What lesson lengths do you offer?
We offer 30-minute, 45-minute, and 60-minute weekly private lessons. For young beginners (ages 5–7), 30 minutes is typically ideal. As students advance, longer lessons allow for deeper work on technique, theory, and repertoire. Your teacher will advise on the right length as your child grows.
Do you offer online/virtual lessons?
Yes — virtual lessons are a permanent part of what we offer, available via Zoom, FaceTime, Google Meet, or Skype. Many families love the convenience, and our teachers are fully experienced with online instruction. Same expert teachers, same curriculum, just from home. Virtual lessons are available year-round.
What happens if my child misses a lesson?
During the fall and spring semesters, we allow up to two cancellations and two make-up lessons per semester. Make-up lessons must be taken within the same semester — they cannot carry over. We ask for 24 hours’ notice for any cancellation. Please see our full semester policies for details.
