STUDIO POLICIES

CORONAVIRUS CONSIDERATIONS

At Lyrikos, I am taking every precaution necessary to protect the health and well-being of my students and myself as our music-making continues for the 2024-2025 school year. I am fully vaccinated and implementing the following in the studio for the foreseeable future:
- I have scheduled short breaks before each lesson to disinfect the instruments and studio space.
- I will be wearing a mask and staying six feet apart from students and parents in-person in accordance with medical guidelines.
- Students and parents must always wear a mask in the studio. I will provide extras if you are not wearing one.

Please be mindful of your child's possible COVID-19 symptoms and do not attend lessons if they have a fever or persistent cough or have been diagnosed with COVID. I reserve the right to cancel a student’s lesson on-site if they are exhibiting these symptoms. or if a parent or student is not cooperating with the mask policy.

Piano lessons will cover the four basic pillars of music learning: music literacy, technique, performance, and theory. This includes studying classical, pop, jazz, contemporary, and world repertoire using method books and supplementary materials according to each student’s individual needs and interests.

Beginning and intermediate student at Lyrikos take 45-minute piano lessons each week. This allows enough time for the above pillars of learning, as well as time for educational activities away from the piano (iPad games, flashcards, etc.) and to speak briefly to parents about student progress. Younger students benefit from having these varied activities incorporated into their lessons.

Four group classes are included in the yearly tuition and occur in October, December, March, and May. These take the place of a regular lesson for the week and provide a chance for students to play for others of a similar age/level and learn valuable performance skills and audience etiquette. These classes may also include activities related to theory, history, ensemble playing, or improvisation. They may occur online via Zoom during the school year to stay safe.

Students must perform in the 1-2 recitals that are hosted each year as part of the Lyrikos studio. These may be online for the 2024-2025 school year.

Tuition is paid in 10 equal monthly installments during the school year. Rates for lessons are as follows:
- $51 for 45-minute lessons (beginner and intermediate children)
- $68 for 60-minute lessons (advanced children and all adults)

Tuition includes the following lessons during the school year:
- 31 lessons from August of 2024 through May of 2025
- 4 group lessons in October, December, March, and May

Monthly tuition installments are due by the 1st of each month and invoices are sent through PayPal to your e-mail. Accounts not paid on or before the 4th of each month will be charged a $20 late fee. Past due accounts will receive a courtesy email and text before lesson termination occurs on the 8th of the month.

If a student starts lessons midway through the school year, tuition installments will be prorated depending on the number of lessons left.

Enrollment fees are $20 and cover musical materials, software subscriptions, and any recital space bookings for the year. These fees are charged when you fill out the online enrollment form before starting lessons, and this is a recurring payment charged once per year.
