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.
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.
