LESSON POLICIES:
All lessons must be paid in advance. I accept payment from several different money transfer apps, personal checks, money orders, or cash (which must be handled in-person).
Rescheduling an online lesson is allowed up to one hour before the lesson start time. Request must be in an email or text message. If the notice is less than one hour from the start of the lesson the time is considered booked, delivered, and must be paid in full.
If a student becomes physically unable to complete the lessons in any multi-pack purchase due to medical issues and/or extenuating circumstances a refund of any undelivered lessons can be requested.
Single lessons cannot be cancelled after payment is received. You can reschedule the single lesson that was purchased but there are no refunds or returns.
As the teacher, I reserve the right to reschedule or cancel any lesson(s) at any time at my personal discretion.

what you need to get started
For Google Meet, ZOOM, or GoTo sessions:
Any computer (including most Chromebooks) with a camera and a mic that is less than five years old and Internet service with 250MB average download speed should work fine.
Almost any 5G/WiFi enabled tablet or smart phone less than three years old
...and I suggest using headphones or earbuds for the best audio experience.
Sonobus, Jamulus, JamKazam sessions require at least 500MB average download speed and a connected device located within 400 miles radius of the Boston area
family discount = 5% off total purchase
If you have two or more household members (this includes parents!) taking lessons concurrently you will get an additional 5% off your total bill after applying any of these multi-pack discounts. A half hour lesson on one of the scholastic plan options with a family discount would be $38.
