Lesson Policies Effective March 1st, 2024

The national state of emergency has been lifted since COVID-19 and The Global Flute Studio has returned to normal policies and operations.

I teach weekly in-person lessons in the students' homes for local students.  

In order to be eligible for a weekly in-person lesson, The student must live in New Jersey, less than a 30-minute drive from my location in Montclair, NJ.

Long distance students can have all of their weekly lessons online.
Online lessons can be held over Skype, Zoom, Messenger, WhatsApp, or Discord (Skype is preferred).

Rates:

  • One-hour lessons (for students ages 14 and up) are $70.
  • 45-minute lessons (for students ages 10-13) are $55
  • 30-minute lessons (for students under age 10) are $45

Suzuki recorder and Kinderflute pre-schoolers can take a 15-minute weekly lesson until they are ready for a 30-minute lesson, but $45 is a minimum lesson price.

Scheduling: 

  • Lessons for children, teens, and college students are once a week, every week.  Each student is assigned a regular weekly lesson time.  
  • If you are unable to come to your lesson at your weekly time, the lesson will be skipped, not rescheduled.  If sufficient advanced notice was given, that lesson's payment will be rolled over to the next month. If insufficient notice was given, the lesson fee is forfeited.
  • Please cancel the moment you are aware of any symptoms of any contagious illness in your household. You will not be penalized and you will not lose the lesson payment, even for last-minute notification.
  • Professional musicians may schedule lessons a la carte, by appointment, based on availability.  

Billing:

Lessons must be paid for monthly, in advance.  The schedule for a new month will be determined at the last lesson of the previous month.  Adult professionals taking a la carte lessons by appointment must pay prior to the start of the lesson.

Contact-Free Pay: 

Electronic payment is preferred; I accept PayPal, Venmo, and CashApp.  

Cancellation:  

Cancellation must be done with at least 24-hours’ notice.  Cancellation with less than 24-hours notice will result in the loss of the lesson fee, except in the case of symptoms of illness in the student or the student's household.  

Frequent cancellation may result in dismissal from the The Global Flute Studio.
