ONE LINE DESCRIPTION: |
|
|
MAIN |
|
|
LONG ISLAND PIANO LESSONS IS A
COMPANY THAT PROVIDES BOTH PIANO LESSONS AND ENTERTAINMENT. |
|
WE
TRAVEL TO CLIENTS' HOMES IN BOTH NASSAU AND SUFFOLK COUNTIES. |
|
|
IN ADDITION, THE FIRST LESSON AND
1ST BOOKS ARE FREE TO ALL NEW STUDENTS |
|
|
|
LONG ISLAND PIANO LESSONS IS FULLY
GEARED TO THE PIANO. WE GIVE PIANO
LESSONS |
|
|
RIGHT IN THE STUDENT'S OWN
HOME. WE FEEL THAT THE BEST PLACE TO
BE TAUGHT PIANO IS IN THE |
|
STUDENT'S HOME BECAUSE THE STUDENT
CAN PRACTICE AND LEARN ON THE SAME INSTRUMENT. |
|
|
THESE LESSONS ARE CONVENIENT FOR
PARENTS AND COMFORTABLE FOR STUDENTS. |
|
|
|
MOST LESSONS RUN 30 MINUTES FOR
BEGINNERS, BUT THEY CAN INCREASE AS THE CHILD |
|
|
PROGRESSES
TO EITHER 45 OR HOUR LESSONS. THEY
CAN ALSO BE ARRANGED IN A TIME |
|
|
PERIOD THAT DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH |
|
|
THE BUSY SCHEDULE OF EITHER PARENTS
OR CHILDREN. THESE LESSONS ARE GIVEN
AT |
|
|
REASONABLE RATES. |
