How Much Are Lessons?

I offer Weekly, Flex and Single lessons at Maple Street Guitars in Atlanta, GA.

——————

WEEKLY: Reserved for the same day/time each week.

  • 30 minute lessons: $40 each: = $160

  • 60 minute lessons: $80 each = $320

Payment Policy: Payment is due before your first lesson. Your monthly rate is based on four lessons each month, from September through May. You are eligible for one make-up lesson each month, schedule permitting. Please refer to my cancellation policy for more details.

5th Week Policy: In months where a lesson falls on a 5th week, there will be no lesson, giving you an extra week for practice!

Summer Lessons: During June, July, and August, students have the option to continue with weekly lessons or switch to single-lesson bookings. It can be challenging to commit to weekly lessons over the summer, so I offer single lesson booking for your convenience. Payment in advance reserves your lesson day and time.

If you would like to reserve your lesson day and time for the Fall, you may pay for two lessons per month. This allows you to save your spot and provides me with an income so I’ll be here for the start of the school year! These lessons and your preferred time slot can also be transferred to someone else until you return.

Payment is due on or before the 4th lesson: To secure your scheduled day and time for the next block of weekly lessons, payment must be made on or before the fourth lesson in that block. If payment is not received by then, you might lose your reserved spot.

This helps ensure commitment and keeps the schedule organized for both the instructor and students.

——————

VIP/FLEX: Popular with working professionals and those with busy schedules, this option doesn't require a reserved time and day each week. Instead, you can choose the date and time that works best for you and your schedule, subject to availability.

  • 30 minute lessons: $50 each: = $200

  • 60 minute lessons: $100 each = $400

Cancellation policy

A 24-hour notice of cancellation is required. If you cancel the lesson with less than 24 hours' notice, you will forfeit that lesson. You’re eligible for one make-up lesson per month with 24-hour notice. The make-up lesson must be scheduled within 90 days of the missed lesson. Schedule permitting, this can be handled by extending the length of a lesson or by coming on a different day

In the event that I need to cancel a lesson, it will be rescheduled. I will generally inform you well in advance, but in the case of illness or emergency, I will notify you as soon as possible.

What instruments do you teach?
