Studio Policies 2025-2026

Tuition

Tuition for the fall and spring semesters is charged in four monthly payments. Beginning in fall 2025, semester tuition will be $720. Four monthly payments will be $180 each.

Each semester includes 17 30-minute lessons, a recital (virtual in the fall, live in the spring). There are no recital fees. Parents are asked to purchase the method books assigned to their student.

The per-lesson fee is $45, so the tuition charged covers 16 lessons and not 17. I provide the 17th lesson for free, to cover me in the invent that I need to cancel a lesson for any reason.

Makeup Lessons

Illness happens, so I offer a makeup lesson on one Friday afternoon each month. These are offered as a courtesy, and I can’t guarantee a slot for every student who is eligible for one.

• Students whose parents let me know within a reasonable time frame that they will be missing a lesson are eligible for a makeup lesson.

• No call/no show lessons are not eligible for makeup.

• Each student is limited to one makeup lesson per month.

Practice

Students are expected to practice in order to reinforce what is taught in lessons.

Parents should work with their students to set a practice schedule, and enforce the schedule each week.

Students who consistently fail to practice may be dismissed from the studio.
