Tuition
Missed Lesson Procedure
Practice means success! School, sports and life battle for attention every day. I work with students to help them set reasonable goals, to find times and ways to practice piano to ensure progress. Music relieves stress. It nurtures emotional health. If daily practice isn't possible, we come up with time management ideas. The student and circumstances are carefully considered. Not every student has the same issues. I so understand that! Yes, it is possible to be flexible, tohave a sense of humor and to still hold the highest musical standards!
Teacher, Parents and Students make a great team working and having fun together!

Missed Lesson Procedure
- Students may have two make-up lessons for the academic year.
- Online lessons, via Zoom or FaceTime, are available and encouraged for whatever reason. Useful for snow days, icy days, "no ride" days and sick days (Students are expected to stay home if they are or have been sick!). Online Lessons may be part-time or full-time.
- Lessons cancelled due to teacher issue, either my illness, or a family event, will be made up during the last two weeks of June.
- At the Lesson
- Parents are invited to be present at lessons., even online! It, in fact, is preferred by the teacher! If a parent knows what has been worked on, and what is expected, the parent will be their student's best helper at home when needed.
- Students are expected to keep a lesson notebook for assignments notes, attendance record and practice records.
- If lessons are at the studio, siblings are required to sit quietly in the waiting area provided. Noisy video games and snacks are not permitted. Reading books or doing homework is encouraged!!
