We are committed to helping each student discover the joy of making music through an individual approach to lessons, with focus on technique, theory, ear training, note reading, and performing skills.
Our studio offers private instruction in piano with emphasis on the classical repertoire. Regular studio recitals give plenty of performance opportunities in a supportive environment.
Lessons are available for ages 4 through adult, absolute beginner through advanced.
Private Lessons
Want to start soon?
Give us a call (907-575-1717 cell/text, 907-245-0522 home) or email (freyapiano@gmail.com) to set up an interview. We'll meet, talk, play some music, and ensure we'll work well together. From there, we can schedule lesson times.
Freya's schedule is currently full, but sometimes space opens up unexpectedly. To get on her waiting list, contact us today to set up an informal interview.
James is not currently accepting new cello students, but is happy to suggest other local teachers.
What you need
- Commitment — Lessons are scheduled by the semester. Students are required to attend and pay for weekly lessons for the full semester.

- An instrument — Piano students must have daily access to an acoustic piano or a good touch-sensitive electric keyboard.
- Homework — Students are required to read their lesson notebooks at each practice session to review all instructions and reminders.
