Billing Policies
-
Weekly lessons are billed the first of the month. Weeks of instruction concur with most school calendars with regular holiday breaks observed.
-
For any absences (illness, vacation, etc.), you may schedule a make-up lesson. Multiple times are available every week for makeups, including some Saturdays.
-
There are no refunds for parent cancellation of lessons: If a conflict exists on a week Miss Becky teaches, then a makeup credit will be issued and multiple options will be available to scheudle a make-up time before the end of the year.
-
If Miss Becky has to cancel a lesson, a credit will be applied to your account or the lesson can be rescheduled.

An acoustinc piano has a touch, feel, and sound that even the most expensive electronic keyboards cannot reproduce. In my experience, students learn faster and stay in lessons longer with an acoustic piano. Parents often think "let's start on a keyboard, and see if my child likes lessons first, and then I will get a piano." However, this approach often backfires because most electronic keyboards do not have enough resistance to strengthen a beginning student's fingers and this negatively impacts technique. Students then become frustrated, especially as the music becomes more challenging, because their fingers do not have the strength they need to play effectively and expressively. Most importantly though, playing a piano is a beautiful sensory experience of sound and touch that once experienced inspires the child to return to it again and again.
Don't let cost or size be a determining factor. Often, used pianos can be found for free or low cost on Offerup and Facebook Marketplace. And, the footprint of a real piano is only slightly larger than a full size keyboard. Also, a real piano is a piece of furniture and is more attractive than a keyboard, especially if placed in a living area. Feel free to reach out to chat more about finding a used or new piano. ​

Stores I recommend for used and new pianos: Linton Milano Pianos, Next Gen Piano and Southwest Pianos.

Do Online Lessons Really Work?
YES, THEY DO!
​
​
During our lesson, I have camera views of my hands on the keys, my face and the lesson book.
​
Additionally, the video tutorials support the student throughout the week as they see and hear the music they have just learned.
​
I have started many students, including young beginners, with online lessons and they have been very successful!
