Single session: $100/hour

Four sessions/1 month: $360 ($90/hour)

Eight sessions/2 months: $680 ($85/hour)

Cancellation window: Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before your scheduled lesson to avoid a charge.

On-time cancellation: No charge. A makeup credit is issued automatically and can be used to book one additional session within 30 days.

Late cancellation (within 24 hours): The full session fee is charged. No makeup credit is issued.

No-show: The full session fee is charged. No makeup credit is issued.

Instructor-initiated cancellation: No charge to the student. A makeup credit is issued and does not expire.

Exceptions: Documented illness or family emergency may be excused at the teacher’s discretion. An excused absence receives a session credit, not a refund.

This policy applies to all students regardless of payment plan. By enrolling, you agree to these terms.

I teach lessons at my home in Plainsboro, NJ.

I only offer private lessons on an individual basis. However, I am available for masterclasses. Please contact me using the Lesson Request Form or email me directly at caitlin@caitlinteachestrumpet.com to request a masterclass for your students.

It depends on how much practice you can put in! Regardless of your level when we begin, we will work together to create a practice plan that works with your schedule and your individual goals.

Absolutely! Lessons with me are centered around building strong trumpet fundamentals that can be applied to any music you’re working on. Bring the music you need to prepare to your lessons, and we will work it into your practice routine.

Consistency is key! Most students do best on a weekly schedule, especially at the beginner and intermediate levels. Some advanced players prefer to schedule periodic check-ins after they have established effective routines of their own.
