VIENNA STUDIO

SUITE 304 – PRELUDE MUSIC

VIENNA, VA 22182

ALL LESSONS will last approximately 30 minutes. However, I do reserve the right to lengthen or shorten lessons according to preparation, or material to be covered. Please let me know if a student must leave on time, since I often keep them past the half hour.

THE CHARGE PER half hour LESSON is $45.00. You may pay me at the beginning of the month for the lessons or pay me each week. Any lesson payment that is more than two weeks late, will be assessed at $50.00 per half hour lesson.

TO CANCEL any lesson, you must call me at 703-869-8588 or email me at det3355@aol.com. Cancellations must be before 8:00 P.M. on the Friday prior to the following week’s Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday lessons or you will be charged for that lesson.

SUMMER SCHEDULING.   I teach throughout the summer.  If you are going to miss one week, I will keep you in the same time slot.  If you plan on being gone for more than one week, please let me know when you plan to return and you must contact me for a new time.

NO MATTER WHAT THE SCHOOL, HOLIDAY OR INCLEMENT WEATHER SCHEDULE happens to be for any given day, I will conduct regularly scheduled lessons. If I cancel, or change the lesson time, it will be clearly marked in the student’s notebook the week before, or you will be notified by telephone or email.  I will also follow Fairfax County Public School’s inclement weather closings.  If FCPS are closed for weather related situations, I will not conduct lessons for that day.

CONTACT INFORMATION- Please be sure I have CONTACT INFORMATION (I.E. PHONE/EMAIL) to contact you. If you have any questions, or simply want to discuss your students’ progress, please call at any time, or feel free to sit in at a lesson.

The above policy is given to each new student when we begin trumpet lessons. I have many good reasons for this policy. The most significant of these being that my rate of cancellations was reduced once implemented, thereby assuring that students attended more lessons which improved their playing! When I do receive a cancellation, it gives me the opportunity to teach one of several students who study with me on a stand-by basis. Thank you for your patronage and I look forward to many years of making great music with you!!
