POLICIES

• Lessons are on a session basis: Spring/Summer/Fall. To maintain a spot in my studio, you must register for lessons year round.

• Scheduling is renewed each session. 

• Contact Danielle at least 24 hours in advance if the student will be absent.

• To be eligible for a make-up lesson, a student must provide a minimum of 24 hours notice. If feeling unwell and possibly contagious, a virtual lesson is a great option to take the place of an in-person lesson.

• Tuition is a semester agreement and secures a weekly appointment.

• "Drop-in" lessons are an option but do not secure a weekly appointment and are only available based on Danielle's weekly calendar. "Drop-ins" are designed for adult musicians who want to book single lessons at their convenience. 

• Refunds will not be issued. The Make-Up Policy offers two make-ups during the semester. 

• Additional expenses include the purchasing of necessary musical materials and books.

• Danielle reserves the right to dismiss a student if any of the following situations persist after Danielle has notified the student and provided time to correct the problem: 

  • Lack of dependability and commitment exhibited in persistent absences.

  • The student consistently demonstrates a lack of willingness to participate during lesson time.

  • The student consistently fails to show diligence and determination in home practice.

  • Repeated failure to prepare assigned material.

STUDENTS: The responsibility for success lies heavily with you. In order to achieve success, you must be committed to learning. These are my expectations for each lesson:

Be prepared. Have your completed assignment from the prior week accomplished and your practice time sheet. I encourage daily practice of your materials. Remember, you are in charge of your progress. I can coach, encourage, and provide, but it is your responsibility to retain the information and put it into practice.

Approach each lesson with a positive, attentive attitude and a desire to learn.

Providing supplies and music books

          Practice area equipped with piano or keyboard (required) and metronome

Practice area free from distractions 

Interest in your child’s progress
