Most definitely!
Lessons are weekly and can be 1/2 hr to 1 hr depending on the age of the student.
I always like to meet with the parents and the student before our first lesson to talk about lessons and learning the piano to see if this could be a good fit.
Yes, in the suzuki method this comes later but it is still an essential skill and part of study. Every child’s unique readiness is taken into consideration.
I always say "5 alive" 5 days of practice in addition to practice day. Try to keep practice sessions the same amount of time that the session is.
