The studio
year consists of forty weeks of lessons, from mid-August through
mid-July. Tuition is paid in six installments, due the first
day of August, October, December, February, April, and June.
Payments received after the fifth day of the month will be charged a
$10.00 late fee.
Families enrolling in the program make a commitment to complete the
full 2007-08 year. This is important for the student as well
as for the continuity of the program. Some periods
between payments will have fewer lessons in them and some will have more.
The payments have been evenly divided over the year for your
convenience.
Tuition
rates are all-inclusive: in addition to the weekly private lesson
and computer lab (when appropriate), they include registration fee,
group classes, and recitals, as well as incidentals such as
assignment notebooks, forms, photocopies, and graduation awards.
Lessons
missed by the teacher will be made up. Lessons missed by the
student during the school year are not usually able to be made up.

Parents
may use the swap list to try to switch lessons with another family,
and then notify the teacher of any changes. If you do have to miss a
lesson, please contact the studio as soon as you know; if there is
an opening that week caused by another student’s cancellation, you
will be contacted and offered the other time. If you do not
receive a call, then no make-up is available and you should just
come to your lesson the following week.
The lesson schedule during the summer is more flexible than during
the school year. At the beginning of the summer, students
notify the teacher of their vacation plans and lessons that will be
missed can typically be rescheduled to a different week.
Families who will be gone for extended periods in the summer should
give more advanced notice so that adequate plans can be made.
Tuition is always due for the full studio year.
Students
should always come to lessons, regardless of the amount of preparation
that week. Lesson time, however, may be somewhat shorter if the
amount of material does not warrant a full lesson time or, in the case
of young children, a longer lesson is unnecessary or counterproductive. |
