Hello from the green room

Tuition is due between the 25th-1st of each month. To pay, you will need to select your instrument from the drop-down menu above titled "Pick Your Instrument." Once on your instrument page, there are payment links at the bottom. Please make sure you select the correct link for your student and read through the description before you submit.

If tuition is not paid by the 1st, a 5% late fee will be added to all payment links. If tuition remains unpaid by the 5th, an additional late fee of 10% will be added, you will be contacted, and lessons may be discontinued until paid. If you are facing financial difficulties or are unable to pay tuition for any reason, please contact us at billing@cordsandkeysmusicstudio.com

In addition to tuition, there are some required and some supplementary supplies that will need to be purchased. Each student is expected to purchase their own music books and are responsible for the maintenance their instrument requires. Reference our supply list here: 

You are expected to bring all your needed supplies to each lesson. Failure to bring books will delay progress. During each lesson your teacher will make observations to best aid with the learning process and they will assign you the necessary tasks to practice throughout the week. You will be given a practice record to mark up during the week and return at each lesson. This helps your teacher to track your progress.

Practicing during the week between lessons is essential. The teacher will do everything they can to help you progress, but if practicing at home is absent, so too will be your progress. Any concerns towards practicing should be communicated to the teacher to best meet the individual's needs.

If for any reason you wish to discontinue lessons, we simply ask that you provide 30-days written notice. Even if you only wish to pause lessons for a time, we request 30-days notice. To stop attending scheduled lessons without communicating a desire to withdraw, is not an acceptable means to convey your intentions and you will be held responsible for remaining tuition and possible fees incurred.

As much as we hate to see students leave, there may be certain situations where you are encouraged to do so. Situations where your teacher may encourage you to withdraw:

1) Frequently tardy and/or absent from lessons. The teacher will do their best to provide make-ups when necessary, but the expectation is to be present for scheduled lessons. You will not be affected by teacher absences.

2) Lack of practicing and/or obvious disinterest. We don't expect perfection, but if there are weeks at a time where practicing is absent or there is an ongoing lack of participation during lessons, the teacher may recommend withdrawal.
