Tuition

Please call for tuition rate information.

Sheet Music Deposit and Studio Fee

Students are required to make a $60 deposit when beginning lessons.  $10 of this is a yearly studio fee (nonrefundable); the other $50 will be used for sheet music and miscellaneous fees, such as $4 for Piano Explorer subscription.  When the account is depleted, students will be asked to deposit another $50.  Any unused monies will be refunded when the student terminates lessons.

Missed Lessons Policy

There will be no refunds for missed lessons.  There is one make-up lesson allowed per month, if I am notified in advance that the student cannot make it to the lesson. I ask that I be notified as soon as possible, so that I can readjust my schedule.  If I have to miss a lesson and we cannot work out a make-up time, credit will be given towards the next month's tuition.  As a courtesy, I ask that I be notified 30 days in advance of lesson termination, or pay one month's tuition.
