Financial Obligations

 

New students pay a one-time enrollment fee of fifteen dollars per student plus lesson fees and fees for materials.  Current private lesson fees are $15 per 30 minutes of lesson time or $30 an hour.  Minimum lesson time per lesson is 30 minutes with longer lessons advised and possible.

 

Enrollment is for the season: summer (June, July, August), fall semester (September through December), and spring semester (January through May) with monthly payments due on or before the first of the month. Students entering after the first of a season will pay prorated lesson fees that reflect only the fees from when they enrolled. Late payment will result in late fees for each week the payments are late.

 

There is NO FINANCIAL CREDIT for missed lessons unless they are canceled by the instructor and no make-up lesson is possible.  Call as soon as possible when it is necessary to miss a lesson so that it can be rescheduled if possible.  Students discontinuing lessons must inform the instructor before the next payment is due or they will be obligated to pay for that next month as well.

 

Students may choose private lessons, semi-private instruction or classes, depending on the classes available.  When class enrollment falls below the number needed for a class, private lesson prices go into effect. 

 

Referral Credit:  For each new student enrolling  through the recommendation of a current student, the referring student will receive a $5.00 credit toward the next months's lesson fees.
