Tuition

Tuition is for enrollment, not just attendance at lessons. The academic year runs September through June, and includes a total of 37 lessons. Tuition for lessons is prorated for those who start mid-year. The Summer months (July & August) offer more flexibility. Students may sign up for a predetermined number of lessons at the regular lesson rate. An annual non-refundable registration fee of $75 is charged per family for students participating in private lessons.
