$120 for 30 min lesson for 2 persons (4 lessons /one lesson per week)

For a Group of 3

I require a one hour session simply because I need to interact with each student.

$200 for a one hour lesson for 3 persons (4 lessons /one lesson per week)

Traveling to your home: (includes travel time and gas)

Travel less than 12 miles round-trip add $10 per lesson

Between 12 & 20 miles round-trip add $20 per lesson

Regarding Group Lessons:

·          If you have more than one person in a 30 min session you will not get as much one-on-one; if there are questions I will have to take them one at a time and it is not as productive.

·         I prefer meeting students individually.

Studio Rules and Etiquette:
Learning about the voice and playing guitar are exciting and enriching activities. They are also ones that require a serious commitment to practice and lessons. I'm sure you'll agree with my philosophy that discipline and persistence are necessary in order to for any goal worth achieving. It is with this philosophy in mind that I ask for you to  adhere to my studio requirements:

Cancellation Policy:

If a student needs to cancel a lesson for any reason, I must be notified 24-hours before the start time of the lesson (unless it is a life threatening emergency). This gives me sufficient time to schedule another student during that time slot. Otherwise, the student is required to pay for the lesson.

When it is possible, I will make up the lesson in one of three ways:

1. We can reschedule for another time during the day of the original lesson.
2. We can make time on another day during the same week.
3. I can make myself available for the lesson in a subsequent week.

Lesson Preparation:
I expect all my students to be prepared prior to every lesson, guitars tuned, lesson assignment signed and completed by parents (if applicable) and if vocal lessons, vocal warm-ups prior to lesson.
