Welcome To My Studio! Here’s How Lessons Work
Start Date & Calendar
Lessons begin the third week of August—this year, that’s the week of August 18. Starting in August ensures that students are ready for fall performances, competitions, and school-year musical opportunities.
What Your Tuition Includes
Your fees cover more than just weekly lessons—they support a rich and well-rounded musical education designed to
help students grow as artists and performers. Tuition includes:
• All sheet music – curated and provided for each student to support their progress and artistry.
• MTAC (Music Teachers’ Association of California) recitals – 5 times per year – performance experience
in professional settings builds confidence, poise, and musical maturity.
• Studio recitals – held in December and June – supportive, celebratory events where students showcase
their growth for family and friends.
• NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing) competition – for vocalists only (March) – a
prestigious opportunity for vocal students to perform for and receive feedback from experienced professionals.
• MTAC Piano Competition – for qualifying students, a chance to participate in a respected adjudicated
event and gain valuable experience.
• Outside coaching sessions as needed – students preparing for auditions, competitions, or major
performances may receive extra support from outside professionals, included in tuition.
Please note: Certificate of Merit fees are not included and must be paid directly to MTAC’s website.
These opportunities are designed to help students develop not just as musicians, but as confident, well-prepared
performers who enjoy sharing their talents with others.

Health & Safety
If your child is sick, please do not come to the studio—we can always switch to an online lesson to keep everyone safe.
If your child has mild symptoms but feels well enough, please administer a COVID test before the lesson and have
them wear a mask during their time in the studio. Protecting our health means we can all continue making music together.
Missed Lessons
I don’t offer makeup lessons, but if you have a conflict in a given week, feel free to reach out—I’ll do my best to
reschedule within the same week if possible. Flexibility helps ensure that students stay on track even when life gets busy.
