Trial Period

• • Summertime is a great time to explore what Arneson Music Studio has to offer and see if it is the right fit for you.  You can arrange lessons on a week-by-week basis in the summer months of June, July, and August.  September through May follow a specific schedule.

  • We always allow new students to come visit us to explore what we have to offer, if you feel we are the right fit for your family, and have a free trial mini-lesson or consultation prior to the official start to music lessons.  It is very important to us that you choose a teacher that best fits your needs and personality.  We want to help you determine what is best for your student.  If the Arneson Music Studio is your best teacher match, we will do everything we can to make it work out for you - just be honest and keep the communication lines open.

Lesson Exchange Program

• • • • I offer in certain circumstances a lesson exchange program which allows for students to have lessons at a discounted rate.  The exact amount of the discount will be based on the amount and type of service provided or exchanged.  By offering this opportunity, I hope that those who would not normally be able to afford private music lessons would be able to do so.
