Studio Policies
The 2022-23 Studio Policies can be seen in their entirety here
​
Tuition and Billing
-
Tuition holds your weekly time slot in my teaching schedule throughout the year and is required regardless of attendance.
-
I will count the number of lessons throughout the year and multiply this by your hourly rate. Your monthly tuition will be an average monthly bill based on that number. I bill from mid-August through the end of May, and summer lessons will be billed separately.
-
I will charge a $5 fee for each week that tuition is late. After two unpaid lessons, I will cease lessons until payment is received.
-
24-hour notice is required for lesson cancellation unless for illness, family emergency, or inclement weather. Make-ups will be given at my discretion. Any lessons that I need to change will be given make-up time later in the semester. Any no-shows or less than 24-hour notice will be billed as normal. Zoom lessons are strongly encouraged for lessons missed due to sickness.
-
A studio fee of $25 which includes access to recital venues, photocopying, and other supplies used in students' lessons will be billed once a year in September.
​
Schedule
-
Weekly lessons are required from mid-August through the end of May. We will discuss each family's schedule with school breaks, family vacations, and other conflicts and find a schedule that works for you.
-
Year-round study is very important for continued progress. I require families to continue their studies during the summer. It is much more relaxed during the summer and I will work around family vacations, conflicts, summer camps, etc. Expect between 2-4 lessons a month during the months of June-August. ​
Recitals
-
There will be at least 2 scheduled studio recitals during the regular school year.
-
Pianist fees will be split amongst the performers for both required rehearsal and concert.
