Online Lessons are held via Zoom or Skype.

Recurring weekly lessons are recommended to all students.

Prospective students will be scheduled for one individual lesson to meet before registering for a full month of lessons. This initial lesson is free of charge as it is important to see if we will be a good fit for each other.

Families opting for Suzuki-style lessons must be prepared to assist with at-home learning. The initial lesson for beginning Suzuki Students and families will include some singing, and discussing goals and expectations of my Suzuki families.

Students are expected to come prepared to lessons with their instrument in good working order, any relevant music/handouts, music stand, pencil, and a notebook to track what to practice during the week.

A metronome, tuner, and recording device (a phone or tablet will do) are recommended to enhance at-home learning.

How much should I be practicing? I expect my students to play 6 days a week. If that means simply running through a scale or two because that is all you had time for then that is great! What matters is making a point to play. That being said…

Lessons are the most productive when a student arrives to their lesson prepared so we can “dig in” to the music. One of my favorite things about teaching is when my students come to lessons with questions, it shows me that the student is truly engaging with their cello practice.

It is my responsibility to teach students how to practice efficiently, and it is the student's responsibility to practice outside of their lesson time. I always make a point to provide my students with a variety of ways to practice what they are working on outside of their lesson.

If you must cancel a lesson, please notify me at least 24 hours beforehand by email, text, or phone. Lessons cancelled with at least 24 hours notice will be credited towards a future lesson. Exceptions will be made for extenuating circumstances.

No refunds or credits will be given to cancellations made within 24 hours of the lesson.

Monthly invoices will be sent out prior to the beginning of each new month. Please notify me of any lessons that will be missed as soon as possible so I can keep my records up to date.

Payment is due at or prior to the first lesson of the month.

If payment is not received by the initial lesson, they will be charged half the cost of a lesson fee, in addition to what is owed. For example, if a student taking hour lessons does not pay by their first lesson they will owe for the month plus $25. If the lesson fee is not paid the day of the second lesson of the month, the student will not receive lessons until they are paid in full.*

Payment through Venmo is preferred (a link will be provided in each invoice) though cash, check, and PayPal are accepted.

*Please contact me if there are special circumstances, I do not want to place undue burden upon my students or their families!
