What if I can't make it to a lesson?
Let me know as soon as possible if you can't make it to a scheduled lesson. I request at least 24 hours notice, when possible. With sufficient notice you will be offered a free 'REEL Learners' submission or your lesson will be moved to a Flex-Week . Any notice that is shorter than 24 hours is considered a missed lesson and will not be offered a make-up class. For further information please look at the Studio Policies page.
Do I have to play in a recital?
03
Recitals are very rewarding experiences, and students a goal to work toward. While recitals are meant to be a fun and enjoyable experiences, I know there are some people for which the idea of performing in front of a group is enough to make them quit. So, while I strongly encourage participation in recitals, they are not mandatory.
Do I have to pay for my own course materials?
04
Private Students: Yes, you are responsible for the cost of course materials used during the lesson. These will be discussed in a consultation prior to the start of lessons.
Group Classes: No, all your materials are included in your tuition.
What do parents do during a lesson?
05
Parents have the option of staying or leaving during a lesson. If your child is under the age of 8 it is recommended that you stay for the lesson. This allows you to see what they are working on so you can assist with practice at home.​​

What is a Flex-Week?
Flex-Weeks are scheduled periodically throughout the year and are only used if you are entitled to a make-up lesson. If you are eligible, you will hear from your teacher to confirm your attendance. If you don't hear from your teacher, it means you get a week off!
​
Please refer to the 'Lesson Calendar' pdf on the Lessons page to view scheduled Flex-Weeks.
