Studio Policies & Information

I bill at the beginning of each of the three terms (fall, winter, spring), payment is expected by the end of the first month. Your student will receive eight to ten private lessons and one group lesson/playing class per term.

Lesson fees do not include music charges, which will be billed separately. There will be no refunds or credits for missed lessons. Pre-arranged absences or lessons missed due to illness can be made up at a mutually convenient time or during the final week of each term. Group Lessons will be scheduled at the end of each term.

The group lesson will consist of 3-6 students spending an hour with me working on theory, rhythm, performance and some music history.

Lesson fees (January 2015) are $20 for 30-minute lessons and $30 for 45-minutes. A family discount of 10% for the second and third child is applied.

Consistent practice is the only way to insure progress. It’s hard to do, I know. I encourage you to have your child set a regular time. For example, practicing 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes at night is a good goal for first year students, building to 15 minute sessions for older students.
