Practice requirements:

Grades K - 2 20 minutes a day (or 10 minutes twice a day)

Grades 3 - 5 30 minutes a day (or 15 minutes twice a day)

Grades 6 - 8 45 minutes a day

Grades 9 -12 60 minutes a day

Students who are not fulfilling the practice requirements will necessitate a parent/teacher conference and a ​possible termination of lessons.

Missed Lessons: The time reserved for your child's lesson is a weekly commitment by both teacher and ​student and should take priority over other activities. If a lesson is missed because of illness, the time may be ​made up at my discretion, if I am notified by 10 AM on the day of the lesson. Lessons cancelled at the last-​minute cannot be made up. Lessons will not be rescheduled for extra-curricular activities, vacations, sports, ​etc. Missed lessons will not be refunded. Students may elect to be on a "swap list," where they may ​occasionally switch lesson times with another student on the list. If I must miss a lesson, I will make up the ​lesson at a mutually convenient time or a full refund of the missed lesson will be given or credited towards ​the next month.

I follow the Northbrook District 27 calendar and there will be no lessons during the appropriate ​break/holidays.

Weather Related Cancellations: If Northbrook District 27 cancels school for weather (snow/cold), a refund will be ​issued or credited.

Performances: A Fall recital is held in December, and a Spring recital is held in May. All students participation is ​strongly encouraged.

Tuition and Fees: Tuition is due before or on the first day of the new month. I currently accept payment thru Zelle ​or Venmo.

30 minute lesson $45

45 minute lesson $70

60 minute lesson $90

Materials: Students are expected to purchase the materials required for their course of study. I occasionally ​purchase music books to sell to students: for these I bill the student for the cost of materials plus sales tax.

Recording: I will occasionally record student performances at their lesson, in both audio and video format. I will ​also occasionally take photographs of students in the studio, at recitals or other events. These recordings or ​photos may be used in teacher workshops, on my website or in studio newsletters with permission.
