Scheduling And Payment - Piano Lessons With Scott Coletta

I teach full-time and have students scheduled during the mornings, afternoons and evenings. My schedule is usually very filled in but I do occasionally have openings for new students depending on where they are located and when they are available. If you’re interested in setting up a time, contact me to discuss options. I also keep a waiting list if we aren’t able to find a time that works right away.

I am currently teaching both in person and online. In person lessons take place in your home and online lessons are over Skype or FaceTime. I started teaching online in 2011 to accommodate students who lived out of range. Meeting in person is ideal but the online platforms work very well and aside from the occasional technical glitch, I've learned how to work around the limitations and provide an equally beneficial experience for my students compared to in person. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Payments and scheduling work as follows:

Your first lesson is no charge, just to get acquainted and make sure it's a good fit for everyone. If you decide to continue, payments can be made by cash, check or online through your bank or via Zelle, Venmo or PayPal.
Lessons are scheduled for a regular weekly time that is reserved for each student.
Lessons are paid for in groups of 5 lessons at a time. Payment is due at the first lesson of the group.
If I plan to miss a lesson or I’m unable to make a lesson, the remaining lessons in the group will roll over to the following week.
In each group of 5 lessons, if you need to miss 1 lesson, the remaining lessons in the group will roll over to the following week. If you need to miss more than 1 lesson in the group, the additional missed lesson(s) will be forfeited.*
I will send a weekly text update detailing where we stand in each group of 5 lessons.

*If you don't miss a lesson during a group of 5 lessons, the unmissed lesson will NOT roll over to the next group of 5 lessons. Putting lessons on hold "taking a break" will be at my discretion depending on circumstances and scheduling availability.

It’s often considered unnecessary to spend a lot of money on quality when trying something new as a beginner. If you sign up for a new sport, you probably don’t want to buy the highest priced gear until you’re experienced. That makes sense. And you certainly don’t need a $50,000 piano to start learning piano. But… we’re talking about equipment here, not knowledge. You can look for a less expensive teacher if you’re just starting out or are less experienced, but learning piano is about knowledge… and knowledge is cumulative. Starting with a more experienced and knowledgeable teacher saves time and money in the long run because you accumulate the right knowledge from the start. I’ve had many students over the years that have worked with other teachers before, and we often have to spend a lot of time unraveling preconceived notions that are getting in the way of progress. It’s not necessarily that other teachers aren’t knowledgeable, but more just how they share their knowledge with students. It’s knowing how to be flexible and adapt to the student that makes the difference in the quality. And getting that quality from the start can make all the difference in whether a student feels successful or not. That’s worth paying extra for.
