🎵 WHAT ARE LESSONS? 🎵
In this class, I give private, individualized, instrument instruction on the flute in a relaxed, comfortable environment. Typically lessons include warm-ups to improve tone quality and music from an appropriate method book. While this is a typical course of study, lessons can be highly customized for your child. Lessons will cover music reading and theory, flute tone, technique, and flute literature. Beginning students will use a method book and will transition to scales, etudes, and solos. Throughout the lesson, the child will receive notes on improvement and continued instruction that will be unique to each student's specific needs. If your child needs help with a specific piece of music, kindly scan it for me ahead of time. My teaching approach is to focus on improving a child's overall knowledge and skillset of their instrument. Anyone can "practice" with your child. A fundamentals-based approach develops independent mastery and skill. Over many years of teaching flute lessons, I've seen this approach lead to great success.

🎵 CANCELLATION POLICY🎵
This class is set up as an ongoing class. Please think of that as a standing appointment you're setting up with me and your learner. You'll be charged every Sunday by Outschool unless you've told me in advance that you cannot meet that week. 

I cannot provide make-up lessons to students for no-shows unless you message me 24 hours in advance. In the event that you message me 24 hours in advance, I allow two makeup lessons per quarter. 

Quarters are as follows:
- January 1st through March 31st
- April 1st through June 30th
- July 1st through September 30th
- October 1st through December 31st

I cannot provide makeup time for students arriving late to class. Outschool policy states that teachers are not required to wait longer than 10 minutes past the scheduled starting time.  

Lessons canceled with under 24 hours notice can be refunded by request of the child's guardian due to illness or family emergency only. In the event of either, please request a refund for that class when you notify me of the emergency. Refunds cannot be honored after the week of the missed class.
