Studio Policies
The intent of this policy statement is to encourage consistency, which is in the best interest of my students.Quarterly Schedule Lessons will be based on a quarterly calendar schedule. Hence, when you sign up for lessons, you are enrolling for a three month music school session. The quarters are as follows:
| Fall Quarter | September 1 to November 30 |
| Winter Quarter | December 1 to February 28 |
| Spring Quarter | March 1 to May 31 |
| Summer Quarter | June 1 to August 31 |
Each quarter (based on the Jeffco School Calendar) consists of at least ten lessons, allowing for those occasional and unforeseen illnesses or emergencies; however, in some quarters you will have eleven, twelve, or even fourteen lessons. If you enroll in the middle of a quarter, fees will be adjusted accordingly.
No lessons will be held on normal school holidays. Each individual lesson is one hour long (½ hour on instrument; ½ hour at computer lab). A tardy student has only the time remaining in his or her lesson slot. This is so no one will infringe upon the lesson time of another.
Rescheduling will not be possible, so please keep your appointments as often as possible.
Vacations Students vacationing from lessons for one or more months will need to submit a $30.00 non-refundable fee to reserve a spot for when you return. This $30.00 fee will be applied to your first payment upon your return. Students who expect to miss a week or more will need to communicate intentions at the beginning of the quarter, and payment will be worked out on a case by case basis.
Refunds cannot be given for lessons canceled or missed by students. Remember, tuition is based on a quarterly school schedule, reserving a specific time slot for you. Refunds or make ups will be given only in cases of a student's extended illness (two or more weeks) or for lessons missed or canceled by the teacher.
Tuition rates are based on the quarterly schedule (see below), and payment is due before or on the first scheduled lesson of each quarter. To simplify payment and record keeping, please choose from two payment options:
| Payment Options | Registration | Payment | Description | *Late Fee |
| #1 | Register for full quarter | Paid in full | Paid by check, on or before the first lesson of quarter | applies |
| #2 | Register for full quarter | Monthly installments | Monthly post-dated checks (Full tuition divided by 3, dated the first of each month), remitted on or before the first scheduled lesson of the quarter. | applies |
Quarterly Tuition for Piano: $180.00
Quarterly Tuition for Cello: $240.00
*Note: A late fee of $25.00 will be assessed for late payments unless you have communicated a problem.
