Do you offer online/virtual lessons?
Yes — virtual lessons are a permanent part of what we offer, available via Zoom, FaceTime, Google Meet, or Skype. Many families love the convenience, and our teachers are fully experienced with online instruction. Same expert teachers, same curriculum, just from home. Virtual lessons are available year-round.
What happens if my child misses a lesson?
During the fall and spring semesters, we allow up to two cancellations and two make-up lessons per semester. Make-up lessons must be taken within the same semester — they cannot carry over. We ask for 24 hours’ notice for any cancellation. Please see our full semester policies for details.
What are your studio hours?
We offer lessons on weekdays and weekends. Exact availability depends on teacher schedules. The studio does not keep set open hours — it is open for scheduled lessons only. Students should arrive no more than 5 minutes before their lesson and be picked up no more than 5 minutes after.
Do you offer in-home lessons?
Yes, in-home lessons are available on a limited basis, depending on teacher availability and scheduling. There is an additional fee for in-home instruction. Contact us to find out if in-home lessons are available for your area and preferred instrument.
What happens during school breaks and holidays?
During our fall and spring semesters, the only holidays we close for are Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. If your lesson falls on any other holiday and you choose not to attend (with 24 hours’ notice), it will count as one of your two permitted cancellations. Summer programs run on a separate flexible schedule.
How does tuition work?
During the academic year, tuition is semester-based. Full pricing, payment options, and registration details are available in our Studio Policies & Registration section. We’re also happy to walk you through everything when you come in for your free trial lesson.
Do you require a long-term contract?
Our lessons run on a semester basis during the academic year. If you need to discontinue lessons mid-semester, we require a one-month written notice. Summer lessons are offered on a more flexible schedule. Full details are in our Studio Policies.
Where can I find full pricing details?
Complete tuition rates, registration fees, payment options, and policies are available on our Studio Policies & Registration page. You can also call or email us and we’ll send you everything you need.
How much should my child practice at home?
For younger children (ages 5–8), even 15–20 minutes of daily practice makes a significant difference. Older and more advanced students typically benefit from 30–45 minutes per day. Your teacher will set specific practice goals and guide you on how to support practice at home in a positive, productive way.
Do we need to own a piano or instrument at home?
Yes — regular practice at home is essential for progress. For piano students, we offer a convenient rental program if you’re not ready to purchase an instrument. For other instruments, your teacher will recommend affordable starter options. We never want cost to be a barrier — let’s talk about what works for your family.
