Where are lessons located?
Lessons take place in our home located in 1814 Dodge Dr NW Warren, OH 44485. In addition, we offer lessons via Google Meet or FaceTime.
What days/times are lessons available?
Lessons are available Monday-Thursday, from 3-8pm and Friday from 3-6:30pm.
What is the lesson cancellation policy?
Our lesson cancellation policy allows each student to cancel one lesson per month without being charged. If a student cancels lessons more than once per month (regardless of the circumstances or the amount of notice), they will be charged for the canceled lessons. However, you will not be charged if we (Jeff and/or Adreanne) need to cancel lessons at any time.
What is the summer lesson policy?
Due to our student waiting list, any student who needs to take a break from lessons during the summer months (June, July, and August), will be asked to continue to pay for the three month break. This guarantees that you will return to this lesson slot after your summer break. If you do not pay for your spot, it will be forfeited and filled immediately.

Can I terminate lessons at any time?
You are not bound to a contract, nor do you have to sign a contract to take lessons. You are free to terminate lessons at any time, but please be aware there is no money back guarantee once you pay for lessons at the beginning of the month. We strongly encourage you to finish out the month in which you paid for before terminating lessons.
Will there be any student recitals? Are they mandatory?
Two student recitals are offered each year; a spring recital (the first Saturday of June) and a Christmas recital (the first Saturday of December). They are not mandatory, but highly encouraged.
