TUITION

Our tuition is BELOW other offerings in the area, but, unlike others, it includes all sheet music (a saving for you), a 10% sibling discount, and NO registration, materials, or recital fees, ever!
PIANO: $140/month (3, 4, or 5 lessons monthly) for a 30min. individual lesson or two 15min. mini-lessons (Kindergarten only).
STRINGS: (violin, cello): $140/weekly for 30min. (3, 4, or 5 lessons monthly) individual lesson. (Must rent instrument; info).
GUITAR: $140/weekly for 30min. (3, 4, or 5 lessons monthly) individual lesson. (Must purchase or rent instrument)
GROUP CLASSES (Piano K-2 or Violin Gr. 1-3): $180 for ten weekly 30min. sessions. Sessions start in Sept., Jan., and April.
MONTHLY TUITION IS PAYABLE IN FULL, DIRECTLY TO THE TEACHER, AT THE START OF EACH MONTH. (Zelle, Cash, Venmo preferred, check or cash).
lessons will be discontinued if tuition is not paid at the start of each month.. Tuition payments must be current in order to keep the lesson time reserved - NO EXCEPTIONS!
there is a 10% sibling discount for two siblings at $250/month, or three siblings at $375/month. The sibling discount also applies to any student taking two lessons weekly, or two lessons on two instruments (eg. violin+piano, guitar+piano).
make-up lessons will be attempted for lessons missed due to school tests or field trips ONLY. If make-ups are not workable, a lesson credit will be applied toward the next month's tuition.
as with other activities, there is NO CREDIT/REFUND for missed lessons due to student's sickness, injuries, vacation during school time, etc. Make-up lessons in these cases WILL be attempted, but CANNOT be guaranteed.
If lessons are missed on a regular basis (more than two a month, for more than two consecutive months), and especially without advance communication, lessons will be terminated without refund for the current month.
If we are notified that lessons are being discontinued before the end of the month, the remaining balance cannot be reimbursed.
If desired, tuition for summer lessons is at the same rates, at a Park Ridge studio or online (FaceTime preferred).
