• Travel (this is for lessons where I travel to your home) - based on the IRS Standard Mileage Rate; added to the initial lesson rate

Rates are the same whether your lesson is in-person or online. Rates will also increase on a yearly basis.

• ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED FOR EACH LESSON. Please contact me as soon as possible if you need to cancel, either by email or phone. If you do not cancel your lesson 24 hours before your scheduled time, you will be liable for an attendance fee of $25. The only exceptions are for emergency situations that occur within the 24-hour period before your lesson, which I consider on a case-by-case basis. If attendance issues occur consistently, I may feel the need to release you from the studio. 

• Lessons should occur once a week on the same day and time. However, I understand life can get busy sometimes, so if you need to cancel or move to one lesson every two weeks for a period of time, we can work together to find the best solution for you. Communication is imperative! I will also hold myself to the same standard. If I ever need to cancel our lesson time, I will do my absolute best to make sure I let you know as soon as I can. 

• MAKEUP LESSONS ARE NOT ACCEPTED. If you cancel a lesson, then we won't meet until the next week. Additionally, you won't be charged for anything if you cancel your lesson in a timely manner. Just make sure to keep up your practice until your next lesson. 

• MAKE SURE TO BE ON TIME. This means that you arrive before your lesson is supposed to begin so that you are ready to play when your time starts.  If you arrive late to your lesson, I will not extend the time for you to fulfill the whole time amount you typically have. I have a busy schedule, so when the end time of your lesson comes around I will abide by that restraint. Also if you arrive late, you will still be responsible for your full lesson payment. 

• COME PREPARED FOR YOUR LESSON. In other words, you arrive with your instrument, music, lesson book, etc., and have practiced enough throughout the week so that we can continue to make forward progress. 

• Payment is due at the end of each lesson, either by check, cash, or Venmo/Paypal. 

• PARENTS: It is vital to the success of your child for you to be involved in the lesson, especially if they are young. It is very difficult to learn how to practice on your own. Along with the commitment from your child, your commitment is needed as well, if not more. I like to involve the parent in the lesson so you are able to practice with your child at home, so please plan to be present during the lesson. Please read The Philosophy and For Parents sections for more information. Also, purchase and read Nurtured by Love by Shin'ichi Suzuki which can be found on the Resources page.
