Welcome to my teaching studio!
Practice policy:
I expect students to practice so they get the full benefit from lessons. Students should practice about 6 days each week, with 1 day off. I recommend less time per day for beginning players, and more as students progress. The amount you practice will depend on your individual goals!
Beginning students (5th-7th grade): 15 minutes per day
Intermediate students (8th-9th grade): 30 minutes per day
Advanced students (10th-12th grade): 45-60 minutes per day
Adult students: flexible time commitment
Attendance policy:
Students are expected to be on time for their scheduled lessons. If something comes up, please let me know at least 24 hours before our lesson so I can adjust my schedule. If I must reschedule, I will let you know as soon as possible, and never less than 24 hours before our lesson time. Parents are welcome to be present for lessons, and there’s a seating area outside my office where you can hang out.
Prices:
At my office or over zoom:
$40 – 30 minute
$60 – 60 minute
At your house:
$45 – 30 minute
$70 – 60 minute
I’m happy to offer a free trial lesson to anyone interested in joining my private studio!
For payment, I can accept cash, check, Zelle or Venmo. I’m happy to arrange payment plans as well. I want lessons to be accessible to anyone who’s interested, and am happy to discuss accommodations for students who might have difficulty paying my full rate.
Teaching statement:
My mission is to equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to achieve their musical goals. Whether you’re just starting, have played for a while, or are an adult wanting new ideas, I would love to help! I tailor lessons to each individual student, and we will work on specific fundamentals, etudes and solos depending on your goals and interests. We can also work on any school band/orchestra repertoire, and audition music for regional, all-state or school auditions.
