All Lessons:

30 minute lessons are given for very young beginning students.  Otherwise, either 45 or 60 minute lessons are given.  This is because by the time a student enters the door, takes off their coat, gets out their music, transitions to the lesson and with the lesson wrap up, 8-10 minutes can be lost.  For young children, I use many off-the-bench activities to keep their attention, such as music games, rhythm and note reading activities and singing.
