The Program

Mike Wong is classically trained. He teaches, first and foremost, classical piano. This is where you get the best finger development, note reading, sight reading, technical and theory training, and interpretation. Once a student gets past the basics, he includes jazz, ragtime, blues and popular songs into the lesson aligning with the students interest and skill level.

Lessons are once a week in your home. Younger beginning students are expect to practice at least 15 minutes everyday. Older and advanced students are required to practice daily for at least 30 minutes and as they progress they will be expected to put in up to 45-60 minutes everyday for the fastest development.

Because each student has a different learning curve, lessons are custom designed to fit each student’s particular needs. When it comes to motivation, Mike has unique methods to encourage progress. Being a full time professional magician, Mike incorporates teaching magic to his students as a reward for reaching short and long term goals.

Mike’s basic rate is $50-$60/lesson depending on your location, proximity to other families, and the number of students in any one family taking lessons. Please call for lesson details and a quote that will fit your situation.
