SERVICES

Private individualized lesson format typically includes development of technical skills, discussion of music theory or history as it relates to current assignments, review work, learning and perfecting pieces and new assignments.  There are usually specific directions written in the student’s notebook with goals discussed and strategies to achieve them. Students are praised for their efforts and receive encouragement—enjoying lessons is important! To this end a wide body of music serves to enhance this enjoyment of music; perhaps a Disney or show tune, a sacred or patriotic piece, and jazz in addition to classical and contemporary piano music. With advancing students there can be a focus on training to play from lead sheets for stage or praise band.

Kim can train you to shift from piano to organ and guide you in selection of appropriate and easily approached liturgical literature, arranging, lead sheets and shortcuts, so that you will be able to play for church services. Recommended session is two hours as needed. ($125)

Some children are also interested in developing their singing voice. Ms. Capsas has extensive experience coaching at the collegiate level as well as helping younger students begin singing.
