**Episodic lessons require a 24-hour cancellation notice and are non-refundable if cancelled in less than 24 hours.
***I offer 45- and 60-min lessons for adults. 30-mins doesn't offer the requisite time to get into a musical mindset and keep continuity between lessons. 30-mins are great for youngsters.
