Welcome Parents and Students


Tuition $10 per 45 minute to 1 hr semi private lesson
I teach out of the piano adventure books, I have students memorize notes by practicing on an ipod and taking note tests that I made myself, I teach students how to ready music, learn scales and chords, music theory and how to play popular music using chords. Because my lessons are 45 minutes to 1 hour long students will have the opportunity to practice before they leave lessons. I teach out of my home near Northside School in Fallon NV. Payment is due at the beginning of the month or new session.

Fall Session
Winter Spring Session
Summer Session

I am holding a spot for your child each week and therefore will need to charge for the lesson even if your child does not come. However I do make up lessons. I am available by appointment most Saturdays and evenings.

I have noticed that weekly lessons for piano students (especially newer ones) have the best results. Skipping lessons may seem cheaper but when I don't see a student regularly I usually end up teaching a review lesson or teaching the same songs that I did in the previous lesson because they have forgotten and have not practiced. Therefore it isn't cheaper to skip lessons because your students most likely will not be progressing well.

Summer Piano Lesson schedule

Summer is closely upon us.  I would like to create a summer schedule soon. I am going start teaching lessons with 2 and 3 students in my piano studio at a time. I will have students start their lessons 15 minutes apart from each other and their total lesson time will be 45 minutes long. This will give students the opportunity to practice their new songs or their previous week songs at piano lessons. I have been trying it out some and the students have more confidence about their new songs before they leave. They also have more time to practice their notes and take their note tests. I have a keyboard with headphone right now they can practice on but I hope to get another electric piano or small real piano.

I am also hoping to put together a summer concert. We would choose popular music and have the students create music with chords and scales. We will have some singers to help us out with the melody. I have been creating this in my head for about a year now, but I am still nervous as how it will turn out. It will give the students an opportunity to play in a band. Hoping the concert will be in July sometime.

Email or Text me 775-217-2331 with the spots you want? michelleoldfield@gmail.com or comment on this post. I may need to adjust times once everyone has chosen a time. I would like my teaching times to be together rather than all spread out.
