MISSED LESSONS

We try hard to accommodate folks’ busy schedules and will do our best to re-schedule if a lesson has to be missed. However, students who give less than 24 hours notice of cancellation may still be charged for that lesson.

RECITALS

We usually create one recital opportunity during the course of the year. Since this is traditional music,  our recitals are very informal, low pressure affairs, where having fun is always more important than flawless execution!

PARKING

Parking is available in front of the little white church. Please come in through the door to the side of the old church. GPS may not work accurately. Use the address from Pleasant Green Road on the church sign.
