45 minute lesson: $35
One Lesson per week paid monthly

(Important note: Having taught for some years, I've noticed 30 minute lessons are too short and hour lessons often can be too long. 45 minutes seems optimum to get the lessons point across. However, I will go over the time limit with no additional charge if necessary, to ensure the student understands the lesson. I want to create self empowered musicians with a love for the art form!)
