Lessons & tuition Taught from Fresno, California
CHAPTER I

Three plans. One decision: how often you want to work.

Every plan is a prepaid month of 60-minute lessons on Google Meet, at a cadence you set before the month begins.

Plan Lessons per week Hours per month Monthly tuition
Weekly
The standard. Steady work, week to week.
1 4–5 $220
Twice-weekly
Intensive study — a second hour to correct before habits set.
2 8–10 $340
Three-times-weekly
Intensive study — for repertoire being prepared to performance.
3 12–15 $460

The twice- and three-times-weekly plans are not a discount on the weekly one — they're a decision to study at a higher frequency. Choose them when you want the work to move, not to save money per hour.

TABLE I
Included with every plan Office Hours — a live group hour, Thursdays at 5:00 PM Pacific (12:00 AM your time)
Before you enrol A 30-minute introductory lesson, $20 — credited to your first month if you enrol within 30 days
CHAPTER II

One stable amount, on the first of the month.

Tuition doesn't move with the calendar. Some months carry four lessons and some carry five; the studio calendar balances holidays and long months across the teaching year, and you pay the same either way.

Collection runs on Stripe with ACH direct debit, renewing on the 1st. Change or cancel your plan any time before the next payment date — it takes effect the following month. Cadence is fixed once a month has begun, and part-months aren't refunded.

Enrollment start

Enrol after your introductory lesson and regular lessons begin September 1 — the first of the following month. You're welcome at Office Hours in the meantime.

Existing students paying by Zelle may continue during the migration; new enrollments start on Stripe.

CHAPTER III

When life gets in the way.

The weekly hour is held for you, so rescheduling is deliberately narrow — one move a month, planned rather than improvised. Here is exactly how it works.

I The allowance

One regular lesson per month, with at least 24 hours' notice.

II Where it lands

The first Friday of the following month — or a slot another student has freed.

III If neither suits

The reschedule expires. Late cancellations and missed lessons are forfeited.

IV From my side

Any lesson I cancel is made up or credited. Genuine emergencies we handle privately.

Introductory lessons

One free reschedule with 24 hours' notice. A late cancellation or a missed appointment forfeits the $20.

CHAPTER IV

Pick the cadence after we've played.

No plan to choose yet — start with the introductory lesson.
