Flexible Schedule Lessons
Most of our students attend a lesson at the same day and time each week, and for good reason: consistency is what builds skill. For adults whose work travel makes any fixed weekly schedule difficult, and for students who want extra coaching before a specific event, we offer lesson packages that can be scheduled as your calendar allows.
​
Flexible schedule students learn with the same degreed faculty, in the same studios, on the same instruments as everyone else. Only the scheduling changes.
How it Works
Purchase a package of four lessons, then book them individually as your schedule opens up. Lessons are 30, 45, or 60 minutes, and packages are available for every instrument we teach. Single lessons may also be purchased.
​
Because flexible lessons are booked one at a time rather than held as a standing appointment, availability depends on your teacher's open times. Booking a week or two ahead gives you the most choice.
Is Flexible Schedule Lesson Right for You?
Most students who choose flexible packages fall into one of three situations. Each one shares the same challenge: real interest in learning, paired with a calendar that cannot promise the same hour every week. If any of these sound familiar, a lesson package may be the right place to begin.
Adults Students with Unpredictable Schedules
Busy adults often tell us the same thing: they have wanted to learn for years, but could never commit to the same hour every week. Flexible Schedule lessons allow you to schedule as you go and remove the obstacle entirely. Book around your travel, and pick up where you left off when you return.
Preparing for an Audition or Special Events
Working toward a school audition, a competition, a wedding, or a solo at your church? Additional coaching in the weeks beforehand can make the difference. Package lessons let you add focused preparation for your event without regular enrollment.
We have coached students through all kinds of occasions: competition and audition candidates, a surprise performance at a milestone birthday, and more than one person learning a single piece well enough to play it as a marriage proposal. Whatever the occasion, we will build the preparation around it.
Weekly Lessons or Flexible Schedule?
Weekly enrollment offers the best value and provides the strongest foundation for consistent progress. It reserves a standing lesson time with your teacher, spreads tuition across equal monthly installments, and includes recital participation as part of the full 44-session school year.
​
Flexible Schedule lessons offer greater scheduling freedom but cost more per lesson and do not reserve a regular time with your teacher. They are ideal for busy adults with unpredictable work schedule or students needing temporary coaching for event preparation.
​
If you are unsure which option is right for you, tell us about your schedule at your trial lesson. We will help you choose the option that best fits your needs.
