General Benefits of Private Lessons
- Each package includes four, six, or eight one-hour private lessons with me, Dr. Brandys-O'Neill. Based on the package you purchased, all lessons must be scheduled with me prior to June 8, 2025. If you choose to register after June 9, you must schedule all summer lessons within three days of registration.
- 100% Money Back Guarantee
- Schedule Flexibility (for Sustainer and Accelerator Packages): To accommodate summer camps, family vacations, and other family logistics, I am happy to offer a new capability for busy families: if you select the Sustainer or Accelerator lesson package (see below), you will be allowed to select your own unique dates and times for your lessons, online. You also do not have to have the same day and time each week for your lessons if you choose. Additionally, you can skip weeks or take multiple lessons in one week. So, for example, if you have a 7-day vacation in the middle of the semester, you could choose to have two lessons in the week before you go, and then skip lessons during your vacation week.
- Detailed Lesson Notes: After each lesson, students will receive clear, detailed notes and assignments outlining what to practice and where to focus. This helps keep students organized and enables parents to stay informed about their child’s progress.
- Home Help: In addition to learning a new repertoire, sight-reading, improving tone, and working on technical skills, you and your child will receive helpful short reading materials on how to practice efficiently and improve their flute playing. They will stay encouraged, motivated, and inspired to practice and feel refreshed and ready to start their fall semester.
- Flute Shopping and Maintenance Tips: On request, I can provide flute maintenance tips and referrals to my personal flute technicians, as well as recommendations on choosing a new flute if you are shopping for an instrument.
