Once you have selected your lesson package and club options, I will confirm and send you an invoice (you’ll have the option to pay in one or two installments) and then you can go ahead and schedule your lessons for whatever times work for you (between June 1 and August 16) on my Calendly.
A note about looking ahead at the fall term - I try my very best to allow my students to hold on to their same time slot from spring to fall, but I can’t guarantee this, as my schedule is a wacky patchwork quilt, and I want to fit everyone in. I will offer higher priority to students who enroll in a summer lesson package, when it comes time for fall lesson scheduling.
MUSIC CLUB!
One thing I love about the work I do is knowing that my students can build on these musical skills for life. I love picturing them playing on college dorm floors with new friends, performing at family weddings, or strumming around the campfire with loved ones. I just want them all to go forth armed with the goods to play with all the other musical people they will meet. Music connects people in stunning ways. And learning to play in a group is not only exciting, but it also uniquely challenges you. These are the reasons why I’ve decided to create more opportunities for my students to gain experience playing music with other people now.
But what even is Music Club?
Music club is for students who have taken guitar or ukulele lessons for at least one term with me (or at least 4 months with another teacher.) Each club will learn a set of songs together. The songs selected will offer different levels of challenge (strumming and picking patterns, lead parts, etc), depending on skill level. Each musician will have the opportunity to share what they’ve been practicing and receive feedback from Kat and from the group. At the end of the session, there will be a Family Jam Picnic, where we can all play together and our families can sing along or just eat snacks!
I know that summers get busy, so no worries if you can’t make every club meeting, though the fee can not be prorated.
Music Club will meet at my studio at in Oakland.

Cancellation policy:
Excused absences are cancellations made with more than 24 hours notice. For an excused absence, the student will be credited a make-up lesson. Unexcused absences are cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice or notice. Those absences are not made up.
I ask that my students (or their parents) be responsible for keeping track of any lesson credits and scheduling the make-ups with me.
Cancellation rules do not apply in the case of illness or family emergency. In this case, a makeup will be credited.
Makeup lessons can be scheduled using Calendly for as soon as possible or anytime before the current term’s end. If I have to cancel for any reason, I will offer a make-up credit and make every effort to reschedule. Lesson credits can also be redeemed by adding time on to future lessons (For example, you can add 15 minutes to two lessons to use one 30 min credit, schedule allowing).
Missed music club meetings can not be made up.
