Cy Torgerson: Guitar & Bass Instruction
Registration/Student Information
"I started an interest in playing guitar when I was 11 & then went on to take lessons at the age of 16. I have played professionally on and off since the age of 18 & currently play in and around the San Antonio area. I have also worked for concert promoters, owned & operated a live PA sound company & have bought and sold vintage equipment over a period of 37 years or more. I am a trained instructor. Just because someone can play well does not necessarily mean they can teach. I have a degree in Education from UTSA and I have always loved teaching. I have a passion for playing and a passion for teaching!"

Lesson Fees:
Guitar/Bass
lessons
are $100 a month with a $25 one time sign up fee.
Lessons are one 30 minute session weekly.
The lesson fee is due
at the first lesson of every month & is
non-refundable.
It is the same regardless of
how many weeks are in a month.
There are 52 weeks in a year.
We teach 48 weeks in a year with the remainder 4
weeks as "off" weeks for yearly holidays.
Holidays are Spring Break, Memorial Day, Labor Day,
July 4th, Thanksgiving
(Wednesday through Friday), and Christmas through New Years.
The $25 sign up fee is straight
forward.
It is for materials handed
out & includes a first time set up on your
instrument
- less the cost of strings, etc.
A set up includes; cleaning & examination of
the neck,
installing new strings & setting
truss rod intonation.
This service is available at
no charge as long as needed
or until the student is capable of
doing it themselves.
Other guitar
schools
that claim not to have
a signup fee
will still charge you $25+ for a guitar set up on the
side.
We have no hidden
fees.
Equipment needed for guitar lessons are
a functioning guitar, a tuner, metronome and a capo.
(Poorly made guitars are not conducive to learning.)
Attendance/Cancellation policy:
You are required to attend all lessons unless you are ill and cannot make the lesson, or in case of a family emergency. All other excuses (homework, movie, etc) will not be given a make up lesson.
*In cases of severe weather,
floods and ice/snow storms,
lessons cannot be made up due to the amount of
students enrolled.
Periodically throughout the year we
enjoy giving our students opportunities to
show off what they can do by performing live
for family and friends, with our own HGA
"house" band, made up of instructors & other advanced students.
For Students that decide to
participate in one of our
live performances
we ask for
a fee to help cover production expenses. This is not
mandatory,
but as with any well put together production there are expenses.
The drummer, bassist,
vocalist & keyboardist spend 5
practice sessions
& countless
hours learning songs they will
only play for
one event.
Other expenses
such as paying for help at
the show,
running sound to
bottles
of water, loading and
unloading equipment, add up
quickly.
It
is important to
us that
we provide
them
with the
professionalism
they deserve.
As
always, my
time and
efforts are of
course donated!
