Policies

1. Our Philosophy

At Cheryl’s Piano Studio, I am committed to providing a supportive and structured learning environment where students of all ages can discover the joy of music. Whether pursuing the RCM program or learning for personal enrichment, my goal is to build confidence, strong technique, and lasting musical skills through personalized instruction.

2. Tuition & Payment

Tuition reflects more than lesson time—it includes professional planning, individualized instruction, repertoire selection, and studio resources.

Lesson Rates

• 30-Minute Lesson: $35
• 45-Minute Lesson: $50
• 60-Minute Lesson: $60

Billing & Payment

• Tuition is billed monthly and is due by the first lesson of each month.
• Payments are accepted via e-transfer to [Your Email Address].

3. Attendance & Studio Commitment

Enrollment reserves a dedicated weekly time slot exclusively for you. This is your time, and I am committed to being ready for you each week.

Consistency

Regular attendance is essential for steady progress. Missed lessons cannot be rescheduled or credited.

Student Absences

While missed lessons cannot be made up, your tuition ensures your time remains reserved throughout the term.

Teacher Cancellations

If I must cancel a lesson, a make-up lesson or credit will always be provided.

4. Practice & Instruments

Progress is a partnership between the studio and home practice.

Home Instrument

• A well-maintained acoustic piano, or
• A digital piano with 88 weighted keys and a sustain pedal

Practice Expectations

Students are encouraged to practice at least 5 days per week for consistent progress.

5. Materials & Books

Students are responsible for music books and RCM examination fees. Materials may be purchased independently or added to the monthly invoice.

6. Health & Wellness

Please stay home if you or your child are feeling unwell to keep the studio safe for everyone.
