TEACHING RATES, POLICIES, Etc

RATES, POLICIES, ETC.

Rates

My current teaching rates and policies are listed below; however, they are subject to change at any time.

A 30-day notice will be given to current students of any upcoming adjustments.

HOURS AVAILABLE

My days and hours vary. Please check with me for my current availability.

WHAT I TEACH

  • For private, online lessons, I offer beginning and intermediate guitar, music theory, piano, and ukulele lessons.

WHERE I TEACH

  • I teach online via FaceTime or Skype.

RATES

I charge by the lesson. Lessons are typically once weekly. Ask me about multiple purchase discounts.

30 minutes = $30

45 minutes = $45

PAYMENT 

  • Lesson payments are due at the beginning of each lesson.
  • ZellePay.com (use my.lessons@rightnotesmusic.com as the payment address), or Apple Pay are acceptable forms of payment. 

Please note: PayPal, Venmo, or GooglePay are NOT acceptable payment options.

CANCELLATION AND MISSED LESSONS 

  • A 24-hour cancellation notice by phone or text is strongly suggested, or the student may be removed from my roster.
  • Lessons begin promptly (aside from technical difficulties), and late arrivals may lose lesson time.
  • Not only is it good practice to be on time for lessons, but it is also imperative to stay on schedule for the sake of maintaining on-time lessons. 

SCHEDULING

  • Students should commit to scheduling at least one lesson per week.
  • The day and time agreed to for lessons are reserved for each student. IF a need arises where a particular lesson needs to be rearranged, and that can be accommodated, subject to my calendar, I will do whatever I can to help you make up your lesson.  
  • Should you decide to suspend taking lessons, a one-month notice is kindly requested. Any grandfathered price or scheduling status will expire after one month.
  • 30 or 45-minute lessons are available for purchase by the month at a discount.

BREAKS

I kindly ask that students who wish to suspend lessons briefly give me a 30-day notice, with an expected return date. A timely notice gives me a heads-up to try and make up for that student’s absence and guarantees the same schedule upon their return.

Students who take breaks without adequate notice may not be guaranteed their preferred lesson slot—if at all—upon their return.
