The first lesson is free!
| I. | I encourage
contact in the event the student runs into problems or has questions. As
an added value, I make myself available all during the week, not just at
the time of your lessons. Please feel free to call or email
at any time. It is important to me that you make good, steady progress. |
|
| II. | For parents, I
encourage periodic reviews of a student’s progress. We want to insure
that you are getting a good value for your investment. |
|
| III | No long term
contract or commitment is required. You will only need to prepay as you go in 2 week or 1
month intervals. |
|
| IV. | When
you refer a new client to me, you get a free lesson. |
|
| V. | I
will provide the learning materials. Please bring a 3 ring binder and
your musical equipment. In the event that you are unable to bring your
instrument, one will be provided for the duration of the lesson. There are no hidden fees or things to buy down the
road. I don't believe in ambushing people with hidden costs. |
|
| VI. |
Please be on time for your
appointment. As stated, I sell the time and not the lesson. Lessons
will start and end at the appointed time. This
insures that you won't have to wait to begin
your lesson if someone else is late. It also serves to protect
everyone's schedule. I do my best to show people the respect they deserve. |
|
| VII. | If
I cancel a lesson within 72 hours without making other arrangements, your
next lesson is free. If a client cancels within 72 without making
other arrangements, then the client is still charged. I sell the time and
not the lesson. This keeps everyone accountable and on track. Of course there are times when exceptions may occur (extreme weather, family matters etc). You will find |
|
| VIII. | If you request an appointment
to be rescheduled, be advised that this reschedule will only affect the
current lesson. If you desire your whole series of lessons to be
rescheduled to reflect that change, then you must specify that. This
usually only affects students on a 2 week rotation. For Example: Lets say that you are scheduled for a lesson on the 1st and the 14th of the month and cannot make the lesson scheduled for the 1st so you request that lesson be changed to the the 7th. The lesson on the 14th will still stand unless you request otherwise. |
|
| IX. | If
you would like to bring a guest to your lesson, please contact me first
to make arrangements (with the exception of parents and children; parents
are always welcome). Learning takes focus. We prefer to avoid unnecessary
distractions. |
|
| X. | If
you have a cold, the flu, a virus or other illness and still feel well
enough to attend your lesson, please
let
me know that you aren't feeling well. |
| XI. | Rates reflect the time spent with, and the needs of, the student. Everyone is different so different timed arrangements are available in 30, 45 and 60 minute increments. We will discuss pricing during your first free lesson. It's important that we reach something that is fair for you. |

I have seen more often than not, guitar teachers who are glad to take your hard earned money, but are unreliable and not dedicated to getting personally involved in order to help you. I am a professional and we will be respectful to your time and investment and ask that you do the same. For
students who do well, free bonus time in our production studio is available. Contact
me for details.
For those of you who are unable to drive, I am located conveniently near several train stations in a comfortable and safe environment, and can arrange to get you to and from the train. Perran
