Enrollment in the Taylor Piano Studio gives you access to a time slot for weekly 30-minute lessons, and to two student recitals a year. Your enrollment also helps fund my professional development and exploration of new teaching resources. Thank you for partnering with me!

Expectations

• I will help students develop their skills as pianists and musicians. I will communicate practice expectations to students. I will offer two recitals a year.
• I expect students to practice regularly and to follow directions.
• I expect parents to help their children carve out a regular practice time, and to find alternate times to practice when life gets busy. I will communicate books and materials I recommend for your purchase.

Prerequisites

Before beginning lessons, students must have an instrument at home in good condition. Acoustic pianos need tuning every 6-12 months, and digital pianos need weighted keys.

Students must also have a completed Availability form that I will provide them in advance. Please treat this form as an informed guess as to your usual availability. I will consult these forms to offer you a regular time slot. When you accept a time slot, it’s yours for the term unless we agree to reschedule it.

Fall ‘25 Priority Access

My Fall semester runs from Mon., Aug. 11 through Fri., Dec. 19. Please note the MACC will be closed Aug. 4 – 8.

Until Mon., Aug. 4 I will give priority access to Fall time slots to returning students who have updated their Availability forms and committed to the semester (assuming we find a mutually agreeable time slot).

As of Tue., Aug. 5 students on my waiting list will gain equal opportunity to time slots.

Fall ‘25 Billing

During the school year I charge for the number of weeks I make your time slot available (rather than for lessons given like in the Summer). Commitment is made for a semester at a time, or for the remainder of the semester.

Your semester total will be billed via email in monthly increments at the start of each month, from September to January.

Cancellations are not normally refunded, so rescheduling in advance is encouraged. I want my students to make as many lessons as possible, so I’ll be happy to try to find you a swap for another student’s time slot!

The free lesson built into my semester may be used to cover inclement weather or my getting sick; it is not available for students starting later than Mon., Oct. 20 (my semester’s halfway point).

Some days next to school breaks are refundable if you notify me in advance that you’d like to cancel (see Calendar below). Refunds will be applied to the semester’s last bill.

If you are new to my studio and feel my teaching style is not the best fit for you, please let me know after a few lessons and I won’t require you to finish the semester.

Fall ‘25 Totals

Monday: $544 (18 weeks available; 1 is free, 1 is refundable)

Tuesday: $544 (18 weeks available; 1 is free, 1 is refundable)

Wednesday: $512 (17 weeks available; 1 is free, 1 is refundable)

Thursday: $512 (17 weeks available; 1 is free, 0 are refundable)

Friday: $512 (17 weeks available; 1 is free, 3 are refundable)

Example: If we agreed on a Monday time slot and started Aug. 18, the 2nd week of my Fall semester, your semester total would be $512 ($32, times 17 weeks remaining in the semester, minus 1 free week). This would be billed in 5 monthly increments of $102.40 from Sept. to Jan. If the student canceled Labor Day (9/1) and canceled another week due to sickness, at the end of the semester I would refund $32 for Labor Day but not for the sick day.

Please call or email me with any questions, requests or concerns!

Sincerely,

Jeremy Taylor
