What do I need to get started?
An instrument in working condition and the willingness to learn!
Remote lessons will require a computer with a camera and internet connection, or an iPhone/Android with FaceTime or similar program.
Items that are highly recommended for guitar or bass include a strap, picks, extra strings, a tuner, and a metronome. For electric instruments you’ll need at least a small practice amp and a cable to plug in eventually but you can still get started without them.
For ukulele you just need a tuner to get started.
What’s your cancellation policy?
With fewer than 24 hours notice of a cancellation, you will be charged for the missed lesson to cover the cost of the studio space at the store. When possible we can schedule a makeup lesson that same week. If you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson, please text or call me directly. 404-357-9262 or or email: john.p.mcnicholas@gmail.com
In the event I am unavailable to teach, a lesson may be rescheduled. I will generally let the student know well in advance but in the case of illness or emergency I will notify the student as soon as possible.
