NineArtsLessons Policies & Student Agreement

 

We are a family owned South Florida community-driven music school bringing music lessons to students of all ages and levels. Since our start 10+ years ago, NineArts Lessons has grown beyond our expectations, and through word of mouth alone. To better serve our communities' growing demand for at-home private lessons, we work with a team of highly trained and experienced music teachers, and together we provide private music lessons uniquely designed for each student. 

​

This agreement outlines expectations and requirements from our students/families/households when committing to lessons. Practicing an instrument takes time and commitment from both individual students and supporting household members. 

​

By agreeing to take lessons with NineArtsLessons, it shows you have read and understand our policies and commit to our requirements.

​

Most importantly, we want to THANK YOU for your business, and look forward to  making music with you for years to come!  

​

Our NineArtsLessons Team

​

Our goal is to provide students and families with high quality at-home music lessons, and to provide a well-established consistent work environment for our team. Our teachers are under contract with NineArtsLessons LLC to teach our clients exclusively under NineArtsLessons LLC. 

Once a parent/student/teacher relationship is established through NineArtsLessons LLC, it will remain under NineArtsLessons LLC exclusively. Soliciting a NineArtsLessons LLC teacher is prohibited and puts teachers under contract with NineArtsLessons LLC at risk. 

 

What We Teach  

• Music Theory and beyond, including and tradition musical  notation, chord charts, and tablature,  

• Exercises to strengthen and improve technique,  

• Depending on student level and musical interests, students learn to  play a wide range of material, from classical pieces to pop songs,  

• Performance,  

• Songwriting, recording, video, and more!

 

The Art of Practice

Students should have a suitable practice environment during lessons and for their own practice time. The best practice space has appropriate  seating, instrument(s), with little to no distractions, and all lesson materials  should stay together (instrument, books/notebooks, tuner, music stand,  etc). 

​

We collect payment for a full month's lessons in advance (4-5 lessons), collected on the 1st week of  every month. We accept cash, check, Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, PayPal, and ApplePay, and Stripe.We use MyMusicStaff for scheduling and payment options.
