SoundStage School of Music      Tuition  Policy

    SoundStage School of Music operates on a monthly tuition basis.  Students who attend for a half hour private weekly lesson pay  $115.00 per month.  There is a discount offered for students attending  hour long weekly lessons.  In this case, students pay $199 per month.  Tuition in September, which is a half month for us, is prorated to half of the numbers above.

  The tuition is calculated on an eleven and a half month school calendar year which includes three weeks of holiday vacation time for the school year.  Typically, students  receive four lessons per month.  In some months,  just because of the way the calendar works, students will receive five lessons.  And in other months, when a holiday comes into play, students may receive three lessons.  The student tuition is the same regardless.  Over the course of the school year, all students receive the same number of lessons, typically forty-five.  Students may terminate their enrollment at SoundStage at any time by simply notifying us and finishing out the current month.

   There is a one time registration fee of $25.00, payable with the student's first month's tuition.

  SoundStage is a music school providing more than just music lessons with your tuition.  With your enrollment you receive:

  1. A 30 or 60 minute private time slot with your chosen teacher

  2. Workshops each  month on a wide variety of topics in music.

  3. Bi-monthly performances opportunities for all students

  In order for us to hire the very best professional teachers, we guarantee their fees. Once you are booked, your teacher will be there and they will be paid even if you cancel. Therefore, it is important to note that lack of attendance for any reason does not allow for a tuition rebate, refund or credit towards future monthly tuition.

  Some students may only attend their private lesson sporadically but choose to attend lots of workshops and concerts.  How you use the school is up to you. However, for maximum musical growth we encourage you to attend as many of your private lessons as possible.

  If for any reason a student needs to miss a lesson, our cancellation line is used to notify the teachers and administration.  By dialing the main office number (267-682-0965) and entering mailbox number 91, you can leave us a message indicating the student's absence.
