menuline   LESSONS

Sam is available to give lessons in person, via video lesson, or via webcam.

IN-PERSON LESSONS -

Sam teaches both out of his apartment located in the Fremont area of Seattle as well as his studio located in the Lake City/Sandpoint area of Seattle. For an additional fee, based on the distance to be traveled, Sam is also available to come to your house for lessons. Weekly lessons are highly recommended as this is ideal for improving any skill quickly and efficiently, but one-time and less frequent lesson schedules are also offered.

In-person lessons: 40 per hour / 25 per half-hour

VIDEO LESSONS -

Video lessons are an excellent way for a student to explore specific topics they are particularly interested in and also allow the student to refer back to the video as many times as they wish. When a student purchases a video lesson, it will be requested that the student provide two to three topics they wish to have covered in the video. An .mp3 sample of the current level of student playing is also recommended but not required. Sam will then record a 55-65 minute lesson and send it to the student in the student's prefered format (which may include a physical DVD). This is a fantastic value as the final product is similar to many instructional DVD's but the content is tailored specifically to the student's needs, interests, and skill-level.

Video lessons: 65 per 55-65 minute lesson.

Lessons will be delivered within one week of establishment of topics and receipt of payment.

    WEBCAM LESSONS

For students not located in the viscinity of Seattle but still interested in "in-person" lessons. Lessons can be set up via MSN Messenger or Skype. Similar to the video lessons, before the first lesson students will be asked to send an e-mail outlining the topics they wish to have covered and ideally send an .mp3 recording of their current level of playing. Webcam lessons are 1 hour long.

Webcam lessons: 45 per 1-hour lesson
