2020 Studio Policies
Schedule Lessons are scheduled on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays by appointment only. I accept appointments that are weekly or every other week.
Lesson Length Online lessons are 45 minutes. For children ages 10 years or younger, 30 minute lessons are available.
Rates Lesson rates are based on when the student started lessons and length of lesson. Each year there is a Cost of Living rate increase of 2.5% rounded to the whole dollar.
Invoices Invoices will be distributed at the beginning of the month for the upcoming month’s lessons. Invoices are due upon receipt. For those who purchase 4 or more lessons in advance, a 5% discount is offered.
Payments I accept Zelle, PayPal, and Venmo. Monthly invoices are due upon receipt, and have a 30 day term before any late fees are assessed. Once an invoice is past due, lessons may be subject to suspension until account is brought up to date.
Cancellations Cancellations must be made 72 hours in advance of the lesson. If less than 24 hours notice is afforded, full payment is expected. Students will not be charged for the lesson if I am notified 72 hours in advanced. This applies for both piano and vocal students. If a student or parent does not contact me ahead of time, the lesson will be charged for the full amount.
No Shows Two or more no shows for a weekly or every other week schedule will remove that student from the calendar.
Practicing In order to see improvement, regular practice is important. Setting aside a consistent time each day for practice will help students be successful. I offer tools to help students practice at home. These include practice logs, practice schedules, assignments, recordings of voice lessons, audio files of vocal exercises, and accompaniment for songs uploaded to Google Drive. While I record voice lessons to upload to Google Drive, voice students are encouraged to record their own lessons.
