That this is the price for  a small group of 4-6 students for 10 weeks of 30 minute lessons.

Tuition does not include required materials, which need to be purchased separately by each student. See “Required Materials” section in the right hand column.

After the initial 10 weeks:

  • The class will have the option to continue with a new and longer enrollment period
  • For the continuation, if the class size changes, or the duration of the class increases, the rates will change accordingly.
  • We are a music school and after the 10 week initial period is completed, we move students over to longer term enrollments that include annual performance events.
    • Longer courses move to a monthly payment plan where the total tuition for the term is divided into equal monthly payments. Since there are different numbers of Mondays, Tuesdays, etc. in each term, we will wait to quote this total tuition until we know the start and end dates of the enrollment period. Our per class rates can be found here. More details on terms and Events can be found here.
