PAYMENT :  Payment remains a prorated tuition of fees  PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ON THE FIRST LESSON OF EACH MONTH.  Otherwise, please MAIL PAYMENT to the above address BY THE TENTH OF THE MONTH.  If I cancel a lesson then a CREDIT will be forwarded to the following month or rescheduled as a Saturday make-up lesson.   VACATIONS: if you will miss more than one week, special arrangements need to be made in order to keep your regular time slot.  If you need to RESCHEDULE a lesson, please call or email and leave a message and I contact you for a make-up time.  If you need to cancel on the same-day as your lesson due to an emergency, please call my cell phone.  PLEASE REMEMBER TO INCLUDE EXTRA IF YOU HAVE A FIFTH WEEK LESSON or BAND FOR THE MONTH !

MAKE-UP TIMES: I have Saturday times available for missed lessons. It is important for you to schedule a make-up time as it is essential that I receive a monthly tuition for all of my teaching time slots, whether a student can attend all the lessons or not....so there will be no deduction in tuition for missed lessons.  If a student misses two lessons without prior arrangements, that time slot could be lost. On some holidays (other than July 4th, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Day), I am available to teach. (Please check with me in advance if your lesson time falls on a holiday.)

PHONE CALLS: If you need to talk with me, call in the morning as I teach afternoons & have recording sessions in the evenings.  Please leave a message on the service or email me. I will get back to you ASAP.

LESSON PROCEDURES: Please be on time to your lesson.  If you are late, I will go over your scheduled time slot if no one is waiting.  If another student is waiting, your lesson will need to be cut short.  If I am late getting started for any reason, or get an interruption during the lesson, I will be sure to make up the time lost.  Please bring your notebook, lesson books or other equipment assigned as necessary to make the best use of lesson time.   Daily practice is important to your progress, therefore please schedule whatever practice time is necessary to accomplish your weekly assignment.  

PERFORMANCES/RECITALS: I usually plan several performances a year to facilitate experience in performing before an audience which takes the place of a weekly band session. It is considered “band time against tuition.” You will be given notice and instructions by separate announcement and on the Website. Travel arrangements and performance clothing are each student’s responsibility.

Music Tips

Vocal Tip

Children under 12 who learn voice have a tendency to raise their chin and yell their music. Amateaur music teachers in elementary schhols and church groups tend to tell the kids to sing louder. The focus should be on keping your chin down, open your mouth wide and use plenty of air, but don't yell. And of course, come to the 7 a.m. Saturday vocal class and get one of Dan's Notable Youth singing books.
