Ms. Row’s piano lessons

Ms. Row’s personal goal is to give each student a chance to become the best pianist he/she can be. Because not all individuals have the same strengths and/or weaknesses, she tailors her lesson plans according to each student’s needs. Her lessons,whether they be 30-, 45-, or 60-minutes long, are divided up into four sections: Strength-Building and Technical Exercises; Theory; Lesson Songs; and Repertoire. She holds two recitals per year, and has an award system to give students incentive to put the most into their lessons.
