🛡️ Safety & Privacy

Creating a safe, respectful, and professional learning environment is a top priority — whether lessons are online, in your home, or at my studio. Below is a breakdown of what you can expect in each setting, including privacy and recording policies.

Online Classes (Zoom or Google Meet)

Online lessons are naturally a secure option, especially for students or families who prefer learning from home. All online lessons are conducted through private, secure meeting links.

  • You are welcome to record your sessions for personal review and educational use.

  • However, these recordings and any lesson content are protected as my intellectual property and may not be shared or published in any form without written consent.

  • Materials shared during online sessions are created with care and based on years of teaching experience, so I ask that they remain private.

In-Home Lessons

For in-home lessons, I bring everything needed for the class directly to your space, making it a relaxed and convenient experience for everyone.

  • Students or parents are free to record sessions for personal use.

  • As with all other formats, recordings and materials are not to be shared or distributed without prior written permission.

  • Since lessons take place in your home, it naturally provides a comfortable and controlled environment for both student and family.

In-Studio Lessons

In-studio lessons are monitored and recorded from start to finish for safety and quality purposes.

  • Parents or guardians are welcome to stay and observe at any time, especially for younger children.

  • You are also encouraged to record sessions for personal use, or simply request a copy of the studio recording if needed.

  • As always, these recordings and lesson materials are protected and must remain private.

General Safety Protocols

  • All lesson environments are respectful, inclusive, and judgment-free.

  • For younger students (especially under age 10), a parent or guardian is encouraged to be nearby or present for all in-person sessions.

  • All shared files, sheet music, and recordings are handled securely and kept between student and teacher unless otherwise agreed.

  • Students (or their guardians) may request access to their session notes or recordings at any time.
