Full Policies
Opportunities Offered
· Lessons: Lessons are a one on one experience that is considered long term. Emphasis is placed on technique and literature that will make the student a solid musician. Lessons will generally follow a similar outline/curriculum with adjustments and personalization for each student.
- Emphasis is first placed on solidification of fundamental techniques of each instrument.
+ All students: ear training, basic music theory and reading in the areas of pitch, melody, harmony, rhythm, tempo, meter, form, dynamic, timbre, and texture.
+ Strings: tone production, left hand dexterity, articulation, bowing technique, shifting, etc.
+ Voice: breathing, supporting the sound, space, placement, resonance, solfege.
- Once the basics of those skills are solid, more emphasis will be placed on more advanced qualities of musicianship such as:
+ Musicality, interpretation, phrasing, performance, and audition strategies.
+ Vocalists: pronunciation study of common languages outside of English, including, but not limited to, Italian, German, French, and Spanish.
· Coaching: coachings are short term experiences (between one and six sessions), focused on a specific piece or technique. Coachings can cover a wide range of topics, from song interpretation, to sole focus on violin shifting, to ear training, to audition preparation. They are distinguished from lessons not only in the sense that they are short term, but that there is a single, specific goal in mind.
· Group lessons: if two to five students of the same instrument and similar levels wish, group lessons can be arranged. Like individual lessons the emphasis will be placed on technique and musicianship, following a curriculum designed/modified by the instructor for the specific group.
- These policies will apply to each individual student in each group, not the group as a whole (ie: If student A’s absence is excused but student B’s isn’t, only student B will be charged for the lesson).
+ Any exceptions to this will be noted in the relevant sections.
- Groups may be formed by students (ex: friends or roommates who wish to take lessons together) or by the instructor (ex: 3 students of similar skill level from the waitlist interested in group lessons).
- Students in a group must be learning the same instrument and be close to, if not at, the same level of experience (ie: siblings cannot qualify for a group lesson if one is an violinist and the other a pianist, or if one is an advanced vocalist and the other a beginner).
· Group classes: when there is sufficient interest, group classes may be offered. Such classes are usually structured around a specific subject (ex: 8 Week Beginning Violin, Music Reading in 2 Easy Sessions). Classes are essentially the group equivalent of coachings.
- Some classes are offered through the That KJ Teaches website in a course format that can be purchased individually. The course outline and structure is generally the same, though the benefit of the class format is the live instruction.
General Policies
· The studio/teaching year is structured in trimesters. This system better allows for organization of goals, payments, and schedules across all students. Specifics of scheduling and payment related to these trimesters are described in the following sections.
- Trimester 1 – January through April
- Trimester 2 – May through August
- Trimester 3 – September through December
· Students will be given a shortened version of the below policies, tailored to their type of session.
- Any individually agreed upon amendments to the below policies will be sent to the student (or student’s guardian) via email. A returned acknowledgement will be required before said amendments will take effect.
Scheduling
· Time slots are assigned on a first come, first served basis.
- Lesson students will have the same time(s) every week until a change is necessary, either because of the student’s schedule or the instructor’s.
· The instructor reserves the right to change session availability at any time, for any reason.
- This will not be done without giving any affected students as much notice as possible. All effort will be made to accommodate students in these circumstances.
· Students who wish to stop taking lessons must provide 15 days written notice, ideally through email. Failure to do so could render any payments for subsequent lessons forfeit, at sole discretion of the instructor.
· Any schedule adjustments for summer break should be discussed as soon as possible.
- Please note, there is no guarantee that a student will receive the same time slot they had in the spring at the end of the summer. The schedule will be redone before the start of the fall.
- Please provide dates of any such summer break as soon as possible.
· If a student wishes to take a break that will last longer than two sessions, a holding fee may be assessed in order to reserve the student’s time slot. The fee will be 40% of regular session cost, per session.
· If sessions are discontinued for longer than two consecutive sessions and the student has not paid a holding fee for their slot, the student’s time slot may be filled.
- If the student wishes to return, a lack of such payment could result in the student being placed on the waitlist at the discretion of the instructor.
Initial Information Session
· No audition is required to sign up for sessions, however, all students are required to participate in an initial call, ideally through Skype or Zoom, to discuss past experience, goals, etc.
- This call is no charge and will last no longer than a half hour (typically around 15 minutes).
