Tuition & Fees

NOTE: Just so you know we charge as much or more as any other music school in our area and there’s a reason, we are the best at what we do.

If you want to work with the best, that’s us. If you’re trying to be cheap on your way to success, there’s a whole bunch of other people you can work with.

So if your only consideration in choosing a music teacher is how low their prices are, then you should probably go to someone else.

If you want to work with the best, welcome in.

How Our Tuition Works

We begin with two trial lessons, ideally one week apart, to establish a good rapport between your child and the teacher. Our aim is to ensure that your child is making progress and enjoying the practice process. We guarantee that, provided your child is at least 4 years old and follows the 5-minute daily practice routine, they will be able to play at least one song during these two weeks.

Monthly tuition is a payment plan for annual tuition. It subdivides the annual into 10 equal payments (Sept.- June) making it easier and more convenient to budget for.
