes an assessment of
- your choice of repertoire
- state of preparation
- major issues to address
- plan and schedule of sessions
The free consultation may be followed by a sample piano lesson, in which you bring in technical questions about specific passages and learn easier and more effective ways of playing them.
Sessions may be weekly or biweekly, between one and two hours in length. The number of sessions varies according to your needs, with a minimum of three sessions
C. Injury Recovery Package
If you have developed a practice-related injury, this seven-session package will help you recover.
The free consultation includes an assessment of
- habits in your playing that have contributed to the injury
- possible need for physical therapy or other medical attention to aid healing
- basic steps to change your habits, recover from the injury, and play with greater ease
The seven sessions will guide you through a systematic process that will
- create the foundation for a healthy piano technique
- establish reliable new habits
- leave you feeling confident in your ability to play with more ease and without re-injury
