IMPORTANT PRICING INFO FOR STUDENTS:
[Effective immediately for new students]
[Effective starting 1st Jan 2026 for existing students]
This post might sound a bit clinical, sorry! I just want to make it as clear as possible.

I am planning to raise lesson prices by $10/lesson across the board.
This means: $60 per 30-minute private lesson.
My 10-lesson bundle deal is still available, but the price will adjust accordingly to $500 (Equal to $50 per 30-minute lesson)

Teaching piano is a passionate thing for me, but it is not particularly lucrative when factoring in the time spent preparing for lessons, creating materials, or the energy toll it takes on me as an introvert.
I would make a lot more money if I committed to a more standard job - It is my primary source of income, but can't remain so unless I bump prices up. I'm really sorry if this is distressing to anyone - I know finances are hard for most people these days.

These changes will only affect *existing* students starting in the new year. I have not discussed them with anyone prior to this announcement and I don't want it to come as a huge immediate shock to anyone. Please get in touch if you have any concerns!

NEW (un-'enrolled' students) will be charged new pricing starting today onwards.

Thanks to all of my wonderful students who support me and my teaching business, or have done so at any point through to now.

SEEKING TESTIMONIALS: 🚨
Hey folks! I've added a section to my website for existing students to submit testimonials.
https://haydenkinsman.com/testimonials

I need to grow my business this year and as odd as it feels, I need to ask for testimonials! So, this is my call to action.
There is an option to submit them to be displayed anonymously, or with your name.
Please say as much as you'd like to - But know that I may take excerpts or snip them down (In context)

Thank you all

Get in touch if you're looking to learn to play piano!
I also teach other keyboard instruments, such as Hammond organ, clavinet, and synthesizers.

My teaching style: I'm patient, and not pushy. I love teaching music theory to those who'd like to learn it - ideal for prepping yourself to be in a band environment.
