Lessons take place either:
1. In-Person at my home studio in San Clemente, CA.
2. Online using Zoom (see www.currentvistaproductions.com/education for more information)
3. In-person lessons at the student's home are potentially available for an additional rate. Please contact me if you are interested and we can discuss options.

I offer one free trial lesson (online or in-person) that lasts between 15-30 minutes. No make-up lesson will be offered if the student cannot attend once it is scheduled.

This lesson is a chance to meet the student, hear their musical goals, and give an idea of what our lessons will look like.

Current monthly tuition rates for 3 LESSONS PER MONTH are as follows:

Hiring a private music teacher means committing to a weekly day/time for lessons.

My policy is to schedule lessons at the beginning of the month or school year. We will discuss lesson days, times, and length. Once a day/time is selected, students are committed to that weekly lesson slot. If a student cannot make a lesson day/time the day of the lesson, they forfeit that lesson. No make-up lesson will be given.

Considerable time is spent scheduling and planning for lessons each week, therefore, students are expected to attend all scheduled lessons.

If a student cannot make a lesson, they are expected to notify me via text, email, or in-person at least 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE. Extreme medical emergencies, including COVID-19 and others are an exception. If such notice is not given, you will forfeit the cost of the lesson with no make-up lesson given.

An online lesson will be offered if a student cannot make a lesson in-person for ANY reason (illness, traffic, etc.). If the student chooses to not use the online lesson format, they forfeit the lesson and no make-up lesson will be offered.

If a student does not attend a lesson, shows up late, or has to leave early, they will forfeit the lesson or remaining instructional minutes.

If I (Stephen Coss) cannot make our scheduled lesson, I will share out multiple days/times for a make-up lesson to choose from or offer additional minutes during other lesson days.

REFUNDS WILL NOT BE GIVEN FOR LATE CANCELLED OR NO-SHOW LESSONS

• Students are to be fully prepared for each lesson. This means they are to arrive to our weekly lesson having practiced their assigned material.
• Parents are to help students establish a consistent practice time. Frequency and duration of practice depends on student age and level. The important part is to keep it CONSISTENT (choose a schedule that the student can keep). I recommend 15 minutes a day for 3-5 days a week.
• Parents are expected to purchase any necessary books or materials needed for lessons.

• I will do my part to help students learn according to their unique goals and needs.
• I will arrive to our lessons on time (in-person or online) and be focused throughout the lesson.
• I will keep a log of assigned materials and provide students a practice schedule (digitally or printed). This log will have their weekly assignments and any other resources needed for them to be successful.
• I will provide tutorial videos and/or recordings of parts of our lessons (as needed) to help students review what we covered during the lesson.
