Welcome to music lessons! Thank you for choosing to study with me. I hope that you find your studies challenging, enlightening and rewarding. In order to get the most from your lessons, please understand the following policies.

-Tuition

Lessons are $80hr/$45 half hour. Payment is due by check or cash for the month on the first lesson of that month. Payment not received by the 10th puts me in the uncomfortable position of having to ask for it.

-Cancellations/Missed Lessons

In the event of absence by the instructor, credit will forwarded to the next months tuition. Absences by the student will be credited to the next month only if the instructor is given 48 hours notice. Excessive absences will result in termination of lessons.

-Practice

Each student is unique. Musical goals,performance aspirations, and other activities will dictate how much time you can commit to practice. A minimum of 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week is required for students 12 and older. 20 minutes a day, 5 days a weeks for students under 12.

-Supplies

Please make sure that you bring a well-maintained guitar,(newer strings, adjusted action and intonation) picks, method books, and cds or mp3 player.(if working on songs by ear) A spiral notebook is recommended to write down assignments. A spiral binder or folder is recommended for handouts.
