Music lessons

Semester-based scheduling, with optional summer lessons

End-of-School-Year Recital



Enrollment Overview

Nuance Music Studio offers year-round instruction. The Enrollment Agreement begins the first week of September and continues through the end of June.

Students follow a scheduled calendar of lessons throughout the school year. Annual tuition is divided into equal monthly installments, billed from September through June.



In addition to the regular school-year lessons, Nuance Music Studio also offers optional summer lesson packages of 4 or 8 lessons (billed separately).



Enrollment Agreement

To maintain clear communication about tuition, fees, summer schedule, and the number of classes per semester, parent(s) sign the Policy Agreement upon enrollment.



Tuition & Fees

Families are responsible for monthly payments once the first installment is paid.

Registration & Materials Fee: $100 per student, billed annually.

Tuition: Payable in advance and due on the 1st of every month.

Payment Program: Tuition will be processed through our online payment program (credit or debit card only) and will be automatically debited on the 1st of each month from the payment method you provide on the platform.

Upon registration, your credit or debit card will be charged for a non-refundable registration fee.

Late Fee: A $40 late fee will apply to payments received after the 1st (in cases where a payment method is declined or not updated).

Lessons will be suspended after 10 days of non-payment. Repeated late payments or non-payment may result in termination of lessons without refund.

Enrollment and monthly tuition fees do not cover additional miscellaneous expenses such as competition registrations or other external costs.





Schedule Holiday and Observed Dates

A calendar with the scheduled classes, holidays, and observed dates will be sent to you during the first week of each semester. No lessons will be held on the dates marked as holidays and observed. Please mark your calendars accordingly.



Arrival time for lessons (At-Home Lessons)

Our teachers travel between homes during working hours. Please allow a 5–10 minute arrival window past the scheduled lesson time. If a teacher misses a lesson and has not contacted you, please notify Farida or the Studio as soon as possible by message or email.



Supervision Requirement (At-Home Lessons)

An adult must be present on the premises during each lesson.

If no adult is present at the teacher’s arrival, the lesson will be canceled automatically, and no refunds will be issued.



Recitals and Performances (Instruments)

One recital will be held at the end of the school year (May/June). While participation is not mandatory, recitals are a wonderful opportunity for students to share their progress.



Missed Lessons (Instruments)

- Student Absences: Due to teacher scheduling and the individualized nature of these lessons, we are unable to offer credits, reschedules, or refunds for missed instrumental classes.

- Teacher Absences: Each semester includes one designated make-up week for any teacher absences.

- Makeups or refunds do not apply to cancellations due to state-declared emergencies such as severe weather events (e.g., tornadoes, snowstorms, hurricanes, or other emergencies).



Kindermusik Students

- Families enrolled in the Kindermusik programs Foundations, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Mixed Ages may attend up to two (2) make-up classes per semester, subject to availability.

- Make-ups must be scheduled in advance and are only available while the child is currently enrolled.

If, for any reason, Nuance is required to cancel a class, a make-up will be scheduled, or a credit will be issued to families for the cost of the canceled class. - Makeups or refunds do not apply to cancellations due to state-declared emergencies such as severe weather events (e.g., tornadoes, snowstorms, hurricanes, or other emergencies).



Termination of Lessons

Families are responsible for monthly payments once the first installment is paid.

If you wish to withdraw, you must provide written notice at least thirty (30) days before the start of the following month.



Photo & Video Consent

By enrolling in our classes, you grant Nuance Music Studio permission to use photos and videos taken during class or events for promotional purposes, including social media and our website.

If you prefer your child not to be included in any promotional media, please notify us in writing at the time of registration.
