If you don’t see a time that works for you, I can be flexible with additional morning and daytime lessons for homeschool and preschool students, or later evening lessons for teenage/adult students. And don’t hesitate to inquire about figuring out times for lessons longer than these 30-minute slots, if desired.

Schedule & Studio Policies

Fees and Policies

  • 30-minute lessons = $35 each

  • 45-minute lessons = $50 each

  • 60-minute lessons = $65 each

Lesson fees are calculated based on the number of lessons remaining during the school year, totaled and then divided into equal monthly payments per the number of months remaining through May. Students beginning lessons before the new year are charged for one fewer lesson than the total scheduled as a contingency for illness, travel, etc. If you start before January and don’t miss any lessons, you come out ahead! Otherwise, makeup lessons are not guaranteed and will only be scheduled at my convenience. I can offer virtual lessons via Zoom in cases of extreme weather affecting travel to lessons.

I can accept cash, check, PayPal, or Venmo – your preference.

No refunds will be offered if lessons are discontinued.

If I need to cancel a lesson for any reason, I will offer either a credit toward summertime lessons or a simple single-lesson refund.

Summertime lessons will be scheduled first-come, first-served when my availability is determined, hopefully during April or early May. I strongly value consistency in lessons but also understand the need for family vacations and my availability will also be severely reduced as I will be my family’s stay-at-home parent for the summer. Due to my limited summer availability, if you reserve a summer lesson slot, it will be non-refundable - though I am willing to facilitate trading the time with another student.

Studio Expectations

  • Arrive up to 5 minutes before your lesson time

  • Parents attend lessons with students unless otherwise discussed. Siblings may join us in the studio or read/play quietly in the sitting room just outside the studio.

  • Daily practice, or as close to daily, as you can manage!

  • Listening assignments taken seriously

  • Participation in studio Recitals (when announced) is required, including for adult students
