Fee Schedule :

I teach out of my home studio in Carmel Valley (near I-5 & Carmel Mountain Road Exit). The schedule out of my home is very flexible (could be mornings, afternoons, or evenings) weekday or weekend. Every Monday, and Thursday, I teach out of the Rhythm House Music store at 652 Stevens Ave., Solana Beach, CA 92075. I also provide some lessons at the student home.

My cancellation/booking policy :

Students may schedule a lesson every week, every other week, or even less frequently. Whatever your schedule, I generally recommend hour long lessons as I feel the you'll acquire a better and faster depth of understanding this way. Payment is due at the end of each lesson - no need to pay in advance. No cancellation fee per se, just ask for as much notice as possible if you can't meet.

Which methods of payment are accepted?
