All of our young beginners start in an Intro Class. These classes are a month long.

After an Intro Class, students move on to a Group Class. These classes are on going. Beginners are in a group class for about a year.

After Group Class students move on to Private lessons. Private lessons are on going.

We recommend for older beginners or intermediate students, that they start with Private Lessons.

Please start by filling out our enrollment form.  If you have any questions please contact us.

Tuition includes one lesson a week, with the exception of holidays. Tuition is based on 48 lessons per year and has already been pro-rated to reflect the 3 weeks a year we are closed and the other closures for holidays.

You are not paying for lessons when we are closed since lessons are based off 48 lessons per year.

Some months will have 5 lessons, and others may have less due to holidays and closures. Tuition is fixed and remains the same regardless if it is a 5 week month, or less. We do not charge more for months with extra weeks. If payment is not received on your billing date, your spot may be given away to another student on our waiting list.

Tuition is not adjusted for missed or canceled lessons. No partial refunds will be given. Any credits can be gifted to friends and family.

All credits expire in 30 days.

We have a yearly registration fee of $55.

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:
We will always offer a make up time if the availability exists. Please give 24 hour notice if you can not make it to your regular scheduled lesson. If notice is given 24 hours in advance, you will receive a credit to schedule a make up lesson. Credit expires in 30 days.

Group Class/Rock Band/Lil' Rockers/Lil Mozarts: If 24 hour notice is given for a canceled class, students will be issued a credit. Students may use this credit to attend any other group class as a make up, if availability exists. If less than 24 hour notice is given, you may attend the monthly group make up class. No credit is needed for the monthly group make up class. Credits expires in 30 days.

Monthly Group Make Up Class:
This is an hour long group make up class that happens on the last Saturday of every month. Anyone can attend this class for any reason. You must reserve your spot. Spots are limited.

If you cancel your lesson with less than 24 hour notice, you can attend the monthly group make up class with out credits. There is no limit to how many monthly group make ups classes you can attend. Simply notify the front desk that you would like to attend the next monthly group make up class.

A 60 minute private 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.

A 60 minute private lesson may be split between siblings as well.

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.
