Terms of Enrollment

Tuition

Monthly payments, if applicable, are due by the 10th of each month for the duration of the term of enrollment.  Payments not received by the 10th of each month will incur a $10.00 late fee.  All tuition is non-refundable and tuition will not be adjusted due to lessons missed either by student or instructor.   A $25.00 fee will be added to the student's account for any returned checks or failed ACH or Credit Card payments.  If a student wishes to discontinue lessons for any reason prior to the end of the agreed upon term, tuition will be adjusted in accordance to the length of study and current school tuition rates (see rates for School Year Package and Single Semester Package).  If The Music Studio prematurely terminates this agreement due to delinquent tuition payments, The Music Studio may accelerate the payment of the balance of the tuition.

Missed Lessons/Tardiness

The Music Studio does not offer any refund or make-ups for tardiness or lessons missed or cancelled by students.  Tuition is not adjusted due to missed lessons either on the part of the student or the instructor, will make up lessons be given once the family has discontinued tuition payments.  Lessons missed or cancelled by instructors will be made up at a mutually agreeable time and as studio space becomes available, provided family's account is current.  The Music Studio reserves the right to provide a qualified substitute instructor in the event the current instructor is unable to make up missed lessons.  Parents who are habitually more than 10 minutes late picking up a child from lessons will be charged the current tuition rate for that hour.

Studio Calendar

The Music Studio annual calendar can be viewed on our website, and is not distributed at lessons or mailed unless requested.  Our calendar ensures that all private lesson students have the same number of available lesson slots per year regardless of lesson day (provided said student continues a full year).  Holidays and other non-teaching days have already been configured into the annual number of lesson slots and the annual tuition and are noted on the calendar.  Lessons scheduled "off" on the calendar are not designated to be made up.  TMS observes major holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and the studio will be closed during those holidays. 

Schedule/Faculty Change

Student requests for permanent schedule changes may be made at any time during the term; however, tuition will not be adjusted due to missed lessons.  The Music Studio will execute the first schedule change request free of charge; subsequent changes will be charged a fee of $15.00 each.  The Music Studio reserves the right to substitute and/or change the student's Faculty at any time.

Instruments, Supplies, Books

With the exception of pianos and pedal harp, students are responsible for providing their own instruments during class and at home for practice.  Students are responsible for purchasing all music as specified by their instructor.

Studio Policies

The Music Studio maintains additional studio policies with regard to our physical location.  These policies are posted on premises and must be adhered to by Students and Parents for the duration of their enrollment.  On Premise Studio Policies

Miscellaneous

The Music Studio may terminate lessons at any time for misconduct, misuse of equipment, or failure to pay tuition as documented in this agreement.  All families/students must read, agree to, and sign a copy of the current Terms of Enrollment prior to beginning lessons at The Music Studio.  It is the student's/Family's responsibility to be aware of all policies and the annual calendar.

Discontinuation of Lessons

If ending lessons on a permanent basis, The Music Studio requires students to give 30 days notice, by completion of a Lessons Discontinuation Form.
