LESSONS

During the 2024 - 2025 school year, I will be teaching lessons in my home studio on Mondays and Fridays, as well as before school on some days. I will teach at my office at Northwestern on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. 

Each student will receive 32 lessons, with one make-up lesson per semester allowed.  

There will be NO LESSONS October 16-25, and Thanksgiving week November 25-29 and December 23 - January 3.

Lessons will begin Wednesday September 4.


HOME PRACTICE

I ask for a commitment to practice at home, and expect 6 days a week. My minimum suggestions: Beginners - 120 min, Elementary - 180 min, older students -  360 min or more per week. Unusual circumstances may occur, but should be the exception.


FEES

Tuition for the 32 lessons is payable in 9 equal payments, due at the first lesson of each month, Sept. - May. $125/month for 30 min lessons, $185/month for 45 min lessons, $245 for 60 min lessons.


MAKE-UP LESSONS

One allowed per semester. Please notify me as soon as possible if you must miss. You may also swap lesson times with another family, to avoid a make-up lesson.
