2009-2010 Lesson Attendance

Students are expected to attend their scheduled weekly lessons. Students must make a choice when conflicts arise due to sports, church or social activities. Missed lessons must be paid for regardless of the reason for the absence. Only absences due to sickness will be made up; there will be a maximum of 2 make-up lessons offered during the 2009-2010 school year. Lessons missed due to snow or other severe weather may be made up at the end of the year. If we miss multiple days due to severe weather conditions, the lessons may be made up in small groups.

Tuition

Registration Fees: $25.00 for new students $15.00 for returning students due by May 15 $20.00 late registration This fee is non-refundable and reserves your space in the my schedule.

Tuition for the 2009-20010 school year is as follows:

30 minutes = $20.00 per lesson

45 minutes = $30.00 per lesson

60 minutes = $40.00 per lesson

Tuition is billed on a monthly basis & is due by the first lesson of the month. Statements are sent home with the student on the last lesson of the month. Parents are responsible for getting the statement from the front of the child's notebook. This is also a great time to look over my comments for the last several lessons.

Activities Fee - A fee of $18.00 will be billed in April to cover some of the cost of recitals, contest materials and other activities.
