What should you bring to your first lesson?
The first lesson is my chance to learn more about you and for you to learn more about me. This way, we can establish what your goals are and what the best way to structure your lessons to achieve those goals.
Students should come with their instrument (unless rental arrangements have been made prior to the first lesson), picks (finger picks if taking banjo or a flat pick if taking mandolin or guitar), a pen and paper if you wish to take notes, and a tuner.
If you are renting an instrument from me, bring a filled-out and signed copy of the rental agreement
Lesson Pricing
My recommendation is that students take lessons weekly to see the greatest results and to build their skills as quickly as possible. After the first lesson, students are required to pay monthly, with payment due on the first lesson of the month. If you start partway through the month, after the first lesson, students will pay for the remainder of the month and then start paying for the full month at the beginning of the next month. Note: I do not accept lesson by lesson payments. One month is required for enrollment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cancellations
In the event that a student must reschedule, at least 24 hours notice is needed. There is no guarantee of a reschedule the week of the lesson. If there is not ample notice, the student is expected to pay for that lesson. If I have to cancel a lesson the time will be credited towards another lesson.
