Trial Lessons
If you are just starting with me, the first and second is $60 (payable by cash or check). The fee covers the lesson and materials I will give you. The first 2 weeks is where we decide whether there is a good fit mutually. After that, lessons are payable in advance by semester. If you are joining mid-semester, the fee is prorated.
Why semester billing?
I make a commitment of my time for your child and provide all the materials, music. By committing to a 10 to 14 week session, we can accomplish a lot – dependent on student participation. All lessons are private and customized towards your child’s interests and abilities.
The semester rate for new students is $59/lesson times the number of lessons in the current semester- usually 10 to 14. This may differ from Monday students to Wednesday students, for example, due to public holidays. There is also a $30 material fee so I can buy the music and books your child needs.
Recitals
There is no charge for attending the Winter Recital though it is highly recommended and is a mini concert production. There is usually a huge growth spurt emotionally, intellectually and mentally in my students who take part. Here’s an article about Why Music Recitals Are Like Life Skills 101.
I rarely get openings and I’m extremely grateful to have such a wonderful community of students and families. The best way to stay informed is to register on my waiting list.
