Lessons can be paid by Venmo or by mailing a check. Zelle is available, but Venmo preferred. 

Lessons are paid monthly, with billing being done the week before the beginning of the new month (between the 21 st-24 th of the month). 

Payment for lessons is to be made to Mark West. Payment for lessons is never to be paid to the teacher. 

Lessons must be confirmed and paid for before the first lesson of the new month takes place. If you plan on skipping a week for the new month, you pay for one less lesson for the month. 

We have a 24-hour cancellation policy. Cancellations must be made with 24+hours notice. Lessons cancelled with less than 24 hours notice may be made-up the week of the cancellation at the availability and discretion of the teacher. A make-up opportunity is not guaranteed and cannot be promised. Cancellations by the client with less than 24 hours notice that are not made up means a forfeiture of payment for that lesson. 

Any cancellations made with more than 24 hours notice will have the payment for the lesson credited to the next month(you pay for one less lesson next month). 

Any cancellation made by the teacher regardless of notice in advance will be mean the payment for that lesson will be credited to the next month. 

By signing up for lessons, you have read and agree to this lesson payment policy. A summary of the payment policy will be sent to you again before the first lesson takes place.

Testimonials

We reached out to Mark in 2021 for lessons for our then 5 year old son,. He paired us with a perfect match for our son! She had experience working with small kids, was gentle, a great teacher, and even matched his sense of humor. We have been taking lessons thorough Mark’s team for over 2 years now and we couldn’t be happier. Our son loves music, has goals he works towards, and the lessons work well with our home and work schedules. I would recommend him to anyone in the Greater Boston area who wants music lessons for their children

As a working parent that had been looking for at-home piano lessons for my kids for months I was so happy to find Mark! Having worked with his company for a few months now I’m even happier. His flexible scheduling and clear communications are a breath of fresh air… meanwhile my kids are actually learning AND enjoying piano! Mark and Siobhan are exactly what I was looking for. I’m glad I didn’t give up the search.

We’ve been fortunate to discover Mark West Music Network for our children’s in-home piano lessons, and it’s been nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Grills, our children’s piano teacher, is the perfect fit for their learning journey. His endless knowledge and experience with kids and music not only make the lessons enjoyable but also instill in them a serene confidence to learn and excel.

From the moment we enrolled, the scheduling and payment arrangements have been effortless and organized, making the entire process seamless. Our kids eagerly anticipate each class, a testament to the engaging and enriching experience they receive.

We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have such a fantastic service available to us through Mark West Music Network.

We love working with Mark and our teacher Giuliana! Giuliana is wonderful – she has so much patience for my young son’s endless energy, adapts to his interests, and makes it fun! She also teaches me, and she is so supportive and enthusiastic when I find a new piece of music that I like. We really enjoy lessons with her!

Sergio is an exceptional piano teacher whose patient and encouraging approach has significantly boosted my child’s confidence and progress. His ability to tailor lessons to individual needs, combined with his genuine care for students’ success, makes each session enjoyable and highly effective. I chose Sergio based on Mark’s recommendation, and it has been one of the best decisions for my child’s musical journey.

I reached out to Mark looking for guitar lessons for my 6 year old. He responded right away and introduced us to Brian from his network. We couldn’t be more happy with the way things are going. Even my wife is now interested in learning the guitar. Mark continues to follow up with us to see how the lessons are going and to ensure everything is going great. I highly recommend New England Music Lessons if you or a family member is interested in learning to play an instrument.
