Students paying by the week must pay for 3 lessons at the beginning of the semester which will cover the first and last 2 lessons. All potential new students are invited t schedule a free trial lesson. This will help parents and students decide if they wish to follow through with a commitment to studying privately. Cancellation Policy Students are asked to give as much notice as possible if they cannot attend a lesson. A lesson will not be made up if the student does not show up and does not call.
Parents are welcome to attend any lesson at any time.
However, regular attendance at lessons is discouraged, as it tends to distract both student and teacher. Parents of students under the age of 10 should plan to attend the end of each lesson in order to be better able to help the young student practice at home. Music Purchase We will use music which students have already been working with, but additional purchase may be necessary. Piano Accompaniment at Performances Students are strongly encouraged to hire a professional accompanist for important performances. The cost is reasonable, and the professional accompanist is able to help the performer play their very best.
