When we plan a program with you, we go into the office and budget how many lessons you'd like to take each week or month, and what combination of group and private instruction fits your needs. Then we figure out the cost per month. If that cost is too high, we simply change the number of lessons you take during the week or month. You can pay as little as $250 a month, or over $1000 per month. It is really up to each individual. You may opt to pay your student enrollment agreement in full at any time, or you can make a payment plan that suits your needs. You may stop paying on your agreement if you stop coming to take lessons, and you may cancel by writing us a letter at any time. If you don't come in for lessons and you are not paid up, we will not bill you. If the prices are subject to change we will notify you well in advance. We do not change prices in hopes that you'll buy now, or use incentive discounts to get you to continue. All of our students pay the same rate for each lesson.
