TUITION
Our piano year is twelve months long, from June to May. Tuition includes 6 private lessons during the summer and 32 private lessons during the school year, sightreading book loans, recital and group class participation, holiday and celebration recital music. All other materials and registration for outside events and competitions is not included in tuition.
Annual tuition is divided into 12 equal payments for convenience, and is not a per-lesson charge. The tuition payment schedule listed below is for students beginning in June or July. If you begin lessons after the summer months, the monthly rate will be higher as as a result of prorating.
A $40 registration fee is due for new students and will include needed materials.

A LA CARTE LESSONS
Sometimes students become too busy for regularly scheduled lessons, but would like to have a lesson periodically. A la carte lessons allow students to take a lesson when it fits into his or her schedule or to work on a project piece. Lessons may be paid for individually or may be purchased in a package of four lessons.
A la carte lessons will be scheduled according to my convenience, and students may reschedule for any reason with 24 hours notice. Day of cancellation (for reasons other than emergencies or sudden illness) and no-shows will forfeit the lesson cost. Packages expire 6 months from purchase date.
