Semester Structure and Payment Details 
​The studio operates on a semester-based enrollment model designed to support consistency, clarity, and long-term sustainability.
Enrollment Terms
Enrollment is made per semester:

• Winter Semester, January–April - 
  • Parent-Teacher Conference 
  • Weekly private lessons 
  • Group Masterclass 
  • Recital 
• Summer Semester, May–August- 
  • Parent-Teacher Conference

  • Recital 
• Fall Semester, September–December-

Enrollment reserves priority weekly lesson placement within the teacher’s schedule for the full semester. Tuition reflects ongoing instruction and professional availability and is not based on attendance or a guaranteed number of individual lessons.
Student Cancellations

• Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice are late cancellations and are not eligible for makeup lessons or credits.
• Each student is offered one sick or emergency cancellation (within less than 24hours notice) per semester that may be made up within the same term. Any additional late cancellations due to emergencies are understood, but cannot be made up.
• Tuition deductions are not available for vacations or pre-planned absences. Students may miss the lesson or schedule a makeup, subject to availability and expiration limits.
  
  

Teacher Cancellations & Schedule Changes
Teacher cancellations due to sickness or emergency will grant a student make-up credit. Teacher cancellations for other reasons may be made up at the student’s discretion, otherwise they will be refunded or credited toward the following semester.
As an active performing artist, the teacher’s schedule may occasionally require lesson times to shift. Advance notice will be given whenever possible, and a comparable lesson time will be offered. These are schedule adjustments, not cancellations, and do not affect tuition.

Studio Calendar & Breaks
The studio follows a yearly calendar that includes scheduled breaks (late December, early January, a spring break, and a short summer break). These breaks are built into the studio schedule and are not eligible for makeup lessons or credits. Tuition remains the same during scheduled breaks.
​
Withdrawal
Notice of withdrawal must be given before the start of the next semester. Once a semester has begun, tuition for that term is non-refundable.
Tuition & Payment OptionsBeginning February 2026, tuition reflects a 5% increase due to inflation and operating costs.
Tuition is charged per semester and may be paid:

• In full at the start of the semester, or
• In 4 equal monthly installments via auto-pay.

Monthly payments are a payment plan, not month-to-month enrollment. Missed lessons, absences, or schedule changes do not alter total tuition.

Referral and Alumni Benefits 
​I am always looking for new students! As an incentive for sharing the studio with friends, every Referral student that signs up for a Semester will earn a $100 credit for the Current student who has referred them, as well as $50 discount for the new student. 

Student testimonials are also needed and welcome. Monthly email reminders will be sent through the year with a reminder of the Referral Program, and a link where a testimonial may be given.
