Sweetwater is an Indiana-based company that is the largest online retailer of musical instruments and pro audio equipment in the United States. They also have an in-person sales force, often current or former musicians, who can guide you in your purchase.
Although I’ve never bought an electronic piano from them, I have purchased microphone stands and other accessories that I use in making recordings for my website. They are very helpful and price competitive.
Visit their website, or give them a call at 800-222-4700.
Rescheduling is meant to provide you flexibility when you know, in advance, that you cannot attend your regular lesson. It’s offered as an occasional perk for situations like 1) doctor’s appointments, 2) one-time school events, and 3) vacation plans.
Please surrender your slot well before the minimum 24-hour notice requested and choose a replacement slot that’s a week before or after the absence. If you have trouble finding a slot, please let me know.
It is NOT a make-up lesson: Rescheduling is not intended to serve as a back door to receive a make-up lesson in events such as 1) sudden illness, 2) to avoid taking an online lesson when the church building shuts down during bad weather, 3) wanting to double up on lessons because you will be gone for an entire week during the spring or fall semester, and 4) where you give short notice in any situation where you could have provided advance notice.
Overuse/Misuse: If you need to reschedule frequently, please work with me to find a better lesson slot. I reserve the right to rescind rescheduling as a perk for a student or family if it’s overused or misused.
Rescheduled Lesson: A rescheduled lesson might be delivered 1) in person, 2) online, or 3) as a video lesson. Video lessons are available when a student misses their lesson and cannot reschedule because a slot is unavailable or the available slots don’t work with the student’s schedule.
A video lesson is asynchronous, like an email. The student uploads a video, and then the teacher provides feedback via return video.