- Note that this session does not guarantee a permanent lesson/coaching slot. Think of it as a “get to know you” call, for both of us.
- At the conclusion of the call students may be sent some documents or asked to send recordings of requested exercises in order to assess skill levels. Specifics will be discussed on a case by case basis, although examples can be found below under “Assessment Process.”
Assessment Process
· The initial assessment of a student’s skill level begins with the initial information call. The process has many of the same elements of an audition, but should not carry the heavy weight of that word. The process is simply to help the instructor make the best plan for each student.
· Students will be sent some google forms to assess their various skills. Specifics will vary from student to student, but examples include:
- Reading assessment: basic music reading and theory skills. Not specific to any instrument.
- Instrument assessment: designed for each instrument (voice included) to determine knowledge base of instrumental parts, techniques, and terminology.
· Students may also be asked to provide recordings of certain exercises/repertoire. Again, this will vary from student to student, but examples include:
- Instrumentalists: Three scales of student’s choosing, short solo piece, sightreading example (provided by instructor).
- Vocalists: warmup sequence (accompaniment recording provided), short solo piece, sightreading example (provided by instructor).
Attendance/Cancellation
· Students are expected to prioritize their sessions, as there are limited slots available, with an active waitlist.
· Your scheduled time slot is reserved for you with your payment. Please be on time for the start of your session. Because there are multiple sessions in a day the instructor may not have time to stretch on account of tardiness.
- On the off chance that the instructor is late, the student may be given additional time at the end of that lesson, or a time for makeup may be arranged.
+ At home students should allow a buffer of 5-10 minutes on either side of the lesson time for traffic. The session will officially begin one minute after the instructor arrives at your residence. Every effort will be made for that to be exactly your scheduled time.
- In the event of tardiness on the part of the student, the session will end at the scheduled time. If the student is more than fifteen minutes late, the remainder of the lesson time may be forfeit at the discretion of the instructor.
- Online sessions will have the same tardiness policy. Unless otherwise agreed upon, it will be the student’s responsibility to call the instructor or join the meeting (depending on the application used for the session). The instructor will attempt contact five minutes after the scheduled time. If the student does not answer, the lesson may be forfeit.
+ Technological issues (internet outage, computer restart, etc.) do not automatically excuse an absence from a session. A determination will be made by the instructor on a case by case basis. Communication of any issue is greatly appreciated and will be considered a factor in any such determination.
· Notice of cancellation is required as soon as possible. Less than 24 hour notice will result in the session being charged, barring extreme circumstances (ex: student illness, inclement weather, family emergency, etc.). Whether the circumstances meet the requirements is up to the sole discretion of the instructor.
- Text message at the provided number is the best method for communication. The time stamp provides protection for all parties in the event of a dispute. Note that the instructor may not always reply due to a busy teaching/performance schedule, but messages are typically seen soon after they are received. The instructor will abide by the timestamp on the message.
- A travel fee may still be assessed if the instructor arrives at your residence, even if the absence is eventually excused (i.e.: emergency or illness without informing the instructor before leaving for your lesson).
+ Note that text messages or calls received after the instructor has left for your lesson will not suffice as they will not be checked while driving. To avoid assessment of the travel fee you must inform the instructor before they leave for your lesson.
· Please do not attend your session if you are ill and/or contagious.
- At home students should inform the instructor of any contagious illness in the household prior to the instructor’s arrival. Illness of a family member or roommate who is not the student may still result in a rescheduled session.
· If you are unable to bring your instrument to a session, or are not in good voice as a vocalist (i.e.: non contagious laryngitis), consider still attending your session. There are countless things that can still be done to improve musicianship in such sessions.
- If such sessions become a habit however (ex: three or more per trimester), a discussion will be had (see “Grounds for Dismissal”)
· Sessions are not scheduled on the following dates unless otherwise stated.
- January 24th-26th
- July 4th
- Thanksgiving week (US)
- December 20th-January 4th
- Note that the schedule will not follow any school calendars. Any holiday dates the student will take off (i.e.: Spring Break, MLK Day, etc.), should be communicated to the instructor as soon as possible.
- Students will be provided with any other dates as soon as possible. The schedule is discussed at the beginning of each trimester and month.
· In the event of the instructor’s absence (above dates, illness, emergency, etc.) the student will not be charged. Any payment for that session will roll over to the next payment period, and will be reflected on the students google sheet.
