​

STUDIO LESSON PRICES:

 

On a Monthly Basis: 

$300.00 per month, due on the first lesson of each month. This is for four one hour lessons each month at the rate of $75.00 each. If there are 5 lesson days in a particular month, the rate reflects this at $375.00. Bi-weekly lessons are not an option at this time. Prepay for a entire year and receive a substantial discount! Please contact me for more information regarding yearly pricing.

 

Payment is preferred before the first lesson of each month, and reserves your spot. If you need to make other arrangements, just call to let me know. I can be flexible!

 

MAKEUP LESSONS AND CANCELLATIONS

 

Attendance is very important for your development as a guitar player. Even if you haven't practiced, attending a scheduled lesson is still beneficial.

 

If notification is not given at least the night before your lesson, I will assume that you are a “no show” and you will be charged for that lesson. Every student can have one make-up lesson per month provided that you call me at least the night before the lesson. Email is not a preferred cancellation method and a call or text allows me to see that you need cancel in the quickest amount of time. If two consecutive lessons result in a "no call/no show", the time slot in question may be filled by another student.

​

HOLIDAYS

​

If there is one less lesson in a month due to a holiday, the price of the month will be pro-rated ($225.00, or for the amount of lessons given). Holidays that are always lesson free include Christmas and Thanksgiving. If you have a special holiday or vacation that requires you to miss a lesson, just let me know and we can schedule a makeup lesson.

​

HOUSE CALLS

​

House calls are more costly due to travel time and expenses, so they  have sliding scale pricing, but the amount will not be less than studio rates and will vary with where you live in the Seattle area. Studio lessons can be scheduled back to back, and I don't have to spend time and extra money commuting, which allows for them to be more affordable. Please contact me regarding house call pricing.

​

PAYMENT POLICY

 

Most students pay by personal check, Venmo or Zelle. You may also pay with cash if you like. All prepaid lessons are non-refundable. Please bring payment when due. Most students pay on the last lesson of each month to reserve their slot for the next month.

  

 

 

For cancellations, please call or text (206) 395-8327.
