Lessons


Tuition Policies:

Attendance

Our attendance policy is in place to diminish the heavy strain that multiple misses can put on an instructor’s already busy schedule. We also believe that consistent lessons help build discipline, confidence, progress, and momentum. We understand that unexpected events do occur, and we do our best to work with you as much as our schedules will allow.

Enrollment: New students are encouraged to join the studio at any time. Enrollment is ongoing.
Trial Lesson: The first trial lesson is a paid lesson, unless a special arrangement has been approved by Martin.
Weekly Lessons: Students will be required to take one lesson per week, unless a special arrangement has been approved by Martin.
Practice: Students will be required to practice at least three times per week, as momentum is the key to success. Students will also be required to bring a folder, and a phone to record videos, when possible.
Absences: A minimum notice of 48 hours is required for any schedule conflicts or changes aside from illness or emergencies. If less than 48 hours notice is given, the lesson will be considered a missed lesson and will not be rescheduled.
Make-Up Lessons: All excused lessons must be completed within 30 days. Students are expected to make up excused absences. Please reach out to Martin with any exceptions. Exceptions will be determined by our management.
Tardiness: Please be sure to communicate if you are running late to your teacher to ensure they are aware of your situation. Any tardiness beyond 15 minutes will be regarded as an unexcused absence.
Illness: All members of a household must be symptom and fever free for a full 24 hours before a lesson. If a student or family member stays home from school/work, they should let the teacher know by 12 PM CST to reschedule. Please allow as much notice as possible when cancelling due to illness.
Emergencies: Exceptions to this policy due to illness, emergencies and/or extenuating circumstances will be at the discretion of our management.
Teacher cancellations: If a teacher needs to cancel a lesson, he or she will offer an alternative time to reschedule, within 30 days.
Referrals: As your referrals are our best advertisement, we offer $108 for any referral, for any of our teachers, once the student has signed up for a month of lessons.
Spring Break: Students will receive one week during spring break when lessons are optional. If the student is traveling for 2 weeks, the second lesson will be considered a make-up lesson, and must be scheduled and taken within the next 30 days.
Winter Break: Students will receive two weeks during winter break when lessons are optional.If the student is traveling for 3 weeks, the third lesson will be considered a make-up lesson, and must be scheduled and taken within the next 30 days.
Summer Lessons: Summer is an invaluable time to study with more depth. Students are encouraged to take multiple lessons per week, extend their existing time, and/or develop personalized goals and projects with the guidance of their teacher. As momentum is one of the key ingredients for success, students are encouraged to continue study during the summer months. Please reach out to your teacher to discuss scheduling options.

Testimonial


We are truly loving working with Martin Metzger. Our 12-year old son looks forward to his lessons and is excited to play the music he and Martin choose together. Martin strongly believes in allowing kids to follow their interests, and has the talent, interest, and patience to help them do so in a wide range of genres. Martin is knowledgeable and dedicated both as a musician and as an educator. We travel a bit of a distance for lessons and are convinced it's well worth our time. We recommend him highly to anyone at any age looking for a great guitar instructor." Tammy R.
I love learning guitar from Marty! He's been my guitar teacher for four years now and I'm still happy with him. Marty has adapted his lesson style as I learn and got older, so the lesson is always interesting with new things to learn. We've also developed a bunch of inside jokes. Marty is a nice guy who makes learning guitar about enjoying music and teaching yourself discipline to be able to learn guitar. You will learn something new every lesson! I wouldn't pick any teacher over him!! Allison G.
