Payment Schedule
It is preferable to have tuition paid at the first lesson of the month and the amount is determined by the number of lessons in that month. It is considered late if not paid by the third week. A $20 late fee will be charged. Not paying the tuition on time may result in losing your time slot.
Studio Recitals
All students are encouraged to perform in the studio recital. The recital will be held annually in October at Steinway Gallery Pasadena. The date will be announced one month in advance. Students will perform two pieces of their choosing.
Summer Classes
Unlike the school year schedule, attendance at summer sessions is more flexible, allowing for vacations. Students are encouraged to continue in the summer, and those who participate for at least two months will have priority in choosing their schedule for the fall. Students who do not participate in summer classes but wish to reserve a fall slot must make their reservation before the summer.
Missed Classes
The tuition you pay reserves a time. Unless I am informed of absence at the beginning of the month or at least 24 hours in advance, there is no refund or makeup lesson; the only exceptions are illness and accidents. Makeup lessons may be scheduled according to available slots. Reserved time slot will be forfeited if 1) there are 2+ times per semester of last-minute cancellation and/or no-show 2) non-illness absence for 2+ times or more in a month for two consecutive months.
