The Details
Call us at 217-352-DRUM or email Liz Hawkins (lizatskinsntins_att.net) to schedule a lesson.
LESSONS: are generally a half-hour, once a week, and during store hours. Your lesson is at the same time each week unless you notify us to cancel.
PAYMENT: $20.00 for a half hour lesson / $40.00 for a one hour lessons. Lessons are to be paid to the teacher either through cash or check. No debit or credit cards please. Please check in at the front desk to pay the cashier for your lesson before the lesson starts.
PRE-PAY: Every student is to be paid at least one lesson in advance to the teacher. This lesson payment floats along until it is used, either for your last lesson or a no-show. If you have a no-show, or you cancel the day of the lesson, you will need to pay for that lesson before the next scheduled lesson. If you pay for your lessons a month at a time, you still need to pay one lesson ahead.
CANCELLATIONS: The teacher needs at least a twenty-four hour notice if you can't make the lesson. You can call the shop during business hours or leave a message. If you are on the schedule and do not show up, or call to cancel in less than twenty-four hours in advance, you will be expected to pay the teacher for the lesson.
WHAT TO BRING: Spiral notebook or staff book, a pair of drumsticks, and any material that you might want to work on.
