Chuck Michaelson Studio Policy 2023
I’d like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to teach you or your child how to play a musical instrument. I believe music is an important part of life, and learning to play an instrument can be a rewarding experience. I will do everything I can to help you succeed in accomplishing your musical goals. Below is my studio policy.
INTERVIEW AND TUITION
A complimentary 15-minute in-studio interview is available for all prospective students interested in taking private lessons.
Private lessons are charged on a monthly basis. Payment is due at the first lesson of each month.
LESSON OPTIONS
Lessons are 45 or 60 minutes weekly. 30-minute lessons are available for young beginners.
Lessons are taught in my studio, located in NE Portland.

RATES/PAYMENT POLICY
a. 60-minute lessons: $50
b. 45-minute lessons: $40
c. 30-minute lessons (recommended for young beginners): $35
Checks should be made out to “Chuck Michaelson”. Cash, Apple Pay, Venmo and Paypal are also accepted.
If you are late with your payment more than twice, please add a $15 late fee to your check. No refunds will be given once a payment is made. A $30.00 fee will be charged for NSF checks. After the second NSF checks, only cash payments will be accepted.
LESSON TIMES/MAKEUPS
The time slot that you have booked for lessons is yours for as long as you hold that time. Make-up lessons will be offered to students who give at least 1-week’s notice for planned events (such as school plays and trips), and 24-hours notice for illness and unexpected emergencies. Make-up lessons will take place on an agreed upon time during the week. Students who miss scheduled lessons without giving notice will not be offered make-ups for these times, regardless of the reason.
STUDY MATERIALS/PRACTICE EXPECTATIONS
A three-ring binder (binders with pockets preferred) is needed along with lined notebook paper or a small notebook for writing down lesson assignments. I will make supplemental sheet music available as well as recordings of current pieces. I will also indicate any instructional books and materials needed.
Students should complete their assignments each week. Daily practice is vital to musical progress. The recommended amount of practice time should generally be at least 4-5 days a week.
DISCONTINUING LESSONS
Please give at least 2-weeks notice if you are planning to discontinue lessons. Any lessons already paid for will not be refunded.
Important note to parents:
It is extremely important that you be involved in your child’s lessons to make sure that they are practicing their assignments each week. If you don’t already play an instrument, learning along with your kids can make the whole experience fun for everyone and I can guarantee you will see great progress. Paying for music lessons is an investment and I want you to get the most return for your money. Participate in your child’s lessons and the results will be immensely rewarding for all of you.
