Recitals
There will be 2 recitals during the academic year. One will be held at the end of the Fall semester, and another at the end of the Spring semester. Location and dates for these recitals will be announced. All students are encouraged to perform.

Recital fees are minimal and will be divided amongst all of those who participate.
Private Lesson Tuition
1 hour = $315.00 /month
45 min. = $ 255.00 /month
30 min. = $ 160.00/ month
Tuition is calculated based on an annual lesson schedule (September-August).
Tuition includes 46 lessons per year, divided over 12 months.
If a student decides to stop taking lessons before the completion of a full year, the student will be charged 1/2 of a month’s tuition to adjust for the calculated annual vacation time that is figured into the monthly lesson cost. ​​
Rates are subject to an annual ~3-5% increase based on cost-of-living adjustment, effective September of each year.
