In-Studio: 60 Minutes Private Class

TUITION/ PAYMENT

Students are on a month-to-month contract. Tuition for the month is due in full the first week of every month by check, credit card, or cash. Payment must be made for the entire month in advance to reserve your guaranteed lesson time for the upcoming weeks. There is a $5 late fee for each week that tuition is not received. If payment is not received by the third week of the month, lessons will be temporarily suspended until all charges and fees are resolved.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Cancellations must be given at least 24 hours in advance to receive a make-up lesson that is to be taken within the month of the cancellation. If the parent/student fails to comply with the 24-hour cancellation policy, the lesson will be considered a loss for the student and the studio is not obligated to refund or reschedule the lesson.

In the event of an allowed make-up, parents will be given reasonable notice of a possible make-up time; however, if the student’s schedule does not permit for the make-up lesson, the lesson is a forfeit. Credits will be made for emergencies and extenuating circumstances only and at the discretion of the studio. If the instructor is unable to attend a lesson you will be given sufficient notice and either a credit or make-up lesson.

If for some reason, you the parent must conclude lessons entirely, we require a two-week notice in order to end our lessons in a positive manner. We will not be able to provide credits or refunds for the remaining weeks of our monthly contract.

TARDINESS

Students are expected to arrive on time. The studio will allow a window of 15 minutes. After the allowed time, the lesson is lost and no make-up will be given. We cannot offer a full class time if students arrive late due to our studio schedule. Exceptions will be made for weather and extenuating circumstances only.

SCHEDULE REQUEST

Please be courteous of the instructors’ schedules and of other families in requesting frequent changes to the schedule. We will do our best to accommodate everyone, however, most lessons occur during a very limited amount of hours after school and are at times very difficult to reschedule.

RECITAL PARTICIPATION

Student participation in piano recitals is encouraged and will assist the student in setting future goals. Two major recitals are given each year during the winter and spring months. Students will be invited to perform during each recital contingent upon consistent practice. Students are also required to perform a piece of their choice at the beginning of each class. At the end of the class, students will perform another short piece learned during each week’s class time.

OTHER MUSICAL PARTICIPATION

Competitions, festivals and achievement days are available to all students in our studio. Suggested participation in these events may depend on the student’s level of progress, involvement and dedication to practice.

LESSON SUPPLIES

We provide materials including sheet music, theory worksheet, and lab access to our students at no extra charge. However, students are required to bring a binder to collect all lesson materials, including sheet music, theory worksheets, and teacher comment chart for weekly review. Students perform best when reviewing weekly instructions and individual comments so please make sure to bring your binder each week to class.

PARENT EXPECTATIONS

Parents/guardians of young children are welcome and encouraged to join and participate in each lesson when at all possible. The involvement of each parent is necessary to ensure that the student may enjoy the piano within a healthy musical atmosphere. Regular practice outside of the classroom is essential for musical progress. Supervised and constructive practice time spent between the parent and student daily is necessary for the progress of the student. Parents of young children or beginning students are required to set aside 15-20 minutes per day at least five days a week. A signature will be required in the box (attached to each lesson packet) for each day the student has practiced. Failure to practice regularly will result in a warning. If a student goes two weeks without regular practice, the student will be dismissed from classes without a refund.

Parents/guardians of older children are asked to assist their child by assigning a regular practice schedule at home. They will be asked to check their assignment notebook regularly to ensure that all aspects of their studies have been practiced. Parents may be asked to discuss and listen to their child’s weekly assignments the day before their scheduled lesson. Upon completion of the child’s weekly demonstration for their parent, the parent will be asked to sign the assignment book. Consistent practice time is a must in seeking progress.
