Tuition Policy
Tuition is determined by the number of lessons you take per week and the length of each lesson.
Billing is issued every eight weeks and sent via email.
If a student signs up in the middle of the billing cycle, their tuition will be prorated.
If you wish to withdraw from lessons, you may do so at the end of any billing cycle. Once lessons are officially terminated, no further tuition payments will be required. However, please note that withdrawing will result in forfeiting your reserved spot on the school’s schedule.
Please pay your tuition by the FIRST DAY of each billing cycle to take lessons.
A late fee of $50 will be added to the bill if tuition is late.

Missed Lessons Policy
At our school, we believe that regular practice and consistent attendance are key to your musical success. To support your progress, we’ve developed a missed lessons policy that ensures you stay on track, even if you can’t make it to a session.
Notification Requirements:
If you need to miss a lesson, please notify your instructor at least 24 hours in advance. This will excuse your absence and help maintain your progress.
In the case of illness or emergency on the day of the lesson, we kindly ask that you notify your instructor at least 3 hours prior to the lesson so that the absence can be marked as excused.
Absence Limits:
One lesson per week: A maximum of three excused absences are allowed during the school year.
Two lessons per week: A maximum of six excused absences are allowed during the school year.
These guidelines ensure that students have the flexibility they need while maintaining the importance of regular attendance.
Make-Up Lessons:
End-of-year make-up sessions are available for students to make up missed lessons.
Holidays: Lessons that fall on Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, or Memorial Day will be rescheduled by your instructor.
Instructor Cancellations: If your instructor needs to cancel a lesson, they will reschedule the lesson as soon as possible, in addition to the allowed number of make-up lessons.
Summer Semester: Students may make up one lesson per semester for those attending one lesson per week, and two lessons per semester for those attending two lessons per week.
Refunds and Credits:
Please note, we do not offer refunds, credits, or discounts for missed lessons.
