Studio Policy

Required at each lesson:

• Your instrument, mouthpiece, and supplies (oil, grease, mutes, snake, etc.) for horn lesson

• Method book/sheet music

• A teachable spirit and willingness to learn

• A recording device (your cell phone will do!)

Expectations:

• Lessons are given on a weekly basis and payment will be collected on a per month basis at the first lesson of each month. Mrs. Riggs will send you a Venmo/PayPal/Zelle payment request at the start of every month.

• When you sign up for lessons, you reserve your weekly lesson time whether or not you attend the lesson.

• Rescheduling: If you need to reschedule your lesson on a particular week, please reschedule with Mrs. Riggs no later than one week prior.

• Cancellations: If a student is ill or needs to miss a lesson (fever, vomiting, contagious) notice must be given at least 24 hours before the lesson. A make-up lesson will be offered.

• If a student cancels his/her lesson on the day of the lesson, the lesson will not be made up or credited.

• If a student arrives at his/her lesson ill or without their instrument, the student will be sent home and the lesson will not be made up or credited.

• If a student forgets to come to his/her lesson, the lesson will not be made up or credited.

• Should a student feel that his/her chops are “not working” that day, and he/she is not contagious, he/she should still attend the lesson. Lessons will help you play even on the “bad days.”

• Student agrees to purchase any music required for lessons and agreed upon by Mrs. Riggs. Every attempt is made to keep this cost at a minimum.

• Students are encouraged to bring all music to lessons which is being practiced or performed in public. This includes musicals, solos, outside performances, or any gig.
