TUITION:
Monthly tuition is due the last week of the month for
the upcoming month. Payments
may be made in cash or by personal check, payable to your instructor. Credit card and PayPal payments may
also be made securely online by clicking any of the "Buy Now" buttons on this page. If
you are unable to attend your lesson during the last week of the month, please mail your tuition check to your instructor
or pay online by credit card or PayPal before the first of the month. Tuition is non-refundable.
ATTENDANCE:
Consistency is very important in the study of music. Regular attendance at your weekly lessons
and practicing between lessons is crucial to your development as an artist. We require 24-hours’
notice to cancel lessons. If less than 24-hours’ notice is provided, students will be charged
for the missed lesson. Students who cancel lessons often, even with the 24-hour notice, may be charged
a $10/hour cancellation fee.
ILLNESS:
In consideration for the instructor and others, students should not
attend lessons when ill. Please notify your instructor as early as possible if you must miss a
lesson due to illness. 24-hours’ notice is preferable, but when this is not possible due to sudden
onset of illness, please call first thing in the morning on the day of your lesson if you must cancel.
DISCONTINUING LESSONS:
A minimum of two-weeks’ notice is required to discontinue lessons. If less than two weeks’ notice is given, the student will be charged the tuition
fee for two additional lessons. Tuition fees are non-refundable.
MATERIALS:
Voice students should bring a blank cassette tape, a 3-ring binder, and a pencil with
them to each lesson. Your instructor will give you music and study materials to keep in your binder, and
will make an audio-tape of your vocal exercises and songs during your lesson. These are your best tools
to use for practicing between lessons.
Instrumental students will be issued books, which are yours to keep. The cost of
these books will be added to your tuition. Please bring your music books to each lesson.

Students and parents are asked to understand that, because
all of the instructors continue to be active performers, occasionally scheduling conflicts arise, making it necessary to re-schedule
or suspend lessons for a short time. In these cases, ample notice will be provided, and every effort will
be made to offer make-up lessons.
