Tuition Rate

• Tuition is $23.50 per lesson ($94 for a 4 lesson month / $117.50 for a 5 lesson month), lessons are prorated for students starting in the middle of the month (Ex. 2 lessons = $47)
• Tuition covers the 30 minute lessons, semiannual recitals, and make-up lessons (if needed)
• Payment is due for the entire month, regardless of the attendance of the student.

Single Lesson Rate:  For students who cannot commit to a weekly lesson schedule, we offer single lessons at a rate of $27 per ½ hr.  Please call in advance to check teacher availabilities and to set a lesson date.  As a confirmation and guarantee to the teacher, payment is due before the lesson takes place.

Tuition Due Date:  Tuition is due by the first of the month.  Payment not received by the first of the month will result in a $10 late charge

Payment methods:   We accept the following methods of payment: ACH direct checking withdrawal, cash, check, debit, and credit card.  However, because of the added expense, credit transactions are subject to a $2 fee.  Payment can also be made over the phone via credit card ($2 fee applies).

Holidays & Teacher Cancellations:   There is no charge for the holidays on which we are closed.  These include Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day.  If a teacher cancels a lesson you have two options:  1) Try to schedule a make-up lesson at some other time or 2) Receive a lesson-credit towards next month's tuition.

Excused Absence:  We request that students give 24 hours notice when canceling a lesson.  At the very minimum, please give 6 hours notice.  This will be considered an excused absence.  We will try our best to schedule a make-up lesson, though it is not guaranteed.  The following policies apply to make-up lessons:

• Excused absences do not earn a credit for the following month
• The ability to schedule a make-up expires 4 weeks after the missed lesson
• Make-up lessons can only be scheduled for existing paying students.  They may not be scheduled after a student discontinues lessons, and cannot be transferred to siblings or other students
• Once a make-up lesson is scheduled it cannot be rescheduled

Unexcused Absence:  If we receive less than a 6 hour notice for a cancellation, the absence is considered unexcused.  No make-up lesson will be given and the lesson is forfeited.  This is required in order to help the teachers keep accurate records of their schedules. 

Discontinuing Lessons:  When a student wishes to discontinue lessons, or take any length of time off, we must be notified before the scheduled lesson times.  We assume that all students plan on continuing lessons into the next month unless notified otherwise in writing or via email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
