Tuition
We charge an all-inclusive, monthly flat rate tuition. This will be the same rate each month with an average of 4 lessons per month. This rate will apply to 12 months of the year, divided between two semesters, towards 45 weekly lessons.
What does my tuition cover?
Tuition at our studio covers:
- A weekly reserved time slot with your teacher
- Four quarterly Make-Up Weeks annually (make-up up to four missed lessons per year)
- Weekly lesson planning time for your teacher to spend prepping specifically for your lesson so you get the best quality instruction available
- Administrative support from our remote and in-person admin staff
- A clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment to take your lessons
- Two recitals and two group workshops per year
- Clear and consistent communication from our staff
What is the cost of tuition and when is it due?
Monthly Tuition for:- 30 minute lessons = $165/month
- 45 minute lessons = $200/month
- 60 minute lessons = $250/month
- 45 minute Accelerated Piano Program group lessons = $140/month
Monthly tuition is due the 1st of each month. If tuition is not paid by the end of the 7th day from when the invoice was received, a $20 late fee will be incurred, and lessons will be suspended until your account is brought current.
Are there make up lessons if our lesson lands on a holiday or we can’t make it to our lesson?
We will not be offering make-up lessons unless your lesson lands on a holiday, BUT we will have four quarterly Make-Up Weeks where you will be able to make-up up to four missed lessons. These make-up weeks will take place in September, December, March, and June.
We also offer any in-person lessons to be switch to online for FREE! (We require at least two hours notice to make this change.)
Group lesson students may join another group within the same week to make up a missed lesson, pending availability in other groups. (Contact the studio / front desk prior to inquire about availability.)
What happens if my teacher is sick or cancels?
We will offer a substitute teacher or reschedule the lesson in this event.
Do you offer any discounts?
AutoPay: We offer a discount for any families who choose to pay monthly that sign up for AutoPay – $10 off per month that you are enrolled in AutoPay!
Full Semester Payments: We also offer a 8% discount off of full semester payments if you opt to pay for the whole semester as opposed to monthly payments.
Do I need to commit to an entire semester, or can my lessons be month-to-month?
All of our lessons are scheduled on a month-to-month basis. All we ask is that if you wish to stop lessons, you must let us know before invoices go out on the 1st of the month so we can remove you from the schedule. Otherwise, you will be responsible for paying for that month of lessons.
If I start or stop lessons in the middle of a month, is that month prorated?
If you start lessons after the middle of the month, we will prorate that first month.
Students are encouraged to stick with lessons for the duration of the semester. We do require you notify us if you will be pausing/stopping lessons before your invoice goes out on the 1st of the month. If you do not let us know before the 1st of the month, you are still responsible to pay the invoice for that month. We do not offer refunds.
What is your semester schedule?
We operate on a two-semester schedule, consisting of 45 total weeks. Below are the rough dates for these semesters:
Fall Semester: July - December
- 2 Make Up Weeks: end of September + mid December
- Off all of Thanksgiving week and two weeks off for Christmas and New Years
Spring Semester: January - June
- 2 Make Up Weeks: end of March + end of June
