Professional Guitar & Bass Instruction

Thank you for your interest in studying at the Music Place. Following is an overview of our lesson policy.

Payment
Our lesson program is divided into six 8- week sections or programs. The cost of lessons is $160.00 per program, or $80.00 per month. Payment for lessons is due the first week of the month. If you start lessons in the middle of a program, a prorated payment will be given and then payments will follow the above schedule.

Attendance
Students are expected to be at every scheduled lesson. If you cannot attend your lesson, 24-hour notification is appreciated. If you have to cancel your lesson, you can schedule a make-up lesson. Makeup lesson dates are listed on your student schedule and a sign-up sheet is located on your instructor’s bulletin board. There are 2 allowed makeup lessons per student per program.

Lesson Times
The lesson day and time that you sign up for becomes your regular lesson time. If this time becomes inconvenient, or no longer is available to you, let your instructor know and they will try to accommodate you. A list of your instructors schedule will be posted on their bulletin board with the available openings.

Materials
Lesson books and practice materials are not covered in the cost of lessons. Your instructor will advise you when it is time for new materials and the cost, and will provide them to the student. Necessary materials for all students are:
• Metronome
• Guitar Tuner
• Manuscript book(s)
• Lesson books.
• Pocket folder (for handouts)
Because of age differences and abilities, the type of lesson book for each student will vary.

Performance/Recitals/Workshops
Recitals, performances, and workshops will be held throughout the year. Students will be encouraged to participate to gain further knowledge and develop their skills. Some of the performances and workshops may require an extra fee and material costs. Sign up sheets will be posted on your instructor’s bulletin board in the waiting area.
