July Studio News

Mark your Calendar!
I will not be teaching the following days: 
Wed., July 4th 
Mon.-Sat., July 9th-14th
Fri.-Tues., July 20th-July 24th


Reminder of Summer Policies
During the summer (June- Aug.) I offer a more flexible schedule to allow for personal time off and teacher training. Lessons are $15/30min lesson. Payment is due the beginning of each month for 'scheduled' lessons. If you will only be to 3 lessons during the month you only need to pay for 3 lessons. If you need to reschedule or cancel your scheduled lesson please let me know at least a day before.

If there are no available times to reschedule and I know at least a day before, I will transfer payment to the next month. 

Lessons cancelled the day of lessons or a 'no show' will still be charged. 

Check the Studio Calendar often for updates and openings. Feel free to email or text me with changes.
