Studio Policies at a Glance
Tuition & Materials
Tuition is calculated over the 9-month school year and separately over the 3 months of summer and is payable in equal monthly installments. Tuition is a flat rate and remains the same regardless the number of lessons available each month (ex. December has only two lessons). Tuition not paid by the 7th of each month will incur a late fee. Students are responsible for the cost of all books and lesson materials.
Attendance
A student who does not attend a lesson misses the benefit of that lesson. Your tuition reserves your time in the schedule and benefits within the studio. No make ups or credits are offered when a student cancels his/her lesson. Several group classes are offered throughout the year as an opportunity to make up lost time. Students are expected to attend during the summer.
Practice
Sufficient practice is required (typically a minimum of 5 days a week). Parents are expected to assist and encourage regular quality practice and to make lesson and practice time a priority in their student’s schedule. Younger and beginning students do need parental guidance.
Expectations
Since this is a travel studio, please ensure a constructive teaching environment—free of distraction and interruption—is available. Please block out a window of 10 minutes on each side of your student’s lesson to accommodate travel fluctuations in the schedule.
Students are required to have a full sized 88-key keyboard with weighted keys and damper pedal or acoustic piano (preferred).
Students are expected to be prepared with all of their lesson materials ready to go. Students are expected to have clean hands, trimmed nails and an attitude ready for learning. No food or gum is allowed during lessons. Be sure to finish any meals or snacks prior to the lesson.
Students are expected to participate in studio recitals and are strongly encouraged to participate in outside opportunities when ready.
Dismissal
Consistent overdue tuition, unpaid absences, inadequate teaching environment, failure to practice or consistent disrespect or a poor attitude will result in dismissal from the studio. Please provide one month’s notice for discontinuance. Paid months will not be refunded.
