For new students, there is an enrollment fee of $80 and a two lesson deposit paid only once at the first lesson. The deposit and registration fee can be made in cash, Zelle or check (make checks payable to Virtuoso Academy).
Monthly tuition payment is due by the first lesson of each month. Monthly tuition will be handed to your instructor by the due date. Please make checks payable to your teacher. There will be a penalty fee of $10 for each week the tuition is late after the 7th of the month.
Please notify your instructor and the front desk of your absence at least 24 hours before the lesson time. The missed lesson can be used for a make-up lesson rearranged by your instructor. However the make-up lessons are limited to 3 times per semester. Failure to notify your instructor and the manager of your absence 24 hours beforehand will result in forfeiture of the one class (no make-up lessons or credit).
The school year is from August 1st to June 30th. There is a requirement of 4 lessons per month including any major holidays (i.e. Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.). If there is a 5th lesson in a month, it can be used as a make up for any missed lessons. Teachers and students can also choose to skip the 5th lesson of the month. The studio will monitor all schedules and provide an attendance record for each student on December 31st and May 31st to alert you if any short or extra lessons. Lessons in July are optional but recommended.
If a student has over a month of absence, his or her time slot may be given away to another student. A new schedule will be discussed upon return.
Please give a 2 week written notice to the instructor and the office if you wish to drop the class, and please be aware that your spot will be taken by the students on the waiting list. The deposit will be refunded after your last 2 lessons.
Please keep all public facilities and instruments clean at Virtuoso Academy.
