There is a charge of $5 for each Playing Class.

*There will be an extra $5 charge for any lesson that needs to be rescheduled.
* Skype on-line lessons will be offered in the event of inclement weather (such as snowstorms) and in the case of UNAVOIDABLE scheduling conflicts.
PRACTICE
Daily practice is necessary for steady progress and should have high priority in the family schedule. It is important that students reach their practice "goal" set for each week. Parents should show an interest in the student's practice, encourage them and praise work well done. Parents should also check to see that student records practice time and brings all materials to lesson.
PARENTS
Check your child's assignment book for communication from me as well as this website. I am pleased to work with your child. Music lessons are a wise investment into your child's overall education. Your child will find not only discipline and enhanced academic skills through music study but a lifelong source of enjoyment. You are to be congratulated as parents with vision!
