School of Music Fees and Policies

Private lessons are $110 per month.  We charge the same amount each month, no matter the number of weeks.  Some months might have three lessons, due to a holiday, while other months might end up with five lessons.  It averages out to four lessons per month.

If a student misses a private lesson, the teacher will make up ONE lesson per semester.  If the teacher misses a lesson due to illness, vacation, etc., that lesson will always be made up.  Any student absences beyond one absence will not be made up.  You cannot skip a month of lessons and not pay. Your payment is holding your child’s spot.  We have a waiting list for lessons and every lesson, whether or not your child is present, must be paid for.

Music students may need to purchase method books, sheet music or other materials, such as music theory instructional books.  The cost is usually around $25-$40 for the year.

Students taking a private or group instrument lessons must provide their own instrument and bring it each week (except piano students).  Students taking piano will need to have access to a piano to practice at home.

Practicing at home will help each student progress more quickly.  Each instructor will discuss practice expectations with their students.

Private lesson students will participate in an annual recital during the spring semester.  This give students an opportunity to showcase their progress to friends and family.

There will be a $30 Recital Fee.  This helps cover the cost of an accompanist, faculty time, etc.
