Lesson Attendance 

• Students are expected to attend at least four lessons per month, consistently and on time. 

• If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give at least 24 hours’ notice. 

• Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged in full. (Emergencies are considered on a case-by-case basis.) 

Practice Expectations 

• Progress happens when students engage consistently, lessons are only part of the process. 

• Students should show regular effort in practice, even if progress feels slow. 

• I work best with students who are invested in developing their skills over time. 

• Progress takes time and consistent effort, but I also believe students thrive when they enjoy the process. I encourage healthy practice habits, but not pressure or perfectionism. This studio works best for families who support growth without burnout.

Lesson Format

• Lessons are available in-person and virtually. 

• Students must bring all assigned materials (scales, etudes, music) to each lesson. 

• You’ll need your own violin in playable condition. Functional bow, working strings, properly sized. 

• A trial lesson is available for new students. Ongoing lessons depend on fit and mutual agreement. 

Payment 

• Lesson payments are due at the beginning of each month, based on your scheduled time slot. 

• I accept Venmo, Zelle, or cash.

• Missed lessons can be made up, but are not refunded or prorated, regardless of notice. 

• Ongoing lessons are considered a monthly commitment, please communicate any planned breaks in advance.

• Trial lessons are paid individually at the time of scheduling. 

Missed Lessons and Makeups

• Monthly tuition secures your reserved time slot. 

• If you give at least 24 hours’ notice, your missed lesson will be made up, either based on availibility or during a future 5-week month. 

• Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice are not eligible for a makeup, except in emergencies. 

• Students who frequently cancel or reschedule may forfeit their spot. 

Vacations & Extended Time Off 

• Monthly tuition is required to hold your spot, even if you're missing one or two weeks. 

• If you plan to miss the entire month, you may skip payment, but your time slot may be released and offered to another student.
