Lessons

Patient instruction, weekly.

Carmen teaches piano in private weekly lessons -- in-home across Utah and Salt Lake County until the dedicated studio location is secured. Lessons run year-round in three weekly formats; the right format follows the student, not the other way around.

Thirty minutes$200 / month
Weekly
First-year students and shorter sessions.
What's covered
- Posture, hand position, the keyboard as a map.
- Reading single-line melodies and basic rhythm.
- One short piece in rotation at a time.
Forty-five minutes$300 / month
Weekly
The standard weekly lesson for steady progress.
What's covered
- Technique blocks (scales, arpeggios, hand-independence drills).
- Reading both staves; rhythm with subdivision.
- Two pieces in rotation, one stretching the player slightly.
- Practice habits that hold up between lessons.
Sixty minutes$400 / month
Weekly
Advanced study, exam preparation, and repertoire work.
What's covered
- Repertoire study and interpretation, not just notes.
- Theory and ear training paced with the literature.
- Exam preparation (ABRSM, RCM) when the student is on a syllabus.
- A piece-and-etude pair every week.

Monthly cadence: Tuition stays flat each month. A four-lesson month and a five-lesson month cost the same; the fifth lesson absorbs as a make-up.
Holidays + cancellations: Lessons pause on national holidays without charge. Twenty-four hours notice for student cancellations; same-day cancellations forfeit the slot.
In-home commute: Lessons are in-home across Utah and Salt Lake County. A $30/hr commute fee applies until the dedicated studio location is secured.
Auto-pay: Tuition is on auto-pay at the start of each month. No invoices, no chasing dates -- the relationship stays about the music.
Discontinuing: Thirty days written notice ends the agreement. No fee; the final month finishes out at the standard rate.
What the rate covers: The $100/hr labor rate covers Carmen's total invested time -- lessons, recital preparation, repertoire planning, scheduling, bookkeeping, teaching aids. The tuition lines above are the only number a family pays.
