STUDIO POLICY
The
tuition announced for the current year is payable monthly and in advance.
Students also have the option to sign up for six-months paid in advance, at
reduced rates. As a service for students, some materials may be procured by
the studio. The charges for these materials will be included in the monthly
tuition statement and are payable with the tuition payment. Every effort will
be made to email invoices prior to the first of each month. However,
it is the responsibility of the student and / or parent to make sure that
payments are made at the first lesson of each month. Please be advised
that no lesson will be taught that has not been paid for. Payments are due
prior to the first lesson of the month, no exceptions. All accounts not
paid in full by the 15th of every month will be assessed a $10 late
fee.
LESSON
ATTENDANCE
Students
are expected to maintain a regular pattern of attendance regardless of
preparation. On occasion, I will offer a make-up day for the month,
usually on the last Saturday of that month. Make-ups are offered as a COURTESY
ONLY and are not guaranteed. Please understand that I will not be able to accommodate
all students who request a make-up every month. I give make-ups on my own time
and am not compensated for that time. Your monthly tuition pays for your time
slot and does not entitle you to a make-up. Open slots on that day will be
given on a first-come-first-serve basis, so please notify me as soon as
possible if you will be missing a lesson. If the Saturday slots are
full, I will not be offering another day. No call / No shows will not be
refunded. Students who arrive late for their scheduled lesson time will have
what time remains. I reserve the right to cancel a make-up day at any time,
for any reason.
RECITALS
One
to two Studio Recitals will be scheduled during the year, and all students are
expected to participate. Specific time and place will be announced a month
prior to the event. Other events and performance opportunities may also be
offered throughout the year.
There
will be a small fee for students to be involved in recitals and other events.
The fee will be $15 per family. As all students are expected to
participate in the recitals, all families will be charged the fee at the
time I schedule the recital hall, approximately 6 months in advance of the
recital. The $15 fee will appear on your invoice along with information
on the scheduled event. All activity fees are non-refundable.
Each family will be charged $15, regardless of how many students are enrolled
in piano.
