Private Studio Policies and Lesson Fees
Fees
· 30 minute lessons (Suzuki book 1), $45/lesson
· 45 minute lessons (Suzuki books 2-4), $60/lesson
· 60 minute lessons (Suzuki books 4- and above), $75/lesson
Cancellation
I will give up to 2 lessons rescheduled within 24 hours notice.
Any lesson missed without 24-hour advance notice will be counted as given.
If there is weather that does not permit coming to the lesson, we will set up a Zoom lesson.
Sickness
If you or your child is sick, please do not come to the lesson! If you cannot make it to a lesson last minute because of illness-- text me to let me know and I will do my best to reschedule.
Practice
Students should be practicing at least the amount of their lesson time every day. If students are 9 or younger, they should be practicing with an adult checking in. If they are 9-14, a parent should continue to monitor the practice time to make sure they are getting through everything in their practice books. Each student is different and will need different amounts of help from parents as they gradually take more responsibility for their practicing. I write very detailed instructions about practice in their student books to help organize practice time at home.
Any Issues?
It is important that we form a student/parent/teacher triangle that communicates well. If you have any issues that you would like to discuss (about lessons, practicing, technique or expectations) please feel free to call or email me! Any feedback is helpful for me to be a better teacher for your child.
