Schedule Lessons are offered in 30, 45, and 60 min. increments at a flat rate of $64/hr. After you sign the studio policy, please indicate your preferred day of the week for lessons. If you have specific timing requests, please indicate that as well. While I will do my best to accommodate the scheduling needs of everyone in my studio, please understand that your lesson time is reserved for you with the intent that you will use that time regularly. Requests to reschedule will always be considered, but I will not always be able to make up lessons which are canceled on the student side, and you will still be responsible for the cost of missed lessons. Please communicate any planned absences such as vacations as early as possible. Consistency of lessons are a very important factor in your piano students’ growth, so every effort should be made to meet weekly.
Materials Parents/guardians are responsible for ordering required materials (primary and supplemental). Occasionally, I will supplement with loans or photocopies. Please plan to purchase recommended materials in a timely fashion, and if you are loaned a copy of a book, return it in the condition in which it was received.
Payments Payments will be collected for each month of lessons on the first day of each month. Electronic payments are accepted via Zelle. Failure to pay for the month after the 5th day incurs a $20 administrative fee. If there is financial hardship, please don't hesitate to reach out, however.
Cancellations In the event of an occasional, planned absence such as a vacation, no payment is necessary when notification occurs in advance of that month. In the event of a cold or mild illness, lessons can still occur via Zoom during the student’s regular lesson time. Please text or email if this is the case, so I can minimize disruption to the schedule and have a Zoom meeting up promptly! In the event that I have to cancel a lesson, I will either refund payment or credit toward the next month, whichever the student prefers.
Recitals Participation in recitals is strongly encouraged but is not mandatory. There is no additional fee for recitals.
Open communication between families and teachers is key to ensuring that piano lessons are a positive and enriching experience for your student: please do not hesitate to reach out if you or your student have any special concerns or requests.
