Studio details
A few practical notes.
Payment is arranged after the lesson time is confirmed. At least 24 hours’ notice is requested for cancellation or rescheduling.
Students under 18 must have a parent or guardian make the inquiry and participate in scheduling. Virtual instruction complements—rather than reproduces—the experience of working with a live ensemble.
