Frequently Asked Questions

​Getting Started

  • Can I try a lesson before signing up?

    • Absolutely! I offer free trial lessons so you or your child can get a feel for the learning environment and see if it’s a good fit. Let me know what you’re interested in, and I’ll help you find a time that works.

  • How do I sign up for ongoing lessons?

    • Once you're ready to begin, please reach out via call, text, or email and I’ll help you get scheduled for a weekly lesson time.

  • Can I refer a friend?

    • Yes! If someone you refer signs up for a month of lessons, you'll get two free lesson credits—and they’ll receive a free trial lesson plus one credit. It's a win-win!

Lesson Details

  • How often are lessons?

    • Lessons happen once a week at your scheduled time. If you ever need to make a change, just reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

  • Do you offer group lessons?

    • Yes! I offer small group lessons for up to four students. Group lessons are a fun and engaging way to learn alongside friends or siblings, while still receiving personal attention.

  • Do I need an instrument for lessons?

    • While it is ideal to have an instrument for home practice, I bring plenty of instruments for the lessons themselves so it is not required to have an instrument. ​

  • How do I pause or stop lessons?

    • You’re welcome to stop at any time—just give me two weeks’ notice so I can plan accordingly.

Scheduling + Makeup Lessons

  • What if I need to miss a lesson?

    • If you cancel at least 24 hours in advance, you’ll receive a makeup credit to use later. Lessons canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice aren’t eligible for credit.

  • How do makeup credits work?

    • Makeup credits are issued when cancellations are made with 24+ hours’ notice

  • How do I book a makeup lesson?

    • Just send me a quick message, and I’ll let you know what open times I have. You can choose what works best for your schedule.
