Private Lessons

At Mr. Music we can teach you how to play nearly any instrument! One of the best purchases for the money in the world of music is private lessons. Nothing beats having a professional musician sitting right next to you demonstrating and explaining how to properly play your instrument. Taking lessons, with a bit of practice everyday, is the quickest way to advance your playing skill level.

Call Mr. Music at 260-483-8230 for available times.

Length: All of the lessons at Mr. Music are private, one-on-one, 30-minute sessions, with an accomplished musician, in our clean, modern music studios and meet once a week.

Cost: Each 30 minute lesson is $16.

Mr. Music Program Policies

Payment Terms

Lessons are sold in blocks of four, payable the first week of each month to your instructor. On those months in which there are five lesson days, lessons will be sold in blocks of five, payable the first week of the month. Payment must be received prior to the lesson time otherwise the time-slot may be lost. Acceptable forms of payment include cash and check paid directly to your music instructor. Please make checks payable to your music instructor.

Attendance Policy

Mr. Music’s attendance policy regards regular and consistent attendance to be critical in the learning process. Simply put, the student must be present in order for any progress to be made. Your lesson time slot is reserved for you. Your instructor relies on your attendance to make a living. If you do not attend, they take a cut in pay. However, Mr. Music also recognizes that sometimes there can be a conflict in scheduling. In trying to balance the two out, Mr. Music has adopted the following attendance policy:

• A student may call in to excuse themselves from a lesson only once in any eight week period. That lesson will be made up as a credit on your next month’s bill.
• A student that is a no-call, no-show for two consecutive weeks will be removed from the schedule.
• Due to limited space and time availability, missed lessons cannot be re-scheduled.
• If a student will be absent for an extended period of time (3 weeks or more) the time slot cannot be held without being paid for in advance.
• Severe weather or school closings may affect lessons. Please call Mr. Music (483-8230) to find out whether or not lessons have been canceled.
• If the instructor is absent you will not be charged for the lesson and it will be made up as a credit on your next month’s bill. Please make sure Mr. Music has your phone number so that we can notify you on those occasions when the instructor is absent.
• During the calendar year Mr. Music will not have lessons on the following dates:
   
  Memorial Day
  Fourth of July
  Labor Day
  Thanksgiving Day
  Christmas Eve
  Christmas Day
  New Years Eve
  New Years Day