· If three sessions in a trimester are unexcused absences sessions will be discontinued. If a session is not paid for, a session will not occur. Three unpaid sessions will result in the student being taken off of the schedule. If no reasoning is given for such lack of payment, the student will be dismissed.
- If there are matters that are making payments hard or scheduling difficult please talk to the instructor. Accommodations can almost always be made for dedicated students, who communicate any issues.
Communication
· As stated above, text message at the provided number is the best method of communication in the event of tardiness or cancellation.
· Text is also best for short inquires on other matters. For longer or multiple questions, email is the best method.
· Students will be provided with a link to a read-only Google Sheet that will be used to track attendance, as well as charges and payments. More detail is described in “Fees and Payments.”
- Households with multiple students taking private lessons will use the same google sheet. Group lesson students will have individualized sheets unless otherwise arranged.
· Students will receive progress reports at the start of each new trimester.
- These reports will include progress over the previous months, as well as instructor’s outlined goals for the coming trimester.
· Please inform the instructor of any physical, emotional, or developmental challenges that may affect a student’s attendance, means of processing information, or response to circumstances. Every effort will be made to provide any accommodations that are necessary for each student to have a good experience.
· Please take note of and adhere to any deadlines assigned by the instructor (i.e.: email responses about studio opportunities, participation in events/recitals, etc.).
Fees and Payments
· Fees may vary based on the individual service. Base rates are:
- *In home sessions are a minimum of 45 minutes in order to most efficiently use the instructor’s time. 30 minute at home sessions are only available to households with more than one student taking private lessons.
- Cost of group classes varies depending on subject matter and number of sessions.
- A travel fee will also be assessed for sessions done at the student’s home.
· Exact costs will be determined following student’s initial information call.
· The length of session will be discussed and determined following the initial information call. Suggested session lengths based on level are as follows:
- 30 minutes are appropriate for beginning students through middle school age.
- 45 minutes are the minimum time for in home sessions, and are ideal for late middle school aged students and a recommended length for high school aged students.
- Hour lessons are ideal for serious high school/adult students
+ Hours may be split into two half hour sessions per week, depending on schedule availability. This is often best for vocalists who wish to do an hour.
· Weekly sessions are ideal for long term lessons and will be considered the default unless otherwise discussed.
- Two sessions per week may be possible depending on availability, but are by no means guaranteed.
- Biweekly sessions, while not ideal, may be possible at the discretion of the instructor.
· Payment is required before services are rendered.
- Students will be provided with a link to a read only google sheet that will be updated weekly to track charges, payments, and balances.
+ See below for an example of how information is entered in the sheet.
- In the case of lessons, students can choose to pay at the beginning of each month, or for a full trimester (January-April, May-August, September-December).
+ Any missed lessons that qualify under the cancellation policies (see “Attendance/Cancellation”), will not be made up, but will instead roll over to the next pay period (month or trimester).
+ Alternative payment schedules may be possible upon discussion with the instructor after three months of consistent payments.
- Coaching clients will be required to pay a deposit of half the amount of all scheduled sessions at the time of scheduling. The remainder can be paid session by session or in a lump sum, but each session must be fully paid for before taking place.
+ Example: 4 half hour sessions are scheduled at a total of $140. $70 is required at the time of scheduling. The remaining $70 can be paid in a lump sum at or after scheduling, or $17.50 can be paid before each session.
+ If more sessions are required the student can register for a second block of sessions (up to six) depending on availability. A third consecutive block of sessions will be considered a switch to the “lesson” category, and may involve being placed on a waitlist, as coaching and lessons slots are each capped at a separate availability.
+ Any payments made for sessions that are deemed unnecessary by the instructor (i.e.: completion of stated goal) may be subject for a refund. Sessions that are missed outside of the parameters of the cancellation policy (see “Attendance/Cancellation”), are not eligible for a refund.
- Group lessons generally follow the same payment polices as private lessons, with each student responsible for their own individual payment.
+ Alternative arrangements can be made at the discretion of the instructor (ex: one group member paying the instructor with others reimbursing that member).
- Group classes are generally scheduled through the That KJ Teaches website, and payment is handled at the time of the scheduling.
· Payments can be made in cash (please include a note with name and date), check, Venmo, Cashapp, or the That KJ Teaches website.
- Check payments and payment app handles are subject to change and will therefore be discussed with each student. Payments made through the website may include an additional fee for use of the payment platform.
