Lesson Policies

First Lesson

This half-hour session will:

  • Introduce the student and their background

  • Determine if the student and teacher are a good fit

  • Establish goals for the lessons

  • Provide the student with practice resources

The first lesson is free! Subsequent lessons are paid for using one of the listed payment plans.

Lesson Location

Lessons are typically held at students’ homes. Opportunities for lessons at schools in Columbia and Jefferson City may be available in the future.

Lesson Expectations

Lessons will usually begin with technique (scales, arpeggios, etudes, extended techniques) before digging into repertoire. It is helpful for the student to plan what they want to work on before the lesson, but the instructor will provide guidance. The student should assemble their instrument and warm up before the lesson begins.

Scheduling and Rescheduling

Lessons are typically once a week and should be arranged by contacting the instructor. If a lesson needs to be rescheduled, contact the instructor as soon as possible.

Missed Lesson

Lessons canceled or missed by the student with LESS THAN 24 HOURS’ notice will not be rescheduled or refunded. Lessons canceled with MORE THAN 24 HOURS’ notice will be given a make-up lesson credit to use within 14 days. Extra lessons and make-up lesson times (in-person or online) are subject to teacher availability.

Payment Method

Payment must always be received before a lesson takes place. It is strongly encouraged to have payment ready at the beginning of the lesson. Acceptable forms of payment include:

  • Credit or debit card on jacksax.com

  • Venmo to @Jackson-Huenefeldt

  • Checks made out to “Jackson Huenefeldt”
