We like to set up a trial lesson to meet the student (and their parents) in person, answer any questions, and make sure that we are a good match! To request an appointment please contact us! The introductory lesson costs $45.
There are two plans to choose from: Equal Automatic Monthly Payments (you get a total of 45 lessons in a 12-month period), and Fall and Spring Semester System (you get 18 lessons per semester).
EQUAL AUTOMATIC MONTHLY PAYMENTS
45 weekly lessons during the 12-month period from the sign up date. The seven (7) remaining weeks out of the year are reserved for vacation and sick days.
The cost of 45 lessons is divided into 12 equal automatic monthly payments.
30-minute lessons - $187 per month (for complete beginners in violin who are too young for a 45-minute lesson, we strongly encourage students to sign up for 60 minutes and have two 30-minute lessons every week for a while.)
45-minute lessons - $267 per month
60-minute lessons - $357 per month
You are not obligated to take lessons for the entire year. To stop lessons, please notify us two weeks before the next billing date. Depending on the scheduling, you may have pre-paid lessons remaining or owe a balance on previously completed lessons.
You may choose to complete or forfeit any remaining lessons. There are no refunds.
If there is a remaining balance on completed lessons, you will be charged that final balance.
We will provide a detailed receipt for all lessons taken and paid for upon cancelation.
FALL AND SPRING SEMESTER SYSTEM
This system may work well for those who plan to be away for the entirety of the summer and follow the public schedule for vacations. There is an option to take additional lessons in the summer, if the schedule and teacher's availability allow it.
The school year is made up of 18 lessons per semester. Fall semester starts on September 1st, 2023 and ends on January 22, 2024. Spring Semester starts on January 23rd, 2024 and ends on June 10, 2024. The payment is withdrawn two weeks prior to the start of the semester, on the 15th of the month.
Cost per semester is as follows:
30-minute lessons - $900
45-minute lessons - $1282
60-minute lessons - $1710
If you join the studio mid-semester, the first payment covers the lessons remaining before the end of your first semester.
Payment Methods and Additional fees
The method of payment used for all payments is ACH transfer, which is a direct bank to bank transfer set up through a secure and reputable billing company. All of your personal information is kept safe and private.
You may choose to use a credit card instead, however, a 3% fee will be added to the monthly charge.
A declined transaction will result in a $20 fee.
We do not accept cash, check, Venmo, or PayPal as methods of payment.
