Lessons at the Hardy Music Studio
The Hardy Music Studio is a private, home studio for piano, organ and voice instruction. I use traditional one-on-one instruction, concentrating on theory, ear training, sight-reading, and technique. My students regularly participate in recitals in the community and festivals through the North Idaho Music Teachers Association and the Royal Conservatory Examinations. I also offer lessons on Skype or Zoom if needed.

Included In Your Tuition….
Group Masterclass
This is a montly opportunity for the students to perform and learn from each other. We listen and learn about music from the major composers of all the stylistic periods. We also play music games to solidify their knowledge of musical concepts. This class is included in the monthly tuition fee.
Private Instruction
Parents are welcome to attend their child’s piano lessons to facilitate practice skills at home, especially for students under the age of 8. I want to make music a positive and enjoyable experience for them. We sanitize the studio between students for everyone’s protection.
Recitals
There will be many opportunities to perform throughout the year. All students are expected to perform pieces, from memory, in at least one recital per year. Parents are welcome to attend any of these recitals.

Minute Marathon
For each 100 minutes of practice, you can color in a “mile” on the chart displayed in the studio. The student who has the most “miles” by the next recital will be recognized here on the website, on the studio Facebook page and at the recital with a medal!
One Minute Club
If you can name and play the 23 notes on the staff from your flashcards, randomly shuffled, in under 1 minute, you will be named here on the website, and in the studio as a member of the “One Minute Club”!!

NIMTA Festivals
Each year our students have the opportunity to participate in the North Idaho Music Teachers Association’s Musicianship Festival where students are tested in sight reading, ear training, theory, rhythm and keyboard technique. The Performance Festival is where students can showcase their skills, including performing for an adjudicator. They may also have the chance to play in an Honors Recital!
