Tuition is billed monthly and includes weekly lessons, studio events, and recital participation.
Current tuition:
30-minute lesson: $120/month (recommended for most elementary and middle school students)
45-minute lesson: $180/month (reserved primarily for advance middle school and high school students)
Tuition reserves your student's place in the studio and is not based solely on attendance.
Beutler Music Studio operates for 48 instructional weeks each year, with four weeks reserved for teacher vacation—typically two weeks during the summer and two weeks around Christmas. Tuition is divided into 12 equal monthly payments rather than being based on the number of lessons in a particular calendar month. Therefore, tuition will not be adjusted during months when studio vacation occurs. Specific vacation dates may vary from year to year according to my family's schedule and will be communicated in advance.
Families who wish to discontinue lessons are asked to provide at least 30 days' notice. Tuition remains due during the notice period.
A $50 annual music fee is due at the beginning of August (or at the time of the first class if your student begins mid semester).
