New student pricing for private lessons

Piano Lesson Pricing
In-home Piano Lessons (I travel to you)
30-minute session per week = $45 ($40 if more than one student in your household)
60-minute session per week = $75

In-home pricing is based on local travel to towns within Chester County, PA including, Glenmoore, Chester Springs, Exton, Downingtown, Elverson, Coventry and other towns surrounding Glenmoore. Price may vary depending on the level of student and educational goals.

I also travel to areas within Delaware County and Montgomery County. Contact me with your location and I'll be happy to put together custom pricing for you.

In-Studio Piano Lessons
30-minute session = $35
60-minute session = $65

Studio lessons are conducted in my home. I'm located near Ludwig's Corner, PA.

Payment
Tuition is due at the first lesson of each month and paid in advance. The monthly total will change depending on how many lessons fall within a month. Other factors would include vacations and holidays. I will notify you prior to each month with a total.

Reimbursement for lesson books that I purchase for you or your child(ren) can be paid either at the time you receive the books or with your next monthly tuition payment.

Rescheduling / No Refund Policy
I do understand that things come up last minute...you need to work late or you child is sick. Occasionally, I will need to reschedule as well. I will always do my best to accommodate your need to reschedule in order to avoid cancellations.

  • Cancelled lessons are non-refundable.
  • A lesson may be rescheduled with 24 hours notice. I will make every attempt to find a time for the make-up lesson that accommodates your schedule. However, if the make-up lesson cannot be reschedule within 2 weeks of the missed lesson (due to our mutual unavailability) then the lesson is automatically cancelled.
  • Only one lesson per month may be rescheduled.
  • As an alternative to rescheduling, I offer the option of extending the length of the next 2-3 lessons to make up the time as long as my schedule permits.
  • Failer to arrive at a lesson altogether (either in-studio or are not at home when I arrive) results in that lesson being automatically cancelled.

Liability and clearances
  • Parents of any underage student must be present (in-studio) or at home for the duration of the lesson. It is against my policy to teach any under age student without a parent or guardian present. There are absolutely no exceptions made.
  • I maintain current clearances and criminal background check with the state of Pennsylvania. I'm happy to provide these certificates upon request.


What a student needs for their first lesson at home.

  • An acoustic or digital piano (with a proper bench) in an area with no distractions.
  • A chair set beside the piano for me.
  • A notebook for me to write notes and homework each week.
  • Plenty of enthusiasm and ready for fun!
