Studio Policy

Tuition & Payment  (September – May)

  • 30 minute lessons Monthly tuition – $104 due by the first lesson of each month.
  • 45 minute lessons Monthly tuition – $156 due by the first lesson of each month.
  • Please pay the same tuition each month between September and May whether there are 3, 4, or 5 lessons.  It will all average out because each student will have 36 lessons in the 9 month period (which averages to 4 lessons per month).
  • Payment can be made by cash, check or Venmo (@StarlaMinner).

Summer Lesson Payment (June – August)

  • My summer tuition policy is set up differently because of various vacations and camps. 
  • Please pay at the first lesson of each month – June, July and August – and only pay for the lessons that you attend.

Makeup Lessons & Cancellations

  • Between September and May, there will be no refunds or credit for any lessons that the student misses unless I have to cancel the lesson and it can’t be rescheduled.
  • If a student has to cancel a lesson, a makeup lesson will only be provided if I am notified at least 24 hours before the missed lesson day and time.
  • Exceptions will be made in case of sudden illness or medical emergency.
  • Makeups will be scheduled as time is available on my schedule (e.g., when there is another cancellation).

Spring Piano Recital

  • All students are encouraged to participate in our annual Spring Piano Recital which is located at Whitewater Crossing Christian Church.
  • This is a fun time to perform in front of families and friends and also to hear other students’ performances.
