(Tuition includes lesson fees and group classes, performances, etc) Students joining the studio mid-semester will have a pro-rated tuition.

Missed classes and makeups are at the teacher’s discretion. Make- up lessons will not be given for less than 24 hour notice, unless the teacher grants exceptions for true emergencies. A Studio calendar will be posted with phone numbers so that students may schedule a lesson time ‘switch’ if they need to make changes due to conflicts with other important events. There will be two scheduled ‘make-up master class days’ during the year if a lesson is unable to be switched. If a make-up lesson is missed, the lesson is forfeited and may not be rescheduled again.
