1. We offer 34 lessons during the school
year (September through June). The tuition for the first lesson in the family is $1,190,
payable in 10 equal installments of $119 each, due by the 10 th
of each month (a $15 late fee will be assessed on the 11 th). Tuition
for second lessons in the family is $1,000, payable in 10 equal
installments of $100. Our annual registration fee for private lessons
is $20.00 per student ($50.00 per family maximum), to cover the
costs of scheduling and administration. This will be charged to
each student’s account at the beginning of the year. A $50
deposit for the cost of lessons will be charged to each family
in their first month of lessons; this deposit will be applied to
the last month of lessons.
2. Lessons missed for any reason will be made up with your regular
teacher when possible, or with another qualified faculty member.
We do not guarantee that every make-up lesson will be with your
regular teacher.
3. If you must miss a scheduled lesson,
please call at 203-267-7672.
Lessons must be cancelled by 11:00 am the day of the lesson, to
qualify for a rescheduled time. We cannot honor the make-up policy
for last minute phone calls.
4. Make-up lessons should be scheduled as soon as possible after
a lesson is missed. Contact the Renaissance Center for scheduling.
Make-up lessons not scheduled within 30 days will be forfeited.
Make-up lessons may not be carried over, credited or refunded.
In addition to regularly scheduled make-up days, make-up lessons
may be scheduled whenever there is an opening on your own or another
qualified teacher’s schedule.
A statement will be handed or mailed to you at the beginning
of each month, which will include any materials (books, picks,
reeds, etc.) issued to the student during the previous month.
The Center can now accept credit card payments, using Visa
or Master Card.
5. We will offer a number of Group Classes in theory, harmony,
rhythm, group piano playing, improvisation, African drumming and
small ensemble playing. All registered students at the Renaissance
Center will be able to attend any of the one-time Group Classes
throughout the year at no additional charge.
6. Recitals will be scheduled throughout the school year as students
become ready to perform their music for family and friends.
7. Group sessions are billed at a separate rate.
8. Feel free to direct any questions about our policies to Jan
Gregory by phone (203) 267-7672.
9. Summer lessons are offered during July and August, on an informal
basis. Dates and times are agreed upon and billed as such.
