Important Conservatory Policies Regarding Registration, Fees, and Payment

Payment Policy

We accept VISA, MasterCard, Discover, Cash (for the exact amount), and personal checks. Payments must be made, or special arrangements for payment must be made prior to lessons commencing. Students will not be allowed to begin classes before payment and the registration form is received.

Late Payments will be subject to a $20.00 late fee Students with outstanding balances are not eligible to participate in the scholarship auditions, apply for financial aid, or register for subsequent semesters.

Registration Fee

There is an annual registration fee of $40 per family studying Fall and/or Spring and Summer Semesters. If starting in the Summer only, the Registration fee is $20.00. THIS FEE IS NON-REFUNDABLE.

Missed Lessons/Makeup Lessons

PLEASE NOTE: If a student misses an appointed makeup lesson, it will not be rescheduled.

There are no make-ups for missed lessons for students enrolled in the introductory 8-week session or during the Summer semester. There are no make-ups for missed group classes. Switching or swapping lesson times is sometimes possible when a student knows in advance that a lesson will be missed. A rescheduled lesson is not considered a missed lesson.

Refunds

Purchase of Music

All students will be expected to purchase music for their classes or lessons. Photocopying music is against copyright laws and will not be done at the Conservatory.

Inclement Weather

The safety of our students is our primary concern. If the local public and private are dismissed eary due to inclement weather, the Conservatory will not automatically close. We will only call students if their class or lesson has been cancelled
