Academic Year Schedule

 

Formally scheduled piano lessons are taught beginning mid- September 2022 and ending early June 2023.  Tuition pays for 26 private lessons during the academic year.  The schedule follows a one-week Thanksgiving break, two-week Christmas break, one or two-weeks near the February school break, and one-week April school break when lessons will not normally be scheduled.  Please check the calendar I will provide you for other changes during the year.

 

It is the responsibility of the student/parents to take advantage of the 26 lesson dates.  Whenever possible, I am happy to give a make-up lesson.  Finding a convenient time is frequently impossible because both our schedules are so full.  Please realize the 26 lessons of the academic year take into account the expectation that students will be absent occasionally because of illness or family travel.  Therefore, I may not make-up lessons if a student is not actually behind in numbers of lessons.

                                               

Also included throughout the year are performance classes prior to auditions (examinations), competitions, or recitals.  These classes are an essential part of gaining performance confidence and trying-out new repertoire.

 

Total tuition for the academic year (September through June) is divided into three payments:

 

1. Pre-payment for next academic year is due in late May

2. September payment is due the first lesson in September

3. December payment is due the first lesson in December
