How tuition works

What sets tuition

Tuition depends on the length of the lesson, whether it is private or in a group, and the teacher. We give you the figures in writing at the placement visit, and you decide after that.

Registration

A yearly registration opens the student's file and covers the placement visit and the scheduling of a weekly time. It is due when you accept a time with a teacher.

Billing

Lessons are billed monthly, and the plan covers the whole session whether or not every week is used. You can pay by autopay or at the front desk.

Siblings

A second student from the same family is handled differently, and we explain how at the placement visit.

Withdrawing

We ask for a month's notice before a student stops, and the month in progress is billed as usual.

Missed classes and make-ups

A lesson a student misses is made up when the teacher has a time, if you tell us a day ahead. A lesson the teacher cancels is always made up. Group classes are not made up.

Music books, instruments and other extras

A piano or keyboard to practice on, music books and recital extras are separate. Ask your teacher before you buy or rent anything, and we will say what to look for.
