Welcome! We look forward to working with all of you in the future, but here are a few guidelines we need to go over before we begin.



1. Eberhard's name is tough, so you have a couple of options. You can call him Eb, E-Man, or Eberhard.  Megan's name is pronounced Meee - gan.

2. All students need to come to lessons with their instrument(s) in tune (unless noted for beginners).

3. If the student is 10 minutes late for a lesson without calling, then it will be assume the lesson has been forfeited.

4. Payment is due on the FIRST lesson of the month with a monthly rate of $90.00.

6. If a NSF check occurs, you will be billed an extra $30.00 After a second NSF check, only money and money orders will be accepted.

7. Music books are not included into the monthly charge. We do give handouts out for free when appropriate times occur in a lesson.

8a. If the payment is later then the second lesson a $10.00 late fee will be added per week.

11. If the student has called within the allotted (24) hours, Engel School of Music will make it's best efforts to facilitate a time for a make-up lesson. However, a make-up time, and or lesson is not always guaranteed.
