ASBERRY SCHOOL OF MUSIC
STUDIO POLICIES 2007-2008
Tuition/Fees
A one-time, non-refundable fee of $25 per family is due at the time of registration. Your monthly tuition payments reserve a block of the instructor's time on a regular basis and do not pay for individual lessons. Therefore, monthly fees remain the same regardless of the number of lessons received in a specific month. Each student is scheduled to receive 40 lessons (including three workshops) over the course of 11 months. Families with two or more students enrolled in Asberry School of Music pay the family rate indicated by parenthesis.
- 30-minute weekly private lesson $100 ($95 family rate) per month
- 45-minute weekly private lesson $142.50 per month
- 60-minute weekly private lesson $190 per month
In addition, you will be billed for any music purchased for use by the student. Invoices will be distributed at the last lesson of each month and are due at the first lesson of each month. Accounts paid after the 15th of the month will be subject to a $25 late fee. Please make checks payable to Pam Asberry.
There will be no make-up lessons except in the event of serious or extended illness or teacher absence. You will be provided with a copy of my teaching schedule and a student phone list. In the event that you are unable to attend a lesson, please refer to these and attempt to switch lesson times with another student. There will be no refunds given for missed lessons.
Student Participation
Consistent daily practice without distractions is essential. Students should arrive at each lesson well prepared and with all necessary materials. Plan to arrive approximately five minutes before your lesson is scheduled to begin and leave promptly after your lesson is concluded. Students are encouraged to take advantage of performance opportunities provided by the teacher.
Parent Participation
Parents are always welcome to accompany students to lessons and to assist students in practicing at home. It is important to keep your instruments well maintained and in tune. If you are in need of a piano technician, I recommend contact Holly Ross at Southern Keyboards (770-953-0938).
Termination of Lessons
A minimum of one month's notice is required prior to termination of lessons. The teacher reserves the right to terminate lessons when the student is irregular in attendance, repeatedly fails to prepare assigned material, or is disruptive.
