studio policy
TUITION: Piano tuition must be paid one month in advance, and is due on/or before the 1st. of each month. Don’t forget that some months have 5 classes, and the tuition will be higher when those months occur. ALL TUITION IS NON-REFUNDABLE.
LATE FEE: Payments are considered late, if they are received after the 3rd. day of each month, and you will be charged a late fee. Unless you have made arrangements with us, we will add $30 late fee to your monthly tuition, if you pay after the 3rd. of the month.
HOLIDAYS: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Other days off will be announced as necessary.
PIANO PRACTICE: Students are expected to practice a minimum of 30 minutes daily. If you wish to progress more quickly, the student should plan on one hour daily. Eventually, you will need to practice a minimum of 1 hour daily.
RECITALS: The Studio requires students (under age 18) to pay for and attend a minimum of two recitals each year.
RETURNED CHECKS: We charge a $35 fee for returned checks regardless of the reason.
INCREASE IN TUITION: Tuition fees are subject to an annual increase of 5%, upon 30 days written notice to Student.
MISSED OR MAKE UP CLASSES: Activities such as: family vacations, field trips, spring breaks, doctor and dentist appointments, and sports events do not qualify for a reduction in piano tuition. The tuition you pay reserves your day & time. However, if you cancel, 48 hours, before your lesson, we will try to make up the lesson.
LATE FOR LESSONS: We will wait 10 minutes for you, unless you have notified us that you are running late. Remember, if you show up late, you will only receive the remainder of your lesson time.
TO DISCONTINUE (or take a break) from lessons: A parent or adult student must inform the studio with a one month written notice before the 5th of the month, to count for that same month. A one month payment is expected whether the student attends their last month or not. For example: if you give us notice, on March 1-5, you would pay for March and end your lessons at the end of March. However, if you give us notice on March 6th, or later in the month. You would have to pay for March and April, even if you don’t attend any lessons. Phone calls, and text messages will not be accepted as a form of withdrawal, or break.
DUE TO COVID-19, ONLY THE STUDENT IS ALLOWED TO ENTER OUR MUSIC STUDIO. PARENTS, SIBLINGS, OR GUARDIAN ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE STUDIO.
PROBATION: A 30 day probation will be given for any of the following reasons: Paying your tuition late, not being prepared at the lessons, not showing improvement, not willing to try my suggestions, poor attendance, not bringing books & materials, not attending recitals, behaving poorly, or disrespectful, in the wait area and/or piano lesson.
TERMINATION: The Studio may also terminate lessons for any reason, at the sole discretion of the studio. If the Studio terminates lessons, TUITION WILL NOT BE REFUNDED.
