Instructor’s Statement of Commitment
Students will have my attention, knowledge, guidance, and experience at their disposal during their music lessons. I am committed to providing the student’s regular scheduled lesson every week for up to 48 out of 52 weeks per year. Music is a lifelong interest and passion. I always take a long-term approach to guidance, and I will always do my best to take a student as far as they wish to go with their playing.