· Additional fees may be assessed, including, but not limited to the following:
- Travel fee for in home sessions
- Materials fee (see “Materials”)
- Time slot holding fee (see “Scheduling”)
· Households with multiple students may receive a discount after two students (ex: third sibling is discounted, fourth discounted slightly again).
- This can apply to family members or roommates, but only for individual lessons. Group lessons will not receive a discount.
- Discounts will be discussed with instructor on a case by case basis.
· Educators may be eligible for a discounted rate for sessions. Some proof of educational employment will be required and discussed during the initial information session.
- Examples include music educators in need of instruction outside their area of focus (i.e.: a choir teacher who will be required to teach orchestra in their next semester), children of music educators who wish to take lessons with someone other than their guardian, or music educators simply wishing to hone their skills.
· I offer a limited number of sliding scale slots for both group and private lessons. It is important to me to provide access for students who want to study music but would otherwise not have access. For more information see “Sliding Scale.”
Refunds
· Eligibility for a refund is at the sole discretion of the instructor.
- Refunds will typically be provided by payment app (Venmo, Cashapp, etc) or by check.
· Circumstances that may be eligible for a refund are described throughout these policies in the relevant sections.
Disputes
· The student’s assigned google sheet is the source for all matters of attendance and payment. Any discrepancies should be brought to the attention of the instructor as soon as possible. In the event of a dispute all records will be reviewed to reach a resolution.
· In order to lessen the chance of any such circumstance, please follow these steps:
- Cash payments – always include a note with name and date, ideally in an envelope.
- Check payments – please include intended number of sessions in the memo line.
- Online payment (venmo, cashapp, etc.) – apps and the timing of the payments will be protection for both parties.
· See below for an example of how information is entered in the google sheets
Referrals
· Lesson students who refer others for sessions may receive a free session following their referral’s probationary period (see “Probationary Periods”).
- Coaching clients are not eligible for such referrals.
Sliding Scale
· I was fortunate enough to take lessons with an excellent violin teacher in high school. I found out later that he did not charge my family his usual rate, which helped us out immensely in the harder financial times. Because of this I offer a limited number of sliding scale slots to provide sessions to those who may find session costs to be prohibitive.
· I do not require an explanation for these slots, nor do I require financial records. I do ask that students interested in these slots fill out this form prior to their initial information session.
· These slots are not designed to be a way for students with means to save money. My fees are a carefully considered reflection of my knowledge and experience. The policy is designed to make musical opportunities available to those who would not otherwise have access.
· If a student is discovered to be abusing this policy, sessions will be suspended immediately and any payments made will be forfeit.
Student Expectations
· Students are expected to:
- Put forth consistent effort, both in and out of sessions. Practice is essential to growth as a musician.
- Keep an open mind and try new things – even if they think it is unlikely to work. A failed experiment can be the best learning opportunity.
- Be mindful of their progress. No two students will move at the same pace. A student’s progress is dependent on a multitude of factors.
- Not allow comparison to negatively affect their progress, either to another student, instructor, or performer. Each of us has our own road to take as artists. Comparison can be detrimental to that if not imbued with context.
- Communicate fully with their instructor. Never be afraid to share if you do not understand something or if a concept makes you confused or uncomfortable.
· Students are encouraged to:
- Participate in an ensemble that focuses on their instrument (ex: school music program, community/church chorus, etc.). This helps ensure well rounded musicianship.
- Explore styles and genres of art and music outside their main focus. Inspiration can be found anywhere.
· Students are not expected:
- To know everything when they walk in the door.
- To have immense levels of natural talent.
- To retain every detail of what is said in lessons. This is essentially a new language you are learning and requires repetition; both from instruction reinforcement during sessions, and your own practice outside of them.
- Understand every concept presented right away. It is the instructor’s job to explain things in a way that makes sense to you. Even then there are times when concepts will not immediately click. Do not get frustrated if something doesn’t immediately make complete sense.
Teacher Expectations
It is my job to present these concepts to you in a way that you can understand. There are times when students blame themselves for not understanding something. That is not the student’s job. It is my job to find a way to explain things to each student in a way that makes sense. If I cannot do that immediately by drawing from my extensive knowledge base born out of years of study and experience, I will work diligently to find a way to do so.
