Bottom line:\u00a0we work hard to help our students achieve success in their personal goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_7\"><span class=\"wixGuard\">\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_7\">What we offer:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"font_7\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"font_7\">Private\u00a0piano lessons<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"font_7\">Private composition lessons (online lessons are also an option)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"font_7\">Private or group theory lessons (all levels of theory)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Students of String and Hammer School have the added benefit of participating in a masterclass once a month. The masterclass, which comes at no extra cost, is an opportunity for students to perform the pieces they are working on in front of the studio. This frequent exposure to performance pressure is critical in their musical development, and equips them with the necessary tools to successfully perform at festivals or exams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_7\">Combined, we have\u00a0over thirty years of private instruction experience, forty-five years\u00a0of piano training, practicing, and performing, and over eleven years of post-secondary teaching experience.
