Festivals, Recitals and Competitions

Festival, recital or competition information is provided to each student
few months in advance.
The enrollment decision remains with the student and their parents.
Events are in the Austin and San Marcos area.
Participation in the National Piano Guild Audition is encouraged but remains with the student and their parents.
All fees for events must be paid in full, a week before the application deadline.

Materials

Practice

Please encourage your child to practice toward completion of the homework assignments.
Lessons will be much more rewarding with regular practice.

I can provide guidance to parents on how to assist at home so that practice sessions are more productive.

Lessons

Lessons will begin at the student’s scheduled time.
If a student is late for their lesson, they will only receive the remaining time allotted for their lesson.
Students should arrive for their scheduled time.
For parents of students older than 6, please monitor your child’s lesson from the waiting room.
If you have questions, students should ensure that they bring both their music and notebook to each lesson.

Cancellation

Cancellation of a lesson requires a 24-hour notice, prior to the lesson. In this case, a make-up lesson is given.
All make-up lessons must be taken within 4 weeks of the missed lesson. No refund for missed lessons is given.
Cancellation of a lesson with less than a 24-hour notice, will not be given a make-up lesson nor a refunded payment for that lesson.
If lessons are discontinued for any period of time, then a new enrollment and enrollment fee is required upon return. The time slot and tuition may change.
If you plan to discontinue piano lessons, please give a written notice, 1 month before the desired end date.
If I am unable to continue lessons, all unused lesson payments will be fully refunded.

Payment

Student enrollment requires a $50.00 per student non-refundable fee.
Only payments in cash or ZELLE are accepted. My ZELLE email is: anobelan23@gmail.com

Tuition payments are due the last week of the month, to cover the next month’s set of lessons.
There is a $25.00 late fee if not paid on time.