You can expect me to be honest with you about your progress and the techniques that I teach you. I promise that I always have a reason for any exercise or technique I give you or question I ask. I will always give you the reasoning if you would like, unless I have a separate reason not to (ex: telling you the purpose of some vocal exercises before doing them can make them less effective).
I will always do my best to provide you with as many resources as necessary to achieve your goals and make you the best musician you can be. My goal at the end of the day is to give you the techniques and skill so that you can work on new literature without my assistance. If you have to come to me your entire career to make any progress, then I have not done my job (though if you want to come for my advice, I will always try to be there).
Materials
· Students are required to provide their own instruments. If you do not currently have an instrument, please consult the instructor before purchasing one. There are many badly made instruments on the market, and using one of these can be extremely detrimental to a student’s progress. General suggestions are:
- String players should check out the student outfits from Shar Music (sharmusic.com). Includes instrument, bow, and case.
- Pianists and vocalists can find good keyboards by Yamaha through various retailers. A full 88 key version is highly suggested.
- Pianists will not have to provide an instrument for in studio sessions, but should have one at home for practice.
· Students should come to every session with all relevant materials. This includes a pencil (not a pen), the student’s lesson binder (see below), and any books or pieces that are currently being studied.
· Lesson and class students will need a three ring binder to organize session materials. A half inch to one inch binder is ideal. The binder will be divided into five sections (tabbed dividers preferred). This should be considered the student’s “textbook” for their sessions.
- In the case of in studio or at home students, the instructor will typically provide the binder, unless otherwise discussed. This will be covered by the materials fee (see below).
- All students will need a section for Practice, and Music Theory/Reading. The remaining three sections will depend on the student and the instrument. Unless otherwise stated by the instructor the student should use the following categories based on their instrument:
+ Violin, Viola, Cello: Scales, Technique, Literature
+ Voice: Warmups/Ear Training, Vocalises, Literature
+ Piano: Scales, Technique, Harmony
- Each student’s binder will need blank pieces of lined notebook paper and staff paper (printable from any number of websites or available at most music stores).
- All handouts and pieces given to the student will be sorted into the appropriate sections so they are available whenever needed.
- Most materials will be provided or available to purchase from the instructor, unless otherwise stated.
· Materials Fee
- A materials fee will be assessed at the beginning of sessions. It will vary from student to student based on instrument and type of session, but will include:
+ Binder and initial packet of exercises.
+ Any recommended books the instructor will provide.
- This fee will be reassessed as necessary (ex: advancement to next method book level, etc.).
- Online students will be provided with a PDF file of the initial packet, and any subsequent, instructor based exercises.
+ The fee will still be assessed to cover the work put into the assembly of the packet, but will be less than in person students due to the lack of physical binder.
- Material fees will always be reflected on each student’s google sheet.
Session Environment
· In studio sessions will take place at my office at 1800 Vine Street, Los Angeles.
- Students will be met in the lobby and brought up before each lesson, then escorted out at the end. Lesson times are scheduled very intentionally to facilitate this process. Please be on time for your session.
- Depending on the time of day, the onsite parking garage may be available, however I am unable to provide validation. Metered and free street parking is easily available nearby depending on the street and time of day.
· In home students should provide an environment away from distractions in the home. Any space where the student and instructor can focus is ideal.
- Please ensure there is seating for both you and the instructor, as well as a stand for resting any music on (ideally a music stand designed for the purpose).
- Piano students will need to provide their own keyboard or piano.
- Vocalists should ideally have a some form of keyboard or piano.
· Online students should provide themselves with a quiet space with good internet connection, away from distractions. Please do not try to have your session in a public space like a library or a coffee shop.
Open Studio Policy
· Guardians are welcome to observe lessons at any time and feel free to come and go.
- Some students may feel more comfortable with the guardian not being present during a lesson. This decision will be made on a case by case basis between the instructor, student, and student’s guardian.
- It is recommended that guardians attend at least part of a student’s lesson up to age twelve to be aware of the approaches, techniques, and literature the student is working.
+ If a guardian wishes to learn the instrument alongside the student, an arrangement can be discussed, requiring an additional fee. This will not typically be considered a group lesson, as the focus will be on the student. If the guardian wishes to take an individual lesson they will be assessed the full lesson fee, as governed by the polices in “Fees and Payments.”
· Students are encouraged to occasionally arrive early or stay late to observe another student’s lesson.
