Fee Schedule,  2nd quarter 2009

Please note:  there is no smoking indoors.

Private Lessons

Rate:  $15 per half hour private lesson. 

Timeliness:  I schedule lessons on 45 minute intervals, which might seem weird.  This is to give me the flexibility to run over with your lesson and allow some leeway so you get a full 30 minute lesson.  Please arrive a few minutes early so my work flow can be fairly distributed among all my students.

Payment:  payments for each month's lessons are due at first lesson of the month.  We can schedule your payment day for a different lesson if this is more comfortable for your budget.  Please don't be embarassed to ask; you're talking to a musician...  :-)  Also, if you can try to keep your account current it will be greatly appreciated!

Cancellation:   If you have to cancel your lesson for illness or weather, I will schedule a makeup lesson for you.  Please provide prior notice if at all possible.  The makeup lesson must be used within 30 days from the original date.  

Please do not ask me to reschedule or makeup your lesson for other activities' events.  I have a limited number of hours to teach and many students. 

If I cancel your lesson, I will give you a credit lesson in the next pay period.

Lesson cancellations should be rare.   If I feel that you are missing lessons due to lack of interest and commitment, then we will talk about it.  Private music lessons are a privilege that you should enjoy and take advantage of, as learning music will benefit your life.

Parking:  You are welcome to park on the LEFT side of our driveway during your lesson.  There is plenty of parking on the city street, also, although this can be dodgey following heavy snow.

Quarterly review:  At the end of each quarter we will evaluate your progress towards your goals to make sure that I am providing you with the instruction you need and make adjustments as necessary.  I want you to succeed! 

Piano Tuning

Rate:   $65.00 for one tuning session.  This includes a single pitch raise if necessary.  If I have to return, it will be charged as a new tuning. 

This rate is temporary and I will be raising it to the normal rate upon becoming a RPT in the Piano Technicians Guild.

Recording Studio Fees

Please note:  there is no smoking indoors.

Setup engineering:   $15 per hour (may be waived at my discretion).

Recording time:   $30 per hour

Mixdown:  $20 per hour

Arranging/composing/performing:  $30 per hour.  This is a separate additional fee from recording time.

Studio rental:   not available at this time.

If you are a composer or artist just trying to get started, or a classical musician into chamber music, a college student, or someone into experimental music, I will probably encourage you to record at Euphonic Studio by offering you a rate that you can't refuse. 

Please feel free to discuss recording fees.  I'm inclined to encourage your creative spirit.
