If you have questions or concerns, please call, text me at (208)406-3438, or write to me via email: emiflute@gmail.com. I will do my best to be prompt in my response.
Students are required to have an instrument at home to practice on. I am able to advise parents and students on what is best to buy and where to buy it, so please do not hesitate to ask for help!
Lessons will be offered in my home or at Chesbro Music Company, located in downtown Idaho Falls.
Lessons may be 30 or 45 minutes in length, depending on the age and skill level of the student.
Lessons will follow the Idaho Falls School District 91 and Bonneville Joint School District 93 calendars, allowing for no lessons during the weeks of Christmas/New Year or Spring Break. Lessons will be offered during summer months. If a lesson must to be rescheduled due to summer traveling, please reschedule each missed lesson with me at least 24 hours ahead of time or arrange to switch with another student.
Weekly Lesson Rates: 30 minute lesson at Chesbro location: $17.00/week, 45 minute lesson at Chesbro location: $24.50/week. 30 minute lesson at my residence: $15.00/week, 45 minute lesson at my residence: $22.50
Monthly tuition will include all weekly lesson charges for the month, plus the cost of any music purchased by the teacher for your student during that period (yours to keep).
When your student participates in festival, registration fees will be included in the monthly invoice prior to the festival..
Tuition is due at the beginning of the month. There will be a $10.00 dollar late fee if payment is received after the 1st lesson of the month. Late fee invoices will be delivered via email.
Discounts: If your child enrolls in lessons for both instruments, piano and flute, I will give 5% off their monthly tuition for the second instrument. If you have multiple children/family members in the studio, for each additional participating child I will offer a multi-sibling discount of 5% off their monthly tuition.
Missed/Canceled and Rescheduled Lessons: I reserve the right to charge you for any cancelled or missed lesson, including those missed due to sickness or vacation (no refunds). You are paying to reserve a time slot in the studio and therefore missed lessons will not be refunded. However, with more than 24 hours notice, lessons may be rescheduled within the same week if we can agree on a time that works for both of us. If nothing within that week can be scheduled, 1 make-up day per 3 month period per student will be granted.
Time slots may be switched with other students in the studio to allow for additional scheduling needs. Arrangements must be made between students/parents, and notification given to me at least 24 hours in advance.
If there are additional days that Mrs. Mitchell needs to take off, she will contact you at least 24 hours in advance to reschedule.
Students and parents are expected to have a high level of dedication to lessons. Students should come to lessons prepared and ready to learn. Lesson experiences will be fulfilling for both student and teacher when this expectation is met.
Please arrive on time! Late arrivals will not be given extra time. Arriving on time will help ensure we do not infringe upon others’ time and that we cover all the desired lesson material in your lesson. I would greatly appreciate your cooperation and professionalism in this area.
I expect all my students to participate in our private studio recitals and area festivals. The location of these events may vary, depending upon availability. I will always give you plenty of notice and time to prepare for each recital or festival beforehand.
Enrollment Cancellation Policy: If you find that you must discontinue your student’s enrollment with Da Capo Music Studio, please inform Mrs. Mitchell prior to the beginning of the month.
