Tuition & Policies

NEW! Online Payment Options

Tuition is due on or before the 5th of each month.
A minimum 12 month commitment is greatly encouraged for the benefit of each student’s musical growth.
A minimum 6 month commitment is required.
Monthly tuition invoices are sent out on the 25th of each month.
Tuition is due on or before the 5th of each month
If tuition is not received by the 5th of the month, there will be a $25 late fee.
There is a one-time registration fee of $50 per family due at or before the student’s first lesson.
We offer a 10% discount for families taking 3 or more private lessons per month.
Books and Materials are purchased by the student.
If you suspend lessons, you will be subject to the registration fee when you resume lessons, any increase in tuition, and we cannot guarantee the same time or teacher.
Tuition is based on an average of 4 lessons per month. There are several months out of the year when you get 5 lessons in a month, for which you are not charged extra. This balances out the holiday months when the SoW is closed or when you have to miss an occasional lesson, etc.

30 minutes: $100/mo. + material fees
1 hour: $200/mo. + material fees

Parents may drop off students for the scheduled lesson time only.
Please be punctual (arrive 5-10 minutes before your scheduled lesson).
Keep in mind that you are paying for your scheduled time slot, so if you arrive late, you will not get a full lesson.

Parents, siblings, or anyone accompanying a student, may wait in the waiting room area, but please do not enter the lesson room (feel free to observe through classroom windows).
Students 10 years and younger MUST be accompanied by an adult in the waiting room area.
Students may not wait in the lesson rooms. They may only be in the lessons rooms during their scheduled lesson time.
Please be respectful of the waiting area/facilities (i.e. no running, climbing on furniture, etc).

Please refer to our website for holidays and closings. We observe Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving week, and two weeks at Christmas.
If your music mentor is unable to teach the lesson, one of our other excellent SoW mentors will substitute for that lesson.
If music mentor is unavailable and a substitute cannot be secured, the lesson will be made up.
If the student cancels a lesson during the school year, the lesson will not be made up.
If the lesson is cancelled due to weather, you will receive e-mail notification and the lesson will be rescheduled.
When a lesson falls on the fifth week of the month, the student receives that lesson free of charge. This allows students to average four lessons a month over the course of the year.

Email is the primary source of communication. Make sure you check your email regularly.
Our music mentors do not handle scheduling or cancellations. If canceling a lesson, please call (615) 804-1177 or e-mail info@schoolofworshiponline.net
