Lesson Information & Policies

Private lessons available on French Horn,  Alphorn or Tenor Horn.

Makeup Lesson Policy:

I do not offer makeup lessons.  If you are unable to attend a scheduled lesson, you may choose one of the following options:

1-  Cancel or reschedule with 1 week's notice

2-  Attend Virtually (Zoom, FaceTime, FB Messenger Video, etc)

3-  Switch lesson times with another student. You may either switch for another day, or ask a student before or after you to take an hour lesson one week and you the next.

4-  Recorded lesson:  I will send you videos of your lesson content to "attend" at your convenience.  Some video content may be pre-recorded.

Expectations:

Students are expected to come to each lesson on time.  Other expectations include adequate preparation (30-minute personal practice per day recommended), bringing all applicable materials to each lesson, and  curriculum advancement.

In Lesson:

I do not have a policy regarding guest attendance during a lesson. I encourage students and parents to decide whether a parents’ presence during a lesson would be productive or not. This will depend largely on the student’s personality.

Although I hold a strict policy against answering my own phone during lesson times, I do answer my cell phone in between lessons. Because it is your lesson time, you may use your phone during your lesson if you choose.

Materials:

Students are expected to provide their own instrument, cleaning supplies, and music.   I do have single F horns ($30/mo) , double horns ($50/mo) and alphorns ($50/mo) available for rent to currently enrolled students.

Specific required texts and materials can be viewed on the curriculum.
