As I happily continue to offer West Essex Now as a community service, I've started a new business this month West Essex Piano and I wanted to get the word out. Currently, I'm teaching private lessons in homes around West Essex for Students age 4 to Adult. However, I'm happy to announce that - starting next week - I'm partnering with The Performing Arts Project NJ in Roseland to be able to offer a limited amount of private and group lessons at their studio at a substantially lower rate!
The Studio classes are only available on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, beginning THIS MONDAY and there is very limited space. There is no registration fee; each student pays for 10 lessons ahead of time and begins next week. You do not need to have a piano at home; an electric keyboard is fine.
If you aren't sure how your student (or you) would do, I recommend starting with a group class; I will have the keyboards at the studio. Group classes will be arranged by appropriate age group.
