Welcome to the Mrozinski Piano Studio

  June 1, 2025

 

Dear Parents & Students:                                          

Another studio year of lessons has passed! It went so quickly, as it always does. I hope that your family is enjoying the break from lessons as many other activities finish as well. 

Some of you have noticed the studio website has been down for a few weeks. It is in the process of being updated and improved. The new website will be launched in August before the fall semester begins. You will still receive monthly invoices and weekly lesson reminders by email. 

Summer scheduling will begin this week. Send in three preferred day and time slots. Time requests must include at least two different days. 

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. See you in a couple more weeks!

Levonne Mrozinski, NCTM

Summer Semester 2025

The importance of continuing lessons in the summer cannot be exaggerated. Students that do not take summer lessons fall behind in their technic, reading, and playing skills. As a result, the first month of fall lessons will be spent in review to get back to the level achieved at the end of the spring semester. Therefore, students are expected to continue with lessons during the summer semester.

Summer is a great time to work on extra pieces or get a head start on next year’s repertoire for one of the festivals or AIM exams. 

The summer semester is June 9 – July 25. Lesson time requests may be made for Tuesdays-Fridays afternoons. 

Lesson rate per lesson: 

30-minute Lesson: $32

45-minute Lesson: $48

60-minute Lesson: $64
