Discounted Tuition: For those dedicated students willing to commit to the study of the piano for the full academic term (35 scheduled lessons), a discounted tuition rate is offered. The discounted tuition rate for weekly 45 minute lessons is $140 per month, payable in 9 monthly installments, September through May. For families with more than 1 student, the second student is an additional $120 per month, and the third student is an additional $100 per month.

Academic Term: To qualify for discounted tuition, students must commit to study for the full academic term. The full academic term consists of 35 weekly 45 minute lessons, scheduled between September 11, 2010 and July 2, 2011.

Recital Fee: Two recitals are scheduled during the academic term, the first in February and the second in May (see Calendar for details). The fee for each recital participant is $25.00.
