Tuition is used to defray costs of operating the program. The expense of music and instructional materials is not included in the tuition fee and will be billed separately. Students will be dropped from the program if tuition is not paid by the end of each quarter. Requests for lessons are taken prior to the beginning of each semester and summer session. Generally, lesson times occur on Mondays through Fridays and not on weekends.
Final registration is completed by the teacher at the initial lesson.
Once lesson times have been arranged between the teacher and student, parents or students who do not give advance notice will be charged for missed lessons. Occasionally, teachers must be away from campus. In such instances, lessons will be rearranged or taught by a substitute teacher. A student with chronic absences will be dropped from the program. Messages for Teachers Messages to faculty members and teaching staff may be left with the Smith Memorial Hall secretary who will put notes in teachers' mailboxes.
