MY RESPONSIBILITIES:

​

I will teach students the language of music in a positive and enthusiastic environment. My goal is to encourage the growth and development of curiosity and self motivation through music. I will tailor the curriculum to match each student's specific learning needs and goals.

​

​

STUDENT & FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES:​​​​​

​​

Students agree to arrive at each lesson punctually, well-prepared, and with their assigned music and instrument. Students should have four (4) working reeds with them at all times. To make good progress, consistent, and quality practice is necessary. Please ask questions about home assignments so both student and parents can completely understand assignments and goals.

​

Parents: If something is happening at home or school that is affecting your child please let me know. The more information I have, the more I can be sensitive to the needs of your child.

​

​

TEACHING SERVICES:

Private Lessons - Private lessons are offered weekly in 30, 45, or 60 minute sessions.

​

​

TUITION & SCHEDULE:

​

Lesson tuition is billed at a monthly flat-rate and is determined by the lesson duration of your choice. Tuition rates are based on the number of lessons the studio schedules in the calendar year. There will be a minimum of 40 lessons (40 weeks) offered throughout the year. Pre-planned absences and holiday breaks have been factored into the rate, and will be communicated in advance.

​

*Please note that tuition payment reserves your weekly time slot in my calendar. Tuition payment does NOT directly correlate with the number of lessons received if there are pre-planned absences, or if the student does not attend the scheduled lessons.

​

After the first payment, all invoicing and payments will run automatically on the same day. Tuition will be drawn automatically on the 1st of each month from the method on file. If the method on file is declined, you will have 48 hours to re-submit payment. After 48 hours, if no payment has been submitted, a $25 late fee will be added to your invoice. 

​

​

CANCELLATION POLICY:

Lesson tuition is non-refundable. If you cannot attend a lesson I ask that you please let me know as far in advance as possible so I can plan accordingly.

​

Two (2) emergency cancellations on my part per calendar year have been factored into the monthly tuition. Lessons cancelled exceeding this number will be given as much notice as possible, and will be given a makeup lesson.

​

​

MAKEUP LESSONS:

Tuition payment reserves your weekly time slot in my calendar. If you miss your lesson time slot or need to cancel for any reason, I cannot guarantee a makeup lesson. 

​

In the case of genuine emergencies, please inform me as soon as possible if you will miss a lesson. As a courtesy, I try to accommodate rescheduling or makeups within reason.

​

​

COMMITMENT:

When students enroll in lessons, they are reserving their weekly time slot in the studio. Changes to weekly schedules may be made on a case-by-case basis. If the student wishes to pause or discontinue lessons for a billing cycle, written notification must be received via email by the 15th of the previous month so I can cancel the automatic payment.

 

*If you discontinue lessons for a billing cycle (Ex. June or July), your spot in the studio cannot be guaranteed if you want to resume lessons in the fall.

​

Students are expected to arrive on time and ready to go. Please unpack/pack up your clarinets in the hallway so lessons can start on time. Lesson times will not be extended because of tardiness. If a lesson starts late due to me running behind, your full lesson will be given to you either that week or the next week.
