Guitar, ukulele, and songwriting lessons

Inquire below for fun-centered music lessons, either virtually or at Kat's home studio in Piedmont, CA. 

Short term opportunities are also available. For example, Kat offers coaching for 8th grade or senior music-centered projects, as well as prep for arts magnet school or other music program auditions. There are currently only openings for students who are available before 3pm PST on weekdays. Short term projects and group lessons are also possible.

Policies 

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.  

Cancellation rules do not apply in the case of illness or family emergency. Sick students are not happy students, and a makeup will be credited for when the student is feeling better.  

Make-up lessons can be scheduled using Calendly for as soon as possible or saved for another time if desired. If I have to cancel, I will offer a make-up credit and make every effort to reschedule, and issue a credit if rescheduling is not possible. Lesson credits can also be redeemed by adding time on to future lessons when possible (For example, you can add 15 minutes to two lessons to use one 30 min credit, schedule allowing).

Lesson hiatus: Sometimes students benefit from taking a break from lessons. I will always do my best to find a new lesson time for a student after a break, but I can't guarantee a space as I also need to offer slots to students on my wait list when they come up.
