Studio policy

Weekly lesson packages are available in 30-, 45-, 60-, and 90-minute durations. Tuition is calculated based on the total number of lessons in each session and is billed in advance at a flat rate. This proactive payment schedule ensures clarity, consistency, and convenience for both students and families.

Tuition is due at the beginning of each session and is non-refundable. Payments are to be made in full before the first lesson of the session. Payments can be made via [insert payment method]. If you are facing financial difficulties, please reach out to discuss possible arrangements, as I want to support your musical journey in every way possible.

Student recitals are held three times a year at Steinway Hall, offering a professional and inspiring environment for students to showcase their progress. These recitals provide a valuable opportunity for students to perform in front of an audience, whether they are beginners or advanced musicians. Students are encouraged to dress nicely for the occasion, with attire appropriate for a formal performance setting.

I encourage my students to participate in performance opportunities such as NYSSMA, the RCM exam, and piano competitions. While I fully support these events as a means to motivate growth, my primary focus is on musical expression, personal development, and building confidence. I encourage students to use competitions as a tool for self-improvement, rather than focusing solely on winning or being the best. Ultimately, the most important aspect of these experiences is the opportunity for growth and artistic expression.

If you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. Lessons canceled with less than 24 hours' notice will be charged in full. If illness or an emergency arises, I will make every effort to accommodate a makeup lesson, depending on availability.

Please arrive on time for your lessons. If you arrive late, the lesson will still end at the scheduled time. To ensure that each lesson is as productive as possible, come prepared with any required materials, such as books, sheet music, and practice logs.

Clear and open communication is essential to your success as a student. If you have any questions, concerns, or need guidance at any point, please feel free to reach out. I am here to support you and help you achieve your musical goals.

I look forward to working with you and helping you develop your musical skills, confidence, and creativity!
