HOW TO SIGN UP

Begin your musical adventure with a 30-minute introductory lesson for $48.
Securing your weekly time slot is easy: simply pay a $25 registration fee, prorated monthly tuition, and a method book fee (usually between $15 and $30), as advised by your instructor, and you're all set.

MISSED LESSONS

Your teacher dedicates time each week to your lesson, and missed lessons result in lost time for them. If you're feeling unwell, please stay home. Rescheduling lessons can be challenging due to our full teaching schedules, but you can always choose the option of a remote lesson if you can't make it in person.

HOME PRACTICE

To ensure successful lessons, it's important to practice and have a working instrument at home. If you need assistance finding one within your budget, we're happy to help!

DISCONTINUATION

We kindly ask for one month's notice if you wish to discontinue lessons. Without a withdrawal notice, you'll remain enrolled and billed accordingly. Please note that we may need to part ways with students who frequently miss payments or have ongoing disciplinary issues.

PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES

We provide various opportunities for students to showcase their talents, including recitals, masterclasses, local competitions, virtual pre-recorded recitals, and remote exams through the RCM program. Additionally, we encourage students to share their performances on our Facebook page at any time!

SNOW DAYS/VACATION/SUMMER

We typically remain open during vacations and snow days, except for major holidays, due to the roads being cleared by the afternoon. However, in case of bad weather, we offer remote lessons. During the summer, students are welcome to take up to two weeks off without charge to maintain their lesson time slot.
