This form is for current and new piano students of Piano Kats for the school year term of 2023-2024.
More information is included in the Policy and Calendar Form, which is included in the registration form. Below is an additional summary of tuition information and practice expectations.
Tuition
Tuition is calculated based on a balanced billing schedule for the academic year, which spans 34 weeks. Additionally, summer term includes a choice between 8 individual lessons or a week-long camp with 2 hours of instruction per day. 2 lessons are deducted from tuition for missed lessons. Even billing will now span over 12 months including summer lessons rather than the previous 9 month schedule.
In total, students receive 40 lessons over the course of 12 months. It's important to note that there are two weeks designated as missed lesson weeks, meaning they are not counted towards the total number of lessons. As a result, students effectively receive two "freebies" throughout the year. Please note that make-up lessons are not provided.
Tuition for private lessons at a rate of $60.75/hour (all private lessons are now BOOKED)
Tuition for group lessons at the rate of $40/hour
$120.75/month which includes the summer lessons.
Tuition for Theory Classes is $1000 for the school year - parents may choose how to pay
