Scheduling and Policies:
What is your cancellation policy?
Students must notify me at least 24 hours before the scheduled lesson time if they need to cancel or reschedule. If not, the lesson fee will not be refundable or transferable. More information can be found on the Studio Policies page.
How can I reschedule a lesson?
To reschedule a lesson, please contact me at least 24 hours before the scheduled lesson time. In cases of emergencies or unforeseen events, I will do my best to accommodate a makeup lesson within the same week.
Do you offer makeup lessons?
Makeup lessons are possible in the case of emergencies, provided that notice is given at least 24 hours in advance. These lessons can be rescheduled to take place before the next week's scheduled lesson.
Studio and Lesson Environment:
What should I bring to my first lesson?
Please bring any sheet music you’re currently working on, a notebook, and any specific pieces or goals you'd like to discuss during the lesson.
What kind of piano should I have at home for practice?
Every student should have their own piano for regular practice. While a mechanical piano is preferred, a digital keyboard with weighted keys can serve as a temporary solution if necessary.
Do I need to prepare anything before my first lesson?
Before your first lesson, think about your musical goals, favorite pieces, and any prior experience with the piano. If you have specific pieces you'd like to work on, feel free to bring those to the lesson.
