Tuition

How to get started

New students begin with a short application, so I can understand your goals before we start:

  1. Apply. Fill out the Apply for a Lesson form with a bit about yourself and what you'd like to achieve.

  2. Connect. After reviewing your message, I'll follow up — and when it's a good fit, send you a private link to purchase a package and access the scheduling portal.

  3. Schedule. Book your own lessons through the studio calendar, at times that work for you.

Scheduling & Cancellations

Once you're enrolled and have portal access, scheduling is entirely self-service:

  1. Log in to the studio calendar to see all open slots.

  2. Choose a time and book your lesson.

  3. Receive an email confirmation.

  4. Get an automatic reminder 48 hours before your lesson.

Rescheduling and cancellations are handled on the same calendar, up to 24 hours before the lesson time. Full details on the Policies page.

Student Recital

Enrolled students are invited to perform at studio recitals — a warm, supportive setting to share your music, build confidence, and mark your progress.
