Studio Policy

Effective: January 1, 2015

Tuition

Tuition for private lessons is charged on a monthly basis. Invoices will be sent out via email at the end of each month. Payment is due on or before the 10th of the next month.
A $25 fee will be charged for returned checks.
Online payments options are available. Credit card payments are subject to a 3.40% + 25¢ fee. ACH bank transfers are subject to a 50¢ fee.

Attendance

Any missed lesson(s) will be charged at the full rate unless advanced notice is given at least 24 hours prior to the lesson time.
Every calendar year, each student can cancel up to 8 lessons if 24-hour advanced notice is given. Cancellations beyond the 8th lesson will be charged and no make-up lessons will be provided. This policy does not apply to lessons falling on the studio’s observed holidays (please see list below for observed holidays).
If a student is unable to give 24-hour advanced notice due to emergent illness, a make-up lesson may be arranged at the discretion of the teacher. If the student chooses not to make up the lesson, the student needs to use one of the 8 allowable cancellations to cancel the lesson.
Lessons cancelled by the teacher do not need to be made up and do not count toward the student's 8 allowable cancellations.

Practice Expectations

I believe that focus, dedication, and determination in practice will lead to rewarding experiences.

Recitals

Students will have up to 4 opportunities to participate in recitals every year. Recital fees apply and rates are subject to notice.

Exams

Piano Practical and Theory Exams are available through the Royal Conservatory Music Development Program.
