Fees
$ 50.00 Dollars Per Hour
Sherry VanOveren's accompanying base fee is $50 per hour with a minimum charge of an hour. Once the music is received, level of difficulty and length of piece is evaluated. If the piece is very lengthy (over 5 pages) or will require extended practice time, an additional amount will be charged. This will be determined on a per situation basis. After the $50 minimum and length/difficulty adjustment fee, additional rehearsal time is charged at $12.50 per fifteen minute increments or portion thereof.
If rehearsals are NOT at my home studio, an additional $15 travel fee will be charged for locations within the Grand Rapids area.
