Studio Policies
Welcome to The Piano Lab. To maintain the highest standard of musical excellence and ensure a consistent learning environment, the following policies have been established.
Tuition & Payment Terms
Payment Structure
4-Week Blocks: Tuition is payable in 4-week blocks.
Due Date: Payment is due in full at the first lesson of each 4-week cycle.
Tuition Rates: Fees correspond to the specific program selected ($200–$400 per 4-week block).
Accepted Payment Methods
Zelle (Preferred)
Venmo
Check
Please note: Cash payments are not accepted.
Refund Policy
Non-Refundable: All tuition payments are non-refundable.
Attendance & Rescheduling Policy
24-Hour Notice: Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations or schedule changes.
No-Show Policy: Lessons canceled with less than 24 hours' notice or no-shows will be charged for the session and are not eligible for make-up lessons.
Teacher Absence: If I need to cancel a lesson, a make-up session is strictly guaranteed.
Studio Schedule
Year-Round Weekly Lessons: To ensure steady musical progress, lessons are held on a consistent weekly basis throughout the year.
Family Travel & Events: We understand that family vacations and special events are important. You may skip a scheduled lesson for these reasons as long as 24 hours' notice is provided.
Flexible Credit System: With proper notice, your lesson credit will simply carry over to the following week. This shifts your next 4-week payment cycle accordingly, ensuring you only pay for the lessons you receive.
Practice Instrument Requirement
To ensure success in our curriculum, students must have access to a quality instrument for daily practice. An acoustic piano is highly preferred. If using a digital piano, it must have 88 weighted keys and a sustain pedal.
Enrollment & Termination
Eligibility: We welcome dedicated students aged 5 and above.
Withdrawal: A 30-day written notice is required for withdrawal from the program.
