Trial Class Policy for Group Music Classes

Do to the format of our group music classes, and our commitment to best serve each individual student, we do not offer "free" trials. If you would like your child to do a "trial" in one of our group music classes, there will be a charge of $10.00. This $10.00 amount will be credited towards your child's first month of class, should he or she decide to continue, provided that the first month of class is within 30 days of the trial class.

We do not bill for partial months. If your child is starting part-way through a month, the first month of tuition plus the registration fee is payable upon enrollment. Thereafter, payment is due at the first class of each month. You are welcome to make up any missed classes on another day, please phone ahead.
