Private Lessons:
Cost: There is a studio fee of $30 each year which covers printing, binders, access to my music library, incentives and the year end recital. Theory and lesson books are extra.
Lessons are paid per semester, with the option to pay by installment based on the following rates:
- 30 min lessons - $27.50
- 45 min lessons - $41.25(required for those 10 years and up)
- 60 min lessons - $55
In-person Option
- all lessons in person, one-on-one, at my home studio. Students must agree to flip online when needed due to illness (if they are well enough for a lesson), weather, or for any other reason such as lack of transportation
- all lessons are online with the option of one lesson per month in person at my studio
- group of 10 one hour private lessons at a cost of $570
- this comes with the flexibility to "miss" and reschedule 2 lessons during a 12 week period. Prior notice is required. However students must commit to completing the 10 lessons within 12 week period.
- lessons may be in person or online
- no studio fee but books are extra
- alternatively, adults may sign up for regular lessons as described under "private lessons", but must adhere to the policies that give less flexibility.
- lessons arranged at a convenient time for both student and teacher
- no commitment required since you sign up for one lesson at a time
- Cost : $75 per hour - no extra costs unless you decide to purchase books
- recommended only for busy adults that have some experience playing and are looking for specific guidance.
- Groups of 3 students enjoy a 45 minute lesson
- Groups of 4 students enjoy an hour lesson.
- parents save a significant amount of money with this option (about $250 per year compared to a regular 30 minute private lesson)
- no annual studio fee
- books included at whatever level the student needs
- students enjoy engaging in the learning process with others present creating a fun atmosphere of sharing achievements
- students must be willing to work somewhat independently and be able to focus with other students around them.
- Longer lesson time for less cost
- no makeups available for missed lessons
