Weekly lessons are enrolled quarterly, with tuition paid in consistent monthly installments.

60-minute weekly lessons: $350/month

Your tuition reserves your regular weekly time. Some months naturally have more scheduled lessons than others, but your monthly tuition stays the same.

Your regular weekly lesson time is reserved for you for each three-month period: January
January-March
April-June
July-September
October-December

You'll receive an invoice each month—you're not being asked to pay for three months at once.

Please give me at least 24 hours' notice when you need to cancel (text is best).

For October–December 2026:

• Your first qualifying cancellation is eligible for one of the quarter's designated makeup sessions.

• Your second qualifying cancellation receives a lesson-value credit toward the following month's tuition.

• Additional cancellations, cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice, and no-shows are not eligible for a makeup or credit.

Beginning January 2027:

One qualifying cancellation per quarter is eligible for a designated makeup session. Additional cancellations receive no makeup or credit.

I schedule two designated makeup Saturdays each quarter, approximately three weeks apart, with the second near the end of the quarter.

If you have a qualifying cancellation eligible for a makeup, you can reserve a lesson on one of those Saturdays, subject to availability.

Makeup opportunities must be used within the quarter. Once you've reserved a makeup session, canceling or missing it uses that opportunity.

Regular school-age enrollment runs from September through June. September is handled as a separate prepaid month.

From October through June, lessons are organized into three quarterly enrollment periods, with tuition paid in equal monthly installments.

60-minute weekly lessons: $335/month
45-minute weekly lessons: $295/month
30-minute weekly lessons: $215/month

The monthly amount stays consistent even though the number of scheduled lessons may vary from month to month.

Winter break, midwinter break, and spring break are already left out of the school-age schedule and tuition.

You don't need to treat those weeks as cancellations.

Please give me at least 24 hours' notice when your child needs to miss a lesson (text is best).

For October–December 2026, the first qualifying cancellation is eligible for a designated makeup session, and the second receives a lesson-value credit toward the following month's tuition.

Beginning January 2027, one qualifying cancellation per quarter is eligible for a makeup, with no additional credits or makeups.

Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice and no-shows are not eligible for a makeup or credit.

July and August aren't part of regular school-age enrollment, so there's no regular tuition during those months.

If you'd like some lessons during the summer, individual lessons can be scheduled separately when I have availability.

September tuition is due by July 15 to guarantee your existing lesson time for September.

That payment is your tuition for September-not an additional fee or deposit-and is non-refundable once paid.

If I don't receive September tuition by July 15, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to hold the time through the summer.

Regular weekly lessons can't normally be moved to another day.

If you need to miss a lesson, the cancellation policy for your enrollment plan applies. This lets me accommodate cancellations without having to rearrange other students' regular lesson times.

If I need to cancel a lesson, you'll receive a full lesson-value credit toward your next tuition installment.
The credit is $85 for a 60-minute lesson, $75 for a 45-minute lesson, or $55 for a 30-minute lesson. If you have a discounted tuition arrangement, the credit will reflect your individual lesson rate.
If I cancel a lesson, it doesn't count toward your quarterly cancellation allowance.

If you'd like me to continue holding your regular lesson time while you're away, tuition continues and the regular cancellation policy applies.

If you don't want to keep paying while you're away, you can give 30 days' notice and release the time. When you're ready to return, we'll see what's available.

Your lesson still begins and ends at its scheduled time, so arriving late doesn't extend the lesson or create a makeup or credit.

Just give me 30 days' notice.

Your lesson time remains reserved and tuition remains due during those 30 days. If the notice period ends partway through a month, I'll prorate the final amount for the lessons scheduled during the notice period.

After that, future tuition stops and the lesson time becomes available.