- The student will only be allowed to observe if both students are comfortable with the arrangement.
- Observing another student’s lesson, even if they do not play the same instrument, can be as much of a learning experience as one’s own lesson.
· On occasion, a college student or another teacher may sit in on a lesson to observe my teaching. This is common for college students needing practicum hours.
Probationary Periods and Grounds for Dismissal
· I have two types of probationary periods for lesson students.
· Initial probationary period: To ensure that the student and instructor are a good fit for each other, each student will be under a probationary period at the beginning of their tenure. This period will last for one month or four sessions, whichever time frame is longest.
- If, at the end of the probationary period, the instructor feels the student would be better served elsewhere, references will be given and the student will be entitled to a refund of any payments made on subsequent sessions.
· Behavior related probation: as described below students will be placed on probation after a second behavioral warning (in writing).
- The student will be considered on probation for a period of three months or twelve sessions (whichever lasts longest). A further infraction during this time will result in dismissal.
· Dismissal from lessons is at the sole discretion of the instructor. Payments made will be forfeit in the event of:
- Any act of physical, emotional, or psychological violence against the instructor, any studio staff, another student, or another student’s guardian(s).
- Intentional damage or destruction of any studio/instructor property, or the property of another student/student’s guardian(s).
· In the following circumstances the student will be given a warning, both in verbal and written form. If the behavior does not resolve within two sessions the student will receive a second warning and will be placed on probation (see “Probationary Periods”). If the behavior still continues, the student will be dismissed.
- Consistent behavior/discipline issues, including, but not limited to, talking back to instructor, refusal to follow instructions, use of inappropriate language, disparaging remarks to, or about another student, etc.
- Consistent lack of effort. Students who refuse to practice consistently are wasting their own time, as the instructor gets paid regardless. However, these student may be taking space from a student who will put in effort.
+ Consistent lack of effort is a long term problematic pattern and should not be confused with short periods when a student is unable to practice due to life circumstances (finals week at school, family matters, etc.). The motivations of the student will always be taken into consideration.
- Consistent lack of preparation and/or materials. Multiple sessions without student materials (books, handouts, binder, instrument, etc.) will result in a warning and potential probation. Coming to a session without these materials is equivalent to going to school without homework or textbooks.
+ We all forget things. In order for this issue to rise to warning level it has to be a consistent problem. Forgetting a book every now and then is understandable, forgetting the book for multiple sessions in a row is not.
- In these circumstances the student will forfeit 50% of the payments made on any subsequent lessons.
· Dismissal is not always a negative thing. There are often instances when the student and instructor may not be a good fit for each other, pedagogically. Or the student may advance to a level when another instructor may be more beneficial (in the case of piano and cello students especially).
- In these instances the instructor will do their best to provide students with references and/or referrals to other instructors.
- These circumstances will also be entitled to a refund of any payments on subsequent sessions.
Waiver
· While chances for injury or damage occurring during a session are extremely low, the student and their guardian(s) understand that any activity involves risk and that accidents can happen.
- At home students and their guardians agree that they will not hold That KJ Teaches, its owner, or any instructors or staff liable should any damage or injury occur during a session.
- In studio students and their guardians recognize that the instructor is not responsible for providing care for students before or after their session. Students are not to be left at the studio longer than ten minutes before or after their scheduled session.
- All students assume risk of injury/harm associated in session actions, and agree they will not hold That KJ Teaches, its owner, or any instructors or staff responsible in the extremely unlikely event of injury during a session’s activities.
Behind the Scenes
· People sometimes wonder about the costs of fees, because they do not see the work that goes on between sessions. Such work includes, but is certainly not limited to:
- Weekly planning sessions to track goals and progress and individualize instruction for each student.
- Research, development, and distribution of repertoire for each student.
- Research into techniques to help students with new challenges.
- Maintenance and upkeep of studio teaching instruments.
- Continuing instructor education through various conferences, workshops, books, masterclasses, etc.
- Composition and arrangement of exercises and literature to fit each students’ needs.
- Coordination of schedules between in studio, in home, and online students.
- Hardware and software such as computers, recording equipment, zoom, Sibelius/staffpad composition programs, etc.
- Rental and coordination of studio, rehearsal, and recital spaces.
- Various fees associated with payment methods
- Learning/researching repertoire students request from outside sources.
- Previous degrees, certificates, and training to supplement instructors own teaching and performance experience.
