"I was nervous, anxious, and very insecure about my decision to pursue piano lessons again as an adult, since abandoning lessons when I was a teenager. After much consideration, I started looking for a new piano teacher that was convenient for me. Before meeting Niki, we communicated via email and phone. She seemed genuinely concerned about my desires, goals and hopes in learning the piano, which I liked very much. Niki was even more warm, friendly, and energetic in person. I must say, what I appreciate most about Nikole since having lessons with her for the past several months is that she has been EXCEPTIONALLY patient, encouraging and thoughtful during lessons. I've become more confident as a piano player and as a person because of Niki's passion and heartfelt guidance as a teacher. Thanks so much, Niki!!"

1. Students take lessons once a week (or two lessons per week if requested and approved). They enjoy flexibility that is built into scheduling to help ensure that this happens.
2. Students reschedule lessons to another week or extend the duration of future lessons rather than skipping lessons. This policy is relaxed during the summer.
3. Students submit payments in 4-lesson cycles in the week before the start of the next cycle. Acceptable payment methods Include Zelle, cash, or check. All payments are non-refundable. Any unused lessons in a 4-lesson cycle will remain as a credit for 6 months before being forfeited.
4. A lesson that is canceled with 24-hours notice or less is missed and the fee is forfeited. Students can simply reschedule their lesson for cancellations made with more than 24-hours notice (though 48-hours notice or more is appreciated)
5. If the instructor cannot teach for any particular reason, she will work with the student to reschedule the lesson(s).
