Enrollment Policy

Students are required to attend weekly lessons. If a student needs to skip a lesson, she or he must give a 24-hour notice. Students who would like to withdraw from the studio must give a 2-week notice.

There is no minimum number of lessons, but everyone is encouraged to attend at least 35 lessons a year.

The studio reserves the right to terminate enrollment for any reason.

Tuition & Payment
Individual Lessons:  $65 / 30 min., $88 / 45 min., $110 / 1 hour

Annual Registration Fee: $100

Invoices will be prepared at the end of every month based on the number of lessons attended. Tuitions are due upon receipt of invoices.

Holidays:

There will not be lessons on national holidays and regular school breaks (please give the studio a 2-week notice). If students wish to have lessons during these times, please make arrangement with the studio.

Student Attendance & Absence

Students are expected to arrive for lessons on time. Out of respect for other students, lessons will finish on time. A 24-hour cancellation notice is mandatory.

Sick Policy

To prevent the transmission of communicable diseases, no lesson will be given to students showing any signs of illness, and family members with cold and flu symptoms may not enter the studio. It is to everyone’s best interest that students with illness stay home and rest.

Withdrawal

Students who wish to withdraw from the studio must provide a 2-week written notice (emails accepted).

Teacher Absence

The teacher reserves the right to cancel lessons due to personal reasons or professional performance engagements.

“No Food” Policy

Please keep food and drinks out of the music studio, and the students must wash their hands before their lessons. There is absolutely no exception!

Practice

Students are expected to practice 5 days a week, and at least 30 minutes a day.  Practice time should be lengthened to 1 hour a day or more as the student’s level become more advanced. The time spent doing theory homework should not be counted as practice time.

Recitals

There are two recitals (online or in-person) a year.  Students are required to attend both recitals and perform assigned pieces.

Concert / Outside Performance Attendance

Students are encouraged to attend live concerts and listen to and/or watch professional performances on streaming and recorded media.

Office Hours

The teacher might be unable to discuss students’ progress with parents before or after the lesson if other students have lessons at that time.  Parents may call or email if they have concerns or questions.
