My Terms of Service:

  1. My Service

    • I provide 30 / 45 / 60 minute, in-home music lessons for long-term students. I bill at a constant rate on a monthly basis.

      Lessons are billed @ $80/hr. This rate accounts for my travel time and expenses.

    • 30 Minute Lessons include a 10$ travel charge. This Charge is not present in longer lessons. This is a one-time charge, per lesson, per household.

    • Multiple students in one home are charged at a longer time interval, which negates the travel charge.

      - Two students in 1 home @ 30minutes / each = $320 /1 Hour Lessons Monthly.

    2. Please Reach Out

    • Teaching Music is My Life. Please always feel free to reach out to me with questions, ideas, and concerns by phone or email and I will strive to respond to you in a timely manner (up to 48hrs).

    3. Cancellations

    • Lessons can be cancelled and refunded with a minimum 7-Day Notice. Please be mindful with cancellations. Repeated and frequent cancellations disrupt my schedule and limit my ability to be productive with my time.

    • Monthly Subscriptions May be Cancelled at Any Time. All lessons will be refunded, except those lessons which occur within 7- Day Cancellation Period.

    • I do not offer reschedules for missed lessons. If it’s very convenient for me, I will offer.

    4. Billing Issues

    • Please reach out to me with any billing issues and I will handle these issues immediately.

    5. Scheduling

    • I teach Monday - Thursday, during After-School Hours. We will discuss scheduling during our consultation.

    • If you need a schedule change, please contact me and I will do my best to accommodate you.

    6. The Nature of My Traveling Work

    • Due to the nature of my traveling work, I am sometimes behind/ahead of schedule. There are many factors that can delay my travel. I ask that my showing up 15 minutes Early or Late, be expected due to the nature of my work. I will always strive to be on time.

    7. Productivity

    • Please have your child tune and set up their instrument prior to our lesson time. Tuning and Set-up during lessons wastes precious time and your money. I aim to be as productive with my students as possible.

    • I will provide Suzuki Instrumental Recordings -and- Suzuki Piano Accompaniments. Your child needs to listen to these Suzuki music recordings. This will drastically increase the rate and quality of your child’s learning.

    • Students need to practice. I will set define clear practice schedules. It is the parents responsibility to ensure that a practice schedule is maintained. I will drop students who routinely do not practice.

    8. Mandatory Materials

    • I will provide basic class materials (Suzuki Books and Method Books) and I will request reimbursement through email. I aim to be frugal with my material requests. I do not profit off of materials.

    • Every Student needs to be equipped with:

      • music stand

      • a suitable seat

      • a metronome

      • tuner

      • A Bluetooth Speaker and an offline electronic device that can store audio and connect to blue-tooth. These items need to be easily accessible or they will not be used.

    9. Changes to My Agreement

    • Eventually, I will make changes to “My Agreement”. When I do so, I will notify my clients by email and clearly explain the changes that I have made and why I made them. Please always feel free to ask questions or state concerns.
