| First, it important to know what your paying for!
As I have mentioned in my program descriptions, the first lesson is free. Why do I do this? It’s important that you know what you’re getting first. I challenge my competitors to offer this same service. It is in your best interest as a student or parent of a student to shop around and get a feel of what you’re paying for. You wouldn’t buy a car without test driving it. Music lessons, being a long term investment of time and money, should be approached the same way.
There is a couple of things that happen with in the free lesson.
- You get to see my teaching style.
- I get to know the learning style of the student (Aural, Tactile or Visual)?
- We can assess lesson frequency and duration based on the goals of the student.

How do I pay for Lessons?
I have two systems in place for this. One is through an online subscription system and the other is by check or cash. The online system offers several advantages.
- The online system can be paid through Paypal, Credit Card, Debit or via direct draw from your bank account. Paying by credit card will allow you to accumulate airline miles. If you have a child who is enrolled in home school, this equates to free airline miles.
- Subscription payments are automatic. No worrying about making payments on time, it’s on time like clockwork. You have full control over your subscription (s) which gives you the ability to modify or cancel them easily. As an added feature, you also have the ability to view and print your invoices.
- The subscription system is totally secure. You have full control over the payment schedule through your secure forum profile settings.
- If for some reason you need to cancel a lesson, a charges can be reversed easily.

But I don’t feel comfortable with subscription payments
If you are viewing this through your own internet connection, chances are that payments are sent to your internet service provider automatically. I use the same secure system that is the industry accepted standard by banks around the world.I can still take cash or check, but it is more expensive. Why? Because not using the online system means doing everything manually. This includes everything from invoicing to processing payments.I teach students to be efficient when they play their instrument. It only makes sense that I would extend this to your billing. |

So whats the bottom line?
Lessons (doesn’t matter what instrument)
*$41.20 per hour
Note for the Kenai Borough District there is a 3% sales tax (added in the total).

I also have specials on leased guitars and amplifiers. Students can rent a guitar for $5 a week or a guitar and amplifier for $10 a week. This cost is reimbursable if your enrolled in Home school.
Lee Gattenby Music is conveniently located near the cities of Kenai and Soldotna (check the Locations link). Therefore a 3% tax is levied for all lessons and materials.
Ok, I’m ready to start! |
