Musical Minds Studios

Flute Policies
Tuition and Fees
Tuition is billed by the term and may be paid in installments as outlined in the semester calendar. Installments are due
at the first lesson of each month. Tuition is non-refundable.

Tuition increases annually by three percent, with new rates established each fall.

Lessons
Students must bring all necessary materials for lessons. Please check before leaving home.
A quality music education is a significant financial investment. In addition to tuition parents should understand the cost
of purchasing, maintaining and upgrading an instrument, and be prepared to pay for a metronome with a tuner, music
stand and any guest artist workshops, competitions, summer camp fees and all necessary music. Students who are
progressing well will go through a significant amount of music each year.
Practicing
A good practice environment is essential. The students flute should be in good working order. Practice requirements
vary according to class and level.
Missed Lessons and Workshops
A students private lesson time must be a priority in the family schedule. Lessons missed by students may not be made
up. Please do not ask to reschedule for parties, sports events, medical appointments, etc. Tuition for missed lessons or
workshops is not refunded.
A student who is unable to attend a lesson may invite a family member to take his or her place and may opt for a flute or
voice lesson.
A private lesson cancelled by Musical Minds Academy will be made up at the end of the semester or earlier. No other
make-up lessons are offered.
Commitment
The enrollment is a firm commitment and guarantees your place in the studio. To maintain a position in the studio, all
students are required to register for summer lessons.
Recitals and Performance Events
Studio recitals are held regularly. Participants are expected to stay for the duration of recitals. Please do not ask to
arrive late or leave early.
Musical Minds Studios encourages participation in performance events including District and State Solo Competitions,
All-State and All-Northwest.
Punctuality
Please be on time for lessons. I will not be able to go over your lesson time into anothers when you are late.
Remember you are paying for your slot and not minutes into someone elses.
Lesson will begin and end promptly. Please be punctual!!
