Hello Strings Families!

I am excited to being lessons again next week. Lessons for the fall semester begin September 11, 2024. If you don't know your lesson time yet, please be sure to log into the portal to see your next lesson. Here are the updated policies and pricing for this school year.


Lessons will be offered both online and in person. Lesson prices for the 2023/2024 school year will be:

30 minute lesson: $30
60 minute lesson: $60
 
Payment for each student is due at the first lesson of the month. An invoice will be emailed at the end of each month one week prior to the due date. Acceptable payment forms are check, cash, Apple Pay, Paypal and Venmo.


Sick policies:


Due to our family circumstances and because lessons are offered in our home,  we ask students please follow the following sick policies.



Sick Policies:

  1.  Students who are sick or have been exposed to seasonal illnesses like a cold, flu, covid, etc should opt for online lessons.
  2. If your student or anyone in their immediate family has been exposed to covid or the flu in the last 5-7 days or has any symptoms of being sick please opt for an online lesson.
  3. If a student arrives for a lesson appearing sick they will be asked to leave and you WILL be charged for your lesson.
  4. If a student is unwell and would like to cancel lessons those cancellations are excused and families will not be charged for missed lessons due to illness.

Please encourage your student to use their portal to record practice times. The more information I have about their practice habits the better I'm able to help them achieve their goals.  




Thank you!

Summer Lessons 2023

Sunday, May 21, 2023 by Kim Finnigan | Uncategorized



Here are some updated instructions on how to attend lessons this summer and some answers to some frequently asked questions.  


  1. Summer lessons are optional, but open to any of my students who would like to have a lesson.
  2. These lessons will be pay as you go.  If you have a positive balance on your account that balance will be used for summer lessons until you use it all. At that point you will be expected to pay per lesson. You are welcome to pay for more than one lesson at a time if that is your preference.
  3. If you sign up for a lesson and cancel before 24 hours you will not be billed for that lesson.  However, if you don't show up or cancel your lesson less than 24 hours before your lesson you will be billed for that lesson.
  4. You will not be getting any invoices over the summer.  Invoices are sent automatically, and will not be sent unless you have a negative balance.
  5. To log in and check the calendar please use this link here: https://finniganstrings. mymusicstaff.com/ The calendar will be updated over the summer on a weekly basis.
  6. Each weekend I will put my availability in the calendar for students to sign up for. If there is a time that doesn't work for you and you would like to have a lesson please email me, and I will do my best to work something out with you.
  7. There are a few lessons already posted in the first full week of June. You can experiment with those if you'd like. 


And finally, there will be no lessons on Monday, May 29 for Memorial Day, and the last scheduled lesson of the spring semester will be May 31st.


Please let me know if you have any other questions!


Thanks!

Kim
