Lesson Policies

               Andreatta Studio Lesson Policy

                             Welcome to my percussion studio. I look forward to working with you as your                                                    percussion teacher. The following is a lesson policy to keep things organized for                                              everyone. If you have any questions, please visit the Contact section and leave your info.

               Cost

                              30 min lesson - $25

                              60 min lesson - $40

                              Group lesson (2+ players) - $50 per hour

*I will drive to you within range of my studio in Northeast Ohio at your school or other location, an additional fee ($10-$20)  will be added per lesson, based on the distance and availability of the instructor.*      

Payments can be made by cash or check. Checks should be made out to Drew Andreatta. This does not include materials needed for lessons. This can include, but is not limited to, books or mallets. I can also provide information and suggestions for any additional expenditures based on student need or interest.              

               Scheduling and Attendance

Lessons will be scheduled by mutual consent between the teacher and student/parent and continue weekly at the same time unless otherwise agreed upon between teacher and student/parent.            

               Expectation of Students

Students are expected to be on time and prepared for each weekly lesson, including bringing materials. Failure to arrive at the scheduled time will not result in the extension of the lesson time. Repeated missed lessons without proper communication can result in expulsion from the studio.

               Practice/Time Management

The following are daily (5-6 days a week, with 1-2 days rest) practice suggestions to prepare for weekly lessons and overall student development. It is also advised to maintain a weekly practice regimen (i.e. M-T-W-R-Sa-Sun) similar to an exercise or training program. Your personal development will benefit greatly from continual exposure to materials covered in lessons.
