Studio Policy
Trial Lesson
Brent offers a free half-hour trial lesson. This is a great opportunity for you or your child to meet Brent, experience a lesson, and decide if it's the right fit before committing to a weekly schedule.
Books & Teaching Materials
For the trial lesson, Brent will provide any necessary books and teaching materials. If you decide to continue lessons, Brent will recommend specific books for purchase to support your ongoing learning.
Practice Expectations
Consistent practice is essential for progress, regardless of age or skill level. The frequency and length of practice sessions may vary based on the student’s needs. In general, short and frequent practice sessions are more effective than occasional long ones. Brent will help determine the ideal practice routine for you or your child, ensuring steady progress and enjoyment.

Payment Policies
Trial Lesson: Free!
Ongoing Lessons: If you continue after the free trial lesson, payment for each month is due at the start of the month. At the beginning of each month, Brent will help set a schedule so you can plan the number of lessons for that month.
Payments can be made via Venmo (preferred), cash, check, PayPal, or Zelle.
Lesson Cancellation & Rescheduling
If you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson, please notify Brent as early as possible.
24-Hour Cancellation Policy: If you cancel or reschedule with less than 24 hours' notice, you will be charged the full lesson fee.

Student Performance Opportunities
Brent hosts student concerts once a year—typically in the winter. These concerts are optional and open to students of all ages and skill levels. Performing is a great way for students to build confidence and celebrate their progress.
