Hello, my name is Irene Collins - an award winning pianist, accompanist and an experienced music teacher graduated in Russia, member of the Conroe Music Teachers Association.

How I play piano myself:

My solo concert to benefit center for autistic kids
Another benefit concert. Duet with domra.

Examples of my students' progress:

Ina Jaegy progress over 3.5 years of piano lessons with me
Elizabeth Rubin progress over 4 years of piano lessons with me
Rodrigo Botello progress over 3.5 years of piano lessons with me

 

I would love to give private piano lessons to you or your 5+ y/o child at my home studio in The Woodlands, TX using classical Russian conservatory method. There is one important requirement though - you should be willing to work hard! If you want to learn a little piano just for fun, then I am probably a wrong teacher for you. I am strict and demanding and would give you a lot of homework. It would serve well those who are really interested in developing their musical talents to high levels. And I can promise that you or your child would achieve really impressive results, noticeable from the very first months.

Lessons could be 30, 45 or 60 minutes long. I teach on a concert grade Yamaha grand piano, but you would also need your own piano at home. Electronic keyboards are ok, but only if they have 88 full-sized hammer weighted keys. Home practice is very important! It will dramatically speed up the learning process and make your education way less expensive.

 

Yearly enrollment fee - $50

1 hour piano lesson - $76

45 min piano lesson - $57

30 min piano lesson - $38

 

Tuition is due on the 1st of every month and must be paid in advance. No refunds. Summer breaks are ok. Up to 3 make ups lessons per year will be provided if you notified me about cancellation 24 hours in advance. Additional charges may be required for organization of recitals and public performances.

Thank you for visiting my site, please don't hesitate to call me and schedule our first meeting!

Sincerely yours, Irene.
