Private piano, violin, cello, viola, and bass lessons for all ages. Weekly lessons are 30, 45, 60 minute lessons (depending on skill level and experience), and I give prizes, rewards, incentives for practicing and achievement (Music needs to be FUN).  I charge $40/hour, so for a 30 minute lesson once a week, it's $80/4 week month, $100/5 week month. If you can't come to me, I WILL COME TO YOU for a $10 trip charge each trip. That makes it $120/4 week month, $150/5 week month. Tiffany's studio is located at Gilbert and Elliot Roads in Gilbert, but she will come to you for a $10 trip charge each trip.
Claire and Courtney's studio is located at Higley and University Rds in Mesa.

(It's a bit demanding, and sometimes it stresses the kids out, so I offer it, but don't require it.)
