Lessons

Why YOU Should Take Private Lessons:

Private, one-on-one lessons offer learning opportunities not provided in the regular public or private school classroom. Through individualized lessons, students will find growth in all areas of their instrument; knowledge, technique, and musicality. Private lessons will help you gain confidence while you learn advanced performance and practice techniques. Lessons are tailored to individual students' interest and area of need.

What will you learn?

In music lessons with Stefan, students will have the opportunity to learn how to/about:

• Sight-read

• Compose

• Transcribe

• Improvise

• Music Theory

• Music History

• Audition preparation

• Ear training

What are your needs?

Consider what you need when taking lessons. Want to learn a new instrument or skill? Maybe you have an important audition coming up? Let me know!

Scheduling

Lessons occur once a week. Once the student has chosen a day and time slot, it should remain unchanged.

*Students MUST practice what they studied/learned in lessons outside of lessons in order for lessons to be beneficial and cost-effective!

24-hour notification is requested for all missed lessons.  In the event of an emergency (if the student wakes up sick or needs to check out) notify me as soon as possible.  If you fail to give notification of absence, you will still be charged for the lesson. 

If notification is given, I will attempt to make up the lesson.  If I am unable to make up the lesson, I will issue a credit to your account.

Schedule policies will follow Roanoke County Public Schools. If the schools are closed for any reason (holidays or weather), I will not be having lessons (with the exception of summer break).
