studio policies

The Studio is open Monday through Friday. Please note, if you are reaching out via email, text, or phone on a Saturday or Sunday, Sarah and her team are not available on weekends, so you will receive a reminder away message and will hear back from us during Studio-open hours.

All lessons are conducted via Zoom. You will receive the link on how to set up the technology ahead of your first lesson, how to to log into your lesson, along with details about how to set up and prepare your space for your lesson in your confirmation email after you schedule your lesson right here!

Lessons begin on the hour. Sarah works between 50-60 minutes with each musician. Please allow for that timeframe when you plan for lessons.

The fee for a lesson is $125. You can schedule and pay for your lesson using our convenient online system right here.

At Sarah Hawkey Studio, we believe in the power of generosity. To this end, need-based and merit-based scholarships are available for a select number of students. For more information and to apply, visit the Scholarship page.

If you would like to sponsor a scholarship for a family in need, please contact Sarah via email here.

You can reschedule a lesson prior to 48 hours in advance of your lesson time.

If a lesson is missed without a minimum of 48 hours notice, you are required to pay for that lesson before receiving any other lessons.

Please be prompt! If you are running late, this is a friendly reminder that your lesson will still end on time.

Sarah will text one reminder at 5 minutes into your lesson time, and if by 10 minutes into your lesson time you’ve not logged in for your lesson, and there is no response, Sarah will log off and the lesson is a missed lesson. Missed lessons are the same as cancellations, and you must pay for your lesson before receiving any other lessons.
