Monthly: Lessons are paid for monthly at the first lesson of the month.
30 min = $112 |
1 hour = $196 |
1.5 hours = $290 |
2 hours = $380 |
Since I offer a monthly rate, there is the opportunity to gain free lessons throughout the year--Pay for 4 lessons each month on the 1st lesson of the month . . .even when there are 5 lesson days that month! (Students who start mid-month are pro-rated for the number of lessons left that month. Since there will occasionally be a "free" lesson, no make-ups or refunds are given when a student cancels a lesson. This also means that if you leave for multi-week vacations, you are responsible for paying the regular monthly fee. Should I need to cancel a lesson, there is no charge for that lesson.
These monthly fees reserve a weekly time slot which works like rent one would pay for an apartment. These are flat fees to reserve your, or your child's, weekly time for lessons, whether you choose to attend or miss. Fees are charged by the month, and are not lowered nor refunded for missed lessons. Please bear in mind that, during the year, some months will contain an extra week for which there is no additional charge. It is highly recommended that you attend regularly during these months, helping you to compensate for any lesson(s) you may have missed during the year.
Weekly: Lessons are paid for at each lesson. Cash only.
30 min = $30 |
1 hour = $55 |
1.5 hours = $85 |
2 hours = $100 |
Unlike the monthly payments, you do not have to pay for missed lessons. I just ask that you do not cancel often; I have scheduled you and only you for that time slot, and I do not have the opportunity to teach extra students during that time. If two lessons in a row are missed, the time slot becomes open. If this happens, please contact me before we have another lesson to find an appropriate time.
SUMMER
MONTHS
Piano lessons continue as usual during the summer months. This is a private piano studio, and does not follow any type of "academic shool year". If you and/or your family will be out of town at any time during the summer, please let me know well in advance so that I may adjust my teaching schedule.
If a student will be taking the entire summer off, such student's time slot may be reserved by paying for the time slot in full and in advance. Nevertheless, the time slot will need to be filled unless the full fee is paid to reserve the time slot until the fall.
Cancellations:
If you need to cancel the lesson, please contact me by phone.
