- The monthly tuition fee remains flat no matter the number of lessons attended. Tuition holds the student’s place in my studio.
- Tuition may be paid online, or by check, cash, or auto bill pay. Upon enrollment, you will gain access to online payment and scheduling.
- Tuition is due by the 10th of the month. Payment received after the 10th will incur a $15 late charge.
- A delinquent account (more than 30 days past due) will result in temporary suspension of lessons. If you need to request consideration regarding financial matters, I am always happy to work with you to find a solution that works for your situation.
- Major holidays, months with 5 lessons, and special lessons (such as audition coaching) are factored into the tuition rates. Therefore, holiday weeks are not made up, and 5th week or special lessons are not charged extra.

MAKE UP LESSONS:
- WITH 24 hours notice, you will receive a make up credit.
- WITHOUT 24 hours notice, no make-up will be provided.
- A student may accumulate a maximum of 3 make up credits at any given time.
- Make-up credits not used within 6 months will be forfeited.
- Make up credits may be used in one of three ways:
- You may sign up for a group make up class via MyMusicStaff.
- You may sign up for an individual make up lesson via MyMusicStaff.
- You may do a digital make up lesson. Please contact me for specifics.
- If I have to cancel a lesson I will automatically issue you a monetary credit.
- Current students may visit the Studio Info page for more information on make ups.
OTHER INFORMATION:
- A piano or keyboard in the home is needed for the student’s success. If the student does not have an instrument in the home, progress will be severely limited.
- Music books, an assignment folder, and supplementary materials will be provided for each individual based on their skill level and musical preferences. These on-going costs are included in the annual Admin Fee.
- Students should bring all materials with them to each lesson. Failure to do so may result in that lesson being shortened or cancelled, with no make-up.
- When teaching, I am completely focused on the student and will not respond to calls or texts. However, if you are running late or need to cancel last minute, please text me and I will view it during a break.
- Students MUST practice at home during the week in order to progress. A new language is difficult to learn in only 30 minutes a week. The assignment folder will help both students and parents know what is expected. Current students may visit the Studio Info page for more thoughts on piano practice.
- Use of a metronome is required for all levels, to develop good beat and rhythm skills. A metronome can be purchased at a reasonable price, or the student may utilize a metronome app or online site for free.
- Recitals are held in December and May. All students, regardless of level, are asked to participate. The recital is a relaxed event and intended to promote the joys of sharing music with others and taking pride in our accomplishments.
