Your responses will be kept confidential and not shared with third parties.
Before starting the questionnaire, please read the following:
COMMITMENTS: Piano students sometimes underestimate the commitments involved in successful lessons, including making time for practicing (20 minutes/day minimum, but 30-60+ minutes/day leads to faster progress), and sticking with it over a sustained period of time – committing to at least one year of weekly lessons is suggested. (Most good players have studied 5-10+ years with one or more teachers, so a year really isn’t that long.) You may want to consider both the time and financial aspects of such a commitment. You won’t be asked to decide until after the first lesson, to ensure a good fit.
INSTRUMENT: You'll need to have an instrument available for practicing from the first lesson. The best options are an acoustic (real) piano or 88-key weighted-action digital piano. If you’re not ready to purchase an instrument, most piano stores have rental options. If you don't yet have an instrument, please wait to fill out this questionnaire.
