- Please look regularly at the calendar so you know when you do and do not have lessons and group class!
- During the course of a year, each student receives a combination of exactly 48 class and private lessons and registration. Contract is for two full semesters from August 2023 through 5 summer lessons through August 2024. Should a student move from the area before the end of the contract year, you will be reimbursed if you have paid ahead.

- If there is no school on a piano lesson day, please feel free to contact me for an earlier time. (Any time I can get done earlier in the evening is a BONUS for everyone!)
- Arrival at lessons: students should spend waiting time warming up or using the computer for theory and ear training exercises.
