Some jazz books and other advanced material may be in the $10.00 to $20.00 range.

CANCELLATIONS
It's important that lessons are regular, so we ask that you maintain a weekly schedule if at all possible.  However, if you must cancel, please give the instructor at least 48 hours notice, and the instructor will reschedule your lesson.  If you MUST cancel due to illness or other emergency, we can also reschedule, but we count on our clients not to abuse this policy.  If you are not available for your scheduled lesson and fail to properly notify the instructor, you will be charged for that lesson.

OBSERVING LESSONS
Parents of young students are always welcome to observe lessons, and see what their children are working on.
