Thank you for your interest in piano lessons! Prospective students are invited to contact Samantha for a trial lesson. We will meet, discuss expectations, and see if there’s a good fit between student, parent, and teacher. The trial lesson is an opportunity to preview my teaching style and approach, and also for me to learn about the student’s readiness, interests, goals, and learning style.

Trial Lesson

The trial lesson lasts around 30 minutes and includes a full lesson, and time for discussion and questions. Trial lessons are free at Samantha’s studio. For families in Kirkland interested in in-home lessons, the trial lesson fee is $30.

When you first contact Samantha, she’ll ask you about your child’s prior musical experiences, your child’s interest in learning piano, and what type and make of piano you own.

If you do not already own a piano, Samantha is happy to make recommendations. Students must have an appropriate instrument at home before lessons begin. Consistent practice is expected from the first lesson!
