Lesson Policy

Lesson Policy

Basics

Weekly 1/2 hour lessons are conducted at my private studio.

Tuition

There are 40 weeks of lesson per year with 12 weeks for breaks and holiday vacations. Please note the monthly tuition rate does not include those weeks on break, but covers the 40 lesson weeks only.

How tuition is calculated: Single lesson tuition rate X 40 weeks divided by 12 months. Tuition is the same amount regardless of the number of lessons in the month.

Tuition is paid on a monthly payment plan and payment is expected on the first week of each month. Tuition not received before the 2nd week of the month will be charged an extra $10 late fee. 

Cancellations by the student are not credited or refunded. 

The holiday and vacation schedule is listed on the Calendar page.

Cancellations 

If you need to cancel a lesson, please give me as much notice as possible. Makeup lessons and refunds are not available due to the nature of my teaching schedule. Any lesson canceled by me that is not part of the 12 week holiday/vacation schedule will be credited towards next month's tuition. 

Departure

When you feel it is time to discontinue lesson, please know that I require a two-week notice. All departing students should plan to finish the current month, as any remaining time will not be refunded.
