RECITALS

A recital will be scheduled early in the second semester. COVID-19 restrictions permitting the recital will be in-person. All students are expected to participate. The date will be announced approximately two months in advance.

MAKE-UP LESSONS

Make-up lessons are to be used for unavoidable conflicts or illness. Forgotten lessons will not be made up. If you would like the option of a make-up lesson you must call, email, or text with a minimum of two hour's notice.

You may also swap lesson times with another student provided I am given 24 hours notice.

If two students show up at the same time, the student whose name is on the master schedule is given the lesson.
