Note: this is an overview of the policies and is subject to change at any time. A complete and current list of policies will be discussed and signed before payment is issued and lessons begin. Click here for rates. For an overview of the lesson program, click here.

  1. There are 32 lessons (Studio Members) or 35 lessons (Studio Performers) including rehearsals with pianists given between September and May (summer lessons billed separately).

  2. Students may pay for these lessons by school year, semester, or monthly. Once paid for, no refunds will be offered regardless of the student’s ability to attend the lessons.

  3. Students are responsible for their absences and tardiness. This means that if a student misses a lesson or is late, it is not the teacher’s obligation or responsibility to make up the missed time. If adequate advance notice is given and in some rare circumstances, the teacher may offer a make up lesson based solely upon her discretion and availability.

  4. The teacher is responsible for her absences and tardiness. This means that if the teacher is late, she will make up the missed time, and if she needs to reschedule a lesson she will do so.

  5. Studio Class and Performance Class (up to 2 each per school year) are included for Studio Performers, charged at the time of event for Studio Members. Recitals (2 per year) are included in the cost for both.

  6. The teacher may terminate lessons at any time for any reason and will refund any remaining lessons if so.

  7. Any fee outside of attendance at studio lessons, studio class, performance class, or recitals such as but not limited to paying an accompanist, entrance fees to auditions/festivals/competitions, etc, are not included in lesson costs and are the responsibility of the student to pay.

PRORATING: Payment for Studio Members and Studio Performers are a flat rate - they are not based on the number of lessons received. Therefore, if signing up after the beginning of the year/semester, only the first month will be pro-rated and semester or full year installments adjusted accordingly.
