Billing
Payments are typically arranged in two semesters, payable at the first lesson of each semester. The fee pays for private and group lessons, as well as concerts and recitals. There is an additional $55 annual registration fee with the Ann Arbor Suzuki Institute which covers facility rental, accompanists for recitals, liability insurance, etc.
For those who pay monthly, billing is due at the beginning of the month. It's $40/week your child has a lesson ($60/$80 for 45 minutes and hours).
This year we have one 19 week semester and one standard 18 week one.
19 week semester rates are:
$760 for 30 minute lessons
$1140 for 45 minute lessons
$1520 for 60 minute lessons
The Monday of Memorial day will be off, and Monday students will have a make up day 11/21.
Fall lessons will run August 29th through January 28, 2023 with weeks off November 22-26 and December 23 - January 6.
Saturday students, please note that you will not have a lesson 12/24 and will instead have a lesson 1/7 just before school starts back up.
Group classes will be held every week of regular lessons, now in person! The classes will take place on Tuesdays, 4:30-5 for book 1 and 5-5:30 for book 2+, location TBD.
Students who join mid-semester will pay a pro-rated amount.
Policies
Regular attendance is very important to a child's musical and technical development. If a lesson or group class must be missed, please let me know as soon as possible. Private lessons which are cancelled with a 24 hr or more notice will be eligible for make-up scheduling. There are no refunds or rollovers for missed lessons.
If I must cancel I will let you know as soon as possible, and I will schedule a make-up lesson or return that lesson payment by the end of the semester.
If lessons or group classes are cancelled due to bad weather, I will let you know. Typically roads are clear by the afternoon/evening, so lessons can continue as scheduled.
