Please start by filling out our enrollment form which once completed will lead you to our student contract. Once we receive both completed forms we will email you to see what day and time works best for your schedule. If you have any questions please contact us 747-200-5772 info@tiffanymusicacademy.com
Tuition is billed automatically on the same day of every month to the card we have saved on file. This will secure your time on your teacher’s schedule. Monthly tuition generally covers 4 lessons a month and the tuition rate is the same regardless of the number of weeks in a month. Some holiday months will have 3 weeks of lessons and some will have 5 weeks.
Tuition is not adjusted for missed or canceled lessons.
We have a yearly registration fee of $55 which covers admin costs. You will be charged once a year on the same date.
Teachers never handle payment or scheduling. This is always handled by the studio.
We recommend lessons once a week for most students. For accelerated students or those preparing for an upcoming performance who may need some extra time, we are happy to add an additional lesson per week.
MISSED OR CANCELED LESSONS?
We encourage our students to stay consistent with lessons each week. This is both beneficial for the student’s progress and guarantees a spot on their teacher’s schedule. If you have a scheduling conflict or get sick, please contact us via phone, email or text and let us know you won’t make your regular scheduled lesson time.
Private Lessons
If you aren't able to make it to your scheduled lesson time, please give 24 hour notice. If 24 hour notice is given, you may schedule a make up class within two weeks of the missed lesson.
Tuition is not adjusted for missed or canceled lessons. If you are more than 30 minutes late for a hour-long lesson, or 15 minutes late for a 30-minute lesson then you forfeit that lesson. Three consecutive no notices will result in automatic termination of any further lessons.
Group & Rock Band Class
If 24 hour notice is given, you may attend any other group class, that has availability, to make up your lesson. You have two weeks from the missed lesson date to make up your missed lesson
A 60 minute lesson may be split into half, i.e. 30 minutes guitar and 30 minutes Voice. A 30 minute lesson is only enough time to go over one instrument.
Every day. We recommend you try and sit down everyday to practice, even if you only have 10 minutes. Consistency is much more important than how long you practice.
Beginners ages 4-6 10 minutes a day
Beginners ages 7-10 15 minutes a day
Intermediate students or beginner adults 20 minutes a day
Advanced students 30-60 minutes a day
Each week you will need to bring: your instrument (except for piano students) your notebook and a pencil. Notebooks are provided to the student at their first lesson and are very important to the lessons. Teachers write down all assignments, practice boxes, and use the notebooks to teach note reading.
Voice students are encouraged to bring an iPod or smartphone for recording practice and warmups. Your teacher can record your lesson for you and email it if you don’t have one.
Feel free to bring any sheet music, books or songs on a smartphone/iPod you would like to work on.
We do not give out our teacher’s personal information for privacy concerns. This policy is in place to protect our teachers from harassment or unwanted contact outside of teaching hours. If you would like an update on your child's progress and can't speak with the teacher directly, please let the front desk know and we will have the teacher email you a detailed report.
However, you may always speak with your teacher before or after your lesson if there’s anything you’d like to discuss.
If you are an in-home student, your teacher will have your phone number in case there is an issue or they cannot find your home.
We kindly ask that even though you may have your teacher’s phone number, please do not contact them outside of their teaching hours. For any questions about the schedule or payment, please contact the studio.
