Katie Benyo - Lessons

Katie Benyo - Violin, Viola, Fiddle, Mandolin, Guitar Lessons

Private Lessons:

Violin, Fiddle, Viola, Guitar, Mandolin

Lessons are offered in a variety of styles. Students can learn by ear or with music. ALL AGES! It's never to late to learn an instrument!

Katie's teaching style is based on the belief that her student's needs are of the utmost importance. Basic skills are taught and the direction of the lessons are dictated by the student's interests, whether it be in alternative styles, or classical music.

No matter what the style, a basic technical foundation for success will be developed!

Katie would love the opportunity to earn your trust and give you the best musical instruction possible!

Lesson Costs and Fees:

1/2 hour lessons: $70/month (4 lessons) or $20/lesson

1 hour lessons: $140/month (4 lessons) or $40/lesson

Beginning Costs:

Each student will need to rent an instrument, I highly recommend the Wyatt Violin Shop in Independence, MO. Students will also need to purchase a shoulder rest before the first lesson, and I will recommend a book after the first lesson.

Lesson Payment:

Payment is due at the beginning of each month (or at the beginning of the lesson if paying per lesson). I can accept cash or check, sorry no credit cards.

Lesson Policy:

Monthly tuition reserves a weekly time slot and a lower hour or half-hour rate.
A lesson that is missed because the instructor cannot be present for any reason will be completely refunded, unless the student wishes to reschedule. The student is under no obligation to reschedule if the instructor is the cause for the missed lesson, and can instead accept the refund.
If a lesson is missed due to the students' circumstances, then the following rules applies:
- The instructor will make a best attempt to find time to schedule a makeup lesson. Even if no makeup time is available, the student will still be charged the full lesson price. Make-ups must be scheduled within 4 days of missed lessons and cannot take the place of normal lesson times.
- Make-up lessons are available with 24 hour notification before the scheduled lesson time. (In cases of illness or emergency, please just give me a call and we can work something out).
- A no-call, no-show will not be made up.
