COVID-Related
- Masks are currently not required for Boulder or Larimer counties. We can still both wear masks during your lesson if you prefer.
- Due to social distancing restrictions, only the teacher and student are allowed in the lesson room. People waiting on students will need to return when the lesson is done.
- I am fully vaccinated and boosted, check my temperature daily, and do a weekly rapid COVID test. If I have a fever, feel sick, or am exposed to COVID, I will move lessons online or reschedule.
- If you or a member of your household are sick, running a fever, or have potentially been exposed to COVID please let me know and we will do your lesson online or reschedule.
Scheduling
- Lessons are available at my studios or via video chat.
- I normally teach one-on-one. If you would like to book lessons for a group, please email me.
- I book in multiples of 30 minutes. I do not currently offer 45 minute lessons.
- Weekly lessons spots are always the same day and time. There are a few weeks off each year, you can check the calendar for the current schedule.
- Single lessons are booked for a specific date and time. Please be sure you will be available for the lesson before booking.
- I am in US Mountain time and Colorado observes Daylight Savings Time. We vary between UTC-7:00 and UTC-6:00 depending on the time of year. Double check with me on times if you’re booking from another time zone.
Attendance
- Please be on time.

- For online lessons, I will call at your lesson time. If you miss my call, feel free to call me back during the lesson time.
- Please let me know as soon as possible if you are going to miss a lesson. I can record a video lesson or we may be able to do a lesson via video chat instead.
- Please do not skip lessons because you haven’t practiced. We can always review and it’s a great opportunity to work on practice strategies.
- There are no refunds or reschedules for lessons that are missed without notice.
Weather

Illness and Injury
- Pain while playing an instrument is bad. If you experience pain while playing, stop and see a doctor as soon as possible.
- If you need to cancel due to illness or injury, please contact me as soon as you can so we can switch to a recorded or a video chat lesson instead.
- Please do not risk your and your fellow students’ health by coming to the studio while you are ill. If I believe you contagious or are too sick to play, I will send you home immediately.
- If I am sick, we will switch to either video chat or a recorded lesson.
