Payment Terms |
Monthly tuition is non-refundable and due the first lesson of each month. A detailed invoice will be sent home with the student a week prior to each new month. Any returned checks will be charged a $15 service fee. Your payment is holding a scheduled time slot each week for a lesson. If a lesson is missed, no make-up will be available. On the occasion that I have to miss a lesson, a credit will be given for the following month. |
||||
Late Fees and Non-Payment |
A late fee of $5.00 per week will be added after the 2nd week of non-payment. If no payment is received after 4 weeks, the student will no longer receive lessons until the situation is resolved. |
||||
Vacations and Holidays |
If notified in advance, payment will not have to be made for missed lessons due to family vacations (such as Spring Break & during the summer months). I also do not charge for lessons that occur on or during major holidays (Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day). I do teach on all other holidays, whether kids have school that day or not (such as Presidents Day, Labor Day and Columbus Day). If students are out of school on a lesson day, I give the option to have the lesson in the morning, if desired. If you are not sure whether I am teaching on a certain day or not, please refer to the online music studio calendar. |

Cost of Lesson Materials |
Lesson materials such as method books and enrichment supplements will be received during lessons and a payment invoice for these materials will be sent home on the day that they are given. This will help alleviate shopping stress & confusion for the parents, and will be provided tax-free. Most books range from $4.95 to $8.95 each. Students will generally be working in 4 books at a time. |

Cost of Recitals |
Good News! There are no additional fees for the annual Spring and Fall Recitals or the awards. |
