This summer Lawrence Piano Studio will offer week-long Beginning Piano workshops (call for exact times), and private lessons. Lessons begin the week of June 2nd and end the week of July 28th (some teachers may teach in August). We will try to schedule lessons from 9 am to 5 pm, M-F, however evening and weekend lessons will be available. Group lessons: We will not be offering group lessons this summer. All students in group lessons are welcome to sign-up for private lessons with either myself or one of my teachers. We will resume group lessons in September when the school year begins. Private lessons: Summer private lessons allow a teacher to work on specific pieces with a student and address certain difficulties a student may have in their study of piano. I will teach private lessons during the day this summer as my schedule allows. David, Jen, Laura Gibson, Bryce, Erin, Kristen, Elizabeth and John will also teach private lessons. Lessons will be scheduled for 9 weeks June 1st - July 31st. Summer lesson fees: Eric-$22.50 per lesson, Jen-$20.50 per lesson $18.50 per lesson, all other teachers You will be billed only for the number of lessons you attend during the summer.
