To Take Music Lessons with Ms. Wunsch

Information about Music Lessons with Ms. Wunsch

Lessons are limited and are on an appointment-only basis with the instructor's prior approval. Students must pass a preliminary interview (not audition) to determine their readiness and committment to lessons.

Lessons are $40 per half-hour slot, payable one month in advance. One month's notice is required to terminate lessons, and there is a three-month minimum, payable by three monthly postdated checks. Discounts may be given as follows : 10% for each referral student that completes their three-month minimum, for as long as both continue to take lessons; 20% for second and succeeding immediate family members.

Lessons are held either at Ms. Wunsch's home in Carrollton, Texas (convenient to Carrollton, Farmer's Branch, Addison, North Dallas, Little Elm, and Richardson), Monday through Thursday, 2-6 p.m., or at the Juguemos Juntos Coffee Shopin Allen (convenient to Allen, Plano, Richardson, Fairview, Frisco, and McKinney) (see the map) on Fridays, 2-6 p.m. Lessons will be scheduled and occur at the same time each week. There are no walk-in lessons. Lessons cancelled because of sudden illness, weather, gridlock, or other reason may be rescheduled at no charge at the teacher's discretion. Lessons missed for foreseeable reasons will not be rescheduled.

Students will need access to the Internet to download and print their sheet music, or may order copies to be printed for three cents per page. Music ordered to be printed will be available for pickup at the next lesson. Students will need to buy music only in the rarest of cases.

Piano students must have access to a piano. Electronic keyboards are a temporary measure and lessons will not be productive with an electronic keyboard, no matter how full-featured or expensive. The piano is a mechanical instrument and no electronic device can sufficiently reproduce the feel or action of a mechanical device.

Voice students are encouraged to have a piano or keyboard available but there are other alternatives.

All students are expected to learn the basics of music theory, music history and sightreading. Voice students are encouraged to learn foreign languages.

College-bound students may request help on applying to schools, scholarships, college preparatory work, and the like.

I'm always looking for better ways to do this, so prospective and current students please book your lessons here (this is a free service). New students will need to book a minimum of 13 lessons, current students book one month at a time.
