Teaching, Tutoring, Accompanying, and Transcription Services

This page provides more detailed information on the various musical services I'm available to provide.

Teaching, Tutoring, Transcribing/Copyist Work, Recording, and Accompanying

For more detailed information about my online studio and policies, please visit my dedicated studio website: studio-dipaolo.weebly.com ! The information below should only be considered a summary.

Piano/Music Theory/Aural Skills/Composition Instruction Online via Zoom, Forte, or Google Meet: 
30-Minute Lessons: $120 USD/month or $35 per one-time lesson
45-Minute Lessons: $150 USD/month or $45 per one-time lesson
60-Minute Lessons: $180 USD/month or $55 per one-time lesson


Also, please note that it is best for children to be "tween-age," around age 10 (depending on personal development and maturity) to begin their musical education through online piano lessons. I'll consider accepting slightly younger (still school-age) students who have previous piano backgrounds, so please get in touch to talk about that possibility. Pre-elementary children are encouraged to join a Kindermusik, Music Together, or Musikgarten program in the area.

Piano/Music Theory/Composition Instruction in Person: Please note that I do not offer in-person instruction except in cases where a pre-formed local ensemble has asked me to coach them.

Transcription/Copying/Arranging: $15 per page when working from a score (e.g. preparing a transposed vocal score to suit your range); when transcribing by ear (from a recording), rates vary by number of instruments/complexity and length, starting at $60 per audio-minute, so contact me for a quote. Projects are considered "rush" if you give me a week or less to complete them, and standard rates double for rush projects. (I may increase the rate further at my discretion if the project is especially complex or the deadline is even tighter.) I will also ask that, if possible, you send me a written copy of the words for any songs with words that need transcription. Without a written reference, I can't guarantee the accuracy of transcribed song lyrics, and prices will increase markedly if text also needs to be transcribed.

Piano Accompanying: Please contact me for a customized quote. Audition or other recordings where you elect to use my recording equipment are subject to a higher hourly rate or one-time fee to cover the equipment usage, editing, and time spent transferring the files in a timely manner.

Solo Performing Engagements (weddings, banquets, parties, lecture recitals, etc.): Please contact me for a customized quote.

Recording Projects: Please contact me for a customized quote. If you're looking for information on accompaniment track commissions, specifically, I've created a page for that here. 

Please note that if you'd like me to premiere your solo piano composition(s), I require that you enroll in my composition studio for a predetermined length of time first (depending on the degree to which the piece(s) needs to be refined and prepared for performance). Limited exceptions apply if you are already studying another discipline with me.
