Studio Policies/Fees

 

Students of all ages and levels of music education are welcome! I am available to teach at Middle Tennessee State University or at your own home or school.

 

 

Lesson Objectives

Lessons will focus on developing good tone, technique, and musicality through recommended exercises, etudes, and standard repertoire based on the needs of the student. I will discuss how students should practice and what they need to work on based on their abilities, needs, and available time commitment.

 

Practice

It is extremely important and required that students practice consistently and for parents to encourage their child to do so if needed. In order for lessons to be productive and worthwhile for the student, whoever is paying for the lessons, and even the teacher, it is important that the student is prepared each week. Students who do not practice should not expect substantial progress.

 

Here is my recommended practice schedule:

Beginner: 20 to 30 minutes 4-5 days a week

Intermediate: 30 minutes to 1 hour 5-6 days a week

Advanced: 1 to 2 hours 6-7 days a week

 

 

Lesson Supplies

• Flute in good, working condition

• Bag to carry music and supplies

• Pencil

• Metronome and Tuner

• Any music recommended by the instructor (to be determined in lessons)

• Notebook/Notepad to write down assignments and notes

 

Cancellations

If the student needs to be absent for any reason, I must be notified 24 hours in advance or the lesson will be considered unexcused and expected to be paid for. If I must be absent, I will notify you as soon as possible at your recommended number or email.

 

Payment Policy

Lessons can be paid for at the beginning of each lesson or in advance by the month or semester.

30 minute lesson- $12

1 hour lesson- $22

 

Performances

Students are encouraged to participate in as many musical opportunities as their schedules allow. I will do my best to notify parents and the student of any local flute festivals, competitions, solo and flute choir opportunities, youth orchestras, honor bands, or any other performing outlets I may discover.

 

 

I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge and passion for music with you!
