MATERIALS / REGISTRATION FEE
The $25.00 non-refundable materials fee covers the cost of music and theory books, cd projects, and additional materials (music assignment books, note-reading flashcards, xeroxed hand-outs, etc). As additional materials are required, I make purchases and apply the amount to the remaining balance. If any purchase amount exceeds the materials fee, I will discuss and approve further purchases with you. (This usually happens only in the case of a student who is advancing at a rapid pace.)
I am open to using previously purchased music, provided that I feel it addresses the needs of the student. Feel free to bring in music for me to look at so that we can arrive at a solution that meets the needs of everyone involved. Students using their own music are still required to pay the materials fee each semester.
THE STUDENT CONTRACT
Please read the student contract carefully, sign and return it to me. I will sign the contract, keep the original and provide you with a copy. Please feel free to speak with me if you have questions regarding the contract.
TUITION – FALL SEMESTER 2023 -- All Students Ages 5 - 18
Lessons are scheduled to begin Tuesday, September 5, 2023 and will run through Wednesday, December 13, 2023, for a total of 13-15 lessons. Please see the calendar for specific dates/weeks of lesson breaks.
LATE FEES
The student contract states that no lesson will be taught without payment. I try to be as flexible as possible to cover contingencies; however, the following late fees will now be assessed for any late payments:
Weekly Payments – Payments received up to one week late will be assessed a late fee of $7.50, after which a late fee of $15.00 will be assessed. Payments later than one week must be brought current before regular lessons will be resumed and may result in the loss of the scheduled lesson time slot.
Monthly Payments – Payments received after the 10th day of each month will be assessed a late fee of $15.00.
MAKE-UP LESSONS
Lessons missed by the student must be made up no later than the week following the week of the missed lesson. No more than one lesson missed by the student, for any reason, will be made up. No lessons will be made up after the end of the semester.
Please feel free to discuss the possibility of permanently changing a scheduled lesson time if you find it conflicts with other activities. All requests for schedule changes, weekly or permanently, are based upon my availability.
Full lesson payment is charged if you are away on vacation during a regularly scheduled lesson time during the semester. This payment will ensure that your lesson time is held for you.
Any lessons I must miss or reschedule will be made up. If I must cancel a lesson, arrangements will be made to reschedule the lesson during the week, or the week following the missed lesson. In the event of snow days that cause the cancellation of school, I will contact everyone by telephone to confirm that lessons that day will either be taught or cancelled.
FEDERAL HOLIDAYS and SCHOOL IN-SERVICE DAYS
Lessons will be held on all Monday holidays unless otherwise noted. Lessons will be held on state holidays and school in-service days unless otherwise noted.
CHANGES OF ADDRESS / TELEPHONE / E-MAIL / CREDIT CARD
Please be sure to keep me up to date regarding your current home address, your home and work telephone numbers, your e-mail address and your credit card number. This is imperative, especially during the winter months, when I will be contacting you regarding any weather-related schedule confirmations or announcements.
