Supply & Registration Fees

A $500.00 SUPPLY FEE DEPOSIT ACCOMPANIES YEARLY REGISTRATION.

The deposit covers event entry fees, music, books, supplies, and a $50 recital/technology/library fee. Unused supply fees will be applied to the next year’s course of study. If lessons are terminated the supply fee balance will be refunded at the conclusion of the term of study or applied to the Supply Account of the student’s currently enrolled sibling.

If lessons are suspended but not terminated and the family asks that the balance remain in the Supply Account until student resumes lessons or a sibling begins lessons, then the balance remains in the family’s account until requested. If no request has been made by June 30 of that same year, and neither the student nor a sibling is currently enrolled in the studio, then the balance will not be refunded.

Registration Fee: The supply fee deposit includes a non-refundable $50 registration fee that secures student’s lesson day and time for 2024-2025. If the student declares intent to enroll but withdraws enrollment after registration and before the first lesson of any term, student’s supply fee is refunded minus the registration fee.

Policies

  • Missed Lessons

    • Weather Delays/Closings: Lessons take place in-studio or conducted virtually, depending on student preference.
    • Teacher Cancellation: Lessons always made up at the studio.
    • Student Cancellation: All missed lessons can be made up by:
      • Exchanging the lesson with another student. Lessons need not be exchanged within the same week; students can take 2 lessons in 1 week.
      • Virtual lesson when parents notify the studio by 1:00pm.
      • Parent Lesson in studio or virtually in order to coach student at home.
      • Parent conference in studio, by telephone or virtually to discuss student’s progress.
      • Illness: When a student is so sick that a virtual lesson is not possible, the student may have the opportunity make up the missed lesson. This pertains only if an opening occurs later in the schedule and only for serious injury/illness.


    All lessons must be concluded during the term in which student is currently enrolled.

  • Exchanging Lessons of Unequal Length: If lessons of unequal length are exchanged, the longer lesson loses the difference in time.

  • Group Classes: Group Classes/Recitals that must be cancelled for any reason will not be made up.

  • Communication: Short communications by email. Longer communications by telephone or during the lesson. Conferences of 25 minutes duration or longer will be counted against the duration of the next lesson.

  • Concluding Lessons: Sometimes it is clear that a student is not thriving in the program. In order that the student ends lessons gracefully it is wisest to discontinue lessons at the end of the current term. Please give 1 month’s notice to terminate lessons; otherwise student will be assessed 1 month’s tuition.
