Teaching Philosophy:
In my studio, I teach a rounded piano education with an emphasis on creativity and healthy technique and equipping my students for life through music. Learning piano enhances life skills such as confidence, good work ethics, and diligent endurance to reach a goal. I work to to instill in my students a desire to listen, understand, and ultimately communicate through music. I value one-on-one piano lessons to get to know each student on a personal level and therefore teach them with a specific learning style approach.
Piano Studio Policies:
1. Weekly Lessons:
I teach 30, 45, or 60 minute piano lessons, Monday-Friday. I offer lessons to both children and adults! Lessons will be offered at my "Alpine Acoustics" Piano Studio located in Bothell, Washington or online on Zoom. *October 2020: Masks are required upon entry for all in person lessons.
2. Monthly Tuition:
Tuition is charged by the month from September-June and is due by cash or check at the first lesson of each month. Some months have 3, 4, or 5 weeks of lessons. Tuition remains the same each month. During July-August summer tuition is charged by the week and is due at the first lesson of every month. I send invoices out to students at the beginning of the month to include any additional books or competition fees.
Please contact me at rosefreemanmusic@gmail.com to learn more about lesson tuition rates.
3. At Home Requirements:
Students will be required to have a piano or 88-key weighted keyboard to practice their pieces at home. I encourage students to practice in an environment at home that is conducive to good learning habits!
4. New Student Interviews:
Before scheduling lessons at my studio I would love to meet you and offer a complimentary first lesson! This gives you the opportunity to learn more about my teaching style and what I offer in piano lessons.
5. Competition & Performance Opportunities:
As a member of Washington State Music Teachers Association (WSMTA), Snohomish County Music Teachers Association (SCMTA), and Edmonds Music Teachers Association (EMTA), my students have the opportunity to participate in local chapter and state festivals as well as share their music at studio recitals! I do not require participation in these events, but offer them as opportunities for learning and setting goals each year in music.
