Private Lessons

Most of our faculty members give summer lessons.  Call the Business Office to arrange dates and times in advance.  We will work around the weeks that you plan to be out of town.  Even a few lessons over the summer will help your child stay on track.  Lessons will be billed in advance as pre-arranged with you, with payment due at the first lesson.  There is no registration fee.               $32 per 30-minute lesson

Cancellation policy for summer classes:  $25 fee for cancellations received by May 9.  From May 10-June 13, cancellation fee will be 25% of the cost of the program or $30, whichever is greater.  There will be no refunds for group program cancellations received after June 13.  Payment due in full at registration.

REFUND POLICY FOR PRIVATE LESSONS:  We regret that missed lessons cannot be refunded.  If schedule conflicts arise, we will make every effort to rearrange the lesson, but can't guarantee it;  however, we absolutely cannot reschedule lessons without at least 2 days' notice.
