Guitar Lesson Policy & Information
I am flexible on some of the following. Contact me If you have special needs and we can work something out.
Lesson Prices
(Note: These prices are due to increase soon. Current student's prices will not be affected. Lock in this price by starting lessons soon!)
UPDATE: 10/29/2011
Prices are to increase within the next week. I am currently charging too little for my services and the market for my services has increased around me. My services will still be very affordable but I must at least close the gap slightly between other teachers pricing in the state and my own. Thank you for your understanding.
STUDIO PRICES:
Monthly Basis-$160.00 per month, due on the first lesson of each month.
This is for 4 One Hour lessons each month at the rate of $40.00 each. If there are 5 lesson days in a particular month, the rate changes to $200.00. This is the preferred payment method.
Payment is preferred before the first lesson of each month. This reserves your spot. If you need to make other arrangements, please let me know. Again, I am pretty flexible, so just give me a call to let me know.
Attendance is very important because I pay for studio space even if you do not show up.
Every student can have one make-up lesson per month provided that you call me at least the night before the lesson. If notification is not given within the stated time, I will assume that you are a “no show” and you will be charged for that lesson. (Email is not an acceptable cancellation notification)
Holidays
If there is one less lesson in a month due to a holiday, the price of the month will be pro-rated ($120.00, or for the amount of lessons given).
Please let me know when you plan to stop taking lessons so the time slot will be available to others.
HOUSECALLS:
House calls have sliding scale pricing. The
amount will not go below studio rates and varies with where you live.
(They are more costly because I have to pay for gas and other travel
expenses. More important, is the fact that there is time between lessons
that I am spending traveling. In a studio setting lessons can be
scheduled back to back and allows for them to be less expensive)
Please contact me regarding housecall pricing.
Payment Policy
Most students pay by personal check. You may also pay with cash if you like. Prepaid lessons are non-refundable.
Please bring payment when due. Most students are set up to pay on the last lesson of each month. I am required to pay my studio fees monthly and since student enrollment can fluctuate this makes timely payment very important.
IMPORTANT: THERE WILL BE A $25.00 FEE ON ALL RETURNED CHECKS. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS!! Most banks charge the depositor for a returned check. I hope the reason for this fee is self explanatory.
For cancellations, please call 899-7625.
