- Lessons are given in my private studio at Trade Up Music at 4701 SE Division in Portland.
- Lessons are generally once a week, on same day and time each week.
- Bi-weekly or alternate-week lessons may be available, as my schedule allows.
- One time or "occasional" lessons are also possible (not recommended for beginners).
- Family discounts are available for families with more than one child (or adult) taking lessons (see tables above).
- I accept cash or checks, and prefer pre-payment (but am happy to work out other arrangements).
POLICIES:
~ Payment is due at the time of your lesson. Lessons may be paid for at each lesson, or as a group of lessons ahead of time (for example a month of lessons pre-paid). Discounts are offered for pre-payment (see tables above). I prefer advance payment. I accept cash or checks made out to “Abby Grush”.
~ If you need to cancel a lesson, please give me at LEAST 24 hour notice. You will not be charged for cancelled lessons with advance notice. If you have prepaid for a group of lessons, your payment will carry-over to the next lesson.
~ “No shows” or last minute cancellations will still be charged for the missed lesson. Sometimes a make-up lesson is possible, but not always (my schedule tends to get very full). I will try my best to reschedule you. If I miss a lesson (due to illness or other emergency) you will not be charged for that lesson.
~ Please realize that this is how I make my living. Students who are frequent "no-shows" without payment will lose their spot.
