​

TUITION     Please CONTACT ME for current rates.

 

FULL TERM:   September - June

Tuition includes 32 lessons for the Full Term of 10 months. 

Tuition is charged by the term, billed as 10 monthly installments.   The 10-month payment plan provides students with an easy way to evenly disburse the total cost of lessons over the term. 

Payment stays the same regardless of the number of lessons a student actually receives in a single month.   

Tuition is pro-rated when:  Students begin lessons mid-term, or change their lesson length mid-term. 

Tuition is always due before or by the 1st of each month.

 

TUITION PAYS FOR:  

• 32 Private Lessons for the Full Term (September-June)

• An exclusive weekly lesson time, reserved for the year

• Piano Performance Parties

• Group Lessons/Workshops

• Studio Recitals

• Parent-Teacher Conferences

• Student Evaluations

• Lesson enhancements with technology

​

Tuition also reflects my professional training and experience, the amount of detailed preparation I put into lesson plans, piano maintenance and studio expenses, as well as continuing education, research, and professional memberships which enhance my level of teaching and provide local, national and international opportunities for my students. 

 

INDIVIDUAL LESSON RATES      Please CONTACT ME for more information.

SUMMER TERM:  June - July - August

The number of lessons for Summer Term are determined on an individual basis, and the schedule is flexible to accommodate vacation time.
