NOTE: There are 40 private lessons, plus group classes and events included in yearly tuition. The annual $100 accompaniment fee is due in September and covers piano accompaniment time in group class and recital performances. Additional rehearsal time is required for all students in books four and up, and should be paid directly to Allyson or Adam at a rate of $35/half hour.
There are three discretionary weeks in which I won’t teach that are not listed on the calendar. Discretionary weeks allow me to take time off for personal reasons, professional development, or illness as the year goes by.
