Materials:
I will inform the parents or students of where to go to buy certain books for the student. This is not a charge covered in the tuition.
Students must have access to a regularly tuned acoustic piano. At the early levels I can make an exception for students to study on an electronic keyboard, but not for students playing advanced repertoire.
Tuition:
$100/month for 30-minute lessons and $180/month for 60-minute lessons. The respective lessons are paid via the "Payments" tab on my website. Tuition is due by the first lesson of the month and will be late by the 15th of each month, resulting in a 15% late charge.
Studio Etiquette:
If the student arrives early, please sit quietly in the foyer until the previous lesson is finished. The students must wash their hands every time before and after playing the piano.

Mission: To share my passion for the piano with my students and enable them to express themselves through music.
Expectations: https://www.youtube.com/watchv=eY5YVNS0UCo
Students show up to every lesson with all of their books including a notebook for me to write notes.
They should arrive to the lesson having practiced at least the minimum requirement for their level throughout the week. Students should attend their lesson even if they haven’t practiced, but the expectation is daily practice.
Parents should come to the lessons of their students as the added support of the parents will increase the student’s success on the instrument. At the higher levels, this is not necessary, but it still can be beneficial to the student’s musical education.
Showing up late to lessons is unacceptable for the student or myself. I understand things come up, so I will offer a make-up lesson if our time is ever cut short.
The students will be apart of recitals throughout the school year. This means they will be required to learn and memorize pieces by certain deadlines and make attendance to these events a high priority.
