Students who began lessons last July or August have paid for 39 lessons. If you look at the Attendance Lesson Notes (icon is a person with a check mark, then you will need to click on the notes icon for the individual lesson), I indicate how many lessons you have had thus far. You have until approximately July 31 to complete these lessons.

Beginning with 10 June, I will be teaching regular individual lessons on Mondays and Tuesdays, but you will need to sign up for those lessons. Please note that some of you may need to have more than one weekly lesson to complete your 39 lessons before 31 July.

PLEASE plan to take at least a few lessons this summer. In my 38 years’ experience as an Independent Music Teacher, I have seen time and again that students who do not continue lessons during the summer spend the first several months in the fall getting back up to the level they were playing in the spring. 

I am offering some summer lessons for those of you who will have completed your academic year lessons, and want extra lessons. These summer lessons will not count toward your total for the academic year. You may schedule lessons once a week, twice a week, or even once a month! 

Tuition for Summer 2024 Lesson Packages will be: 

    THREE (3) 45-minute individual lessons + 15-minute computer lab and/or theory games            $135.00   

    FIVE (5) 45-minute individual lessons + 15-minute computer lab and/or theory games               $200.00           

To waive the $40 registration fee per student for the 2024-2025 academic year, sign up for the purple Registration event on my website calendar by midnight on Saturday, 29 June. You will also need to pay the first installment of tuition for the upcoming year by July 1. Music Outreach Program students please also sign up there.

Like this past year, annual tuition is based on the term from 1 July 2024 through 31 July 2025; you will receive 39 lessons:  approximately 36 lessons through 31 May 2025 and three (3) lessons during June or July 2025. 

You may choose one annual tuition payment due 1 July, or two semester tuition payments, due 1 July and 1 January, or 12 monthly payments, due 1 July and the first of each month after that.

The Registration Fee for the 2024-2025 academic year is $40 per student, unless you sign up for the Early Bird Discount by midnight 29 June.

Please be sure to check that ALL of your tuition, music scores, fees, etc.  for this (2023-2024) year are paid by Saturday, 15 June 2024 to avoid a $25.00 late fee. You may see your total due on my website. Go to “Account and Invoices” (the icon looks like a torn vertical sheet). If it says Balance Paid and the dollar number is green, you owe nothing. That amount may be subtracted from your future payment. If it says Balance Owing and the dollar number is red, that is the amount you owe before 15 June 2024.

If you are interested in doing a Composition Camp this summer, please sign up for the lime Composition Camp event on my website calendar by midnight on Monday, 3 June. Composition Camp will be $150 this year. See more details on the event 3 June. If you have not already done so, please send me an email regarding which weeks/times you are available. 

Thank you for reading this far and enjoy your summer!
