FAQ

How much do lessons cost? 
Lesson cost varies from teacher to teacher, but generally half hour lessons are $35-40 per lesson and 60 minute lessons run from $65-$80 per lesson. Tuition is pro-rated into monthly installments based on the total number of lessons left in the school year. There is a $25 registration fee for each school year ($40 for families of two or more students).

When is tuition due? 
Tuition is due on the 1st of every month and is considered late after the 10th. Late payments may be subject to a $10 late fee. First payment is due on the first lesson day, and all subsequent payments will be due on the 1st of the following month. Payment must be received before lessons are offered. Failure to pay tuition will result in lesson suspension and a potential loss of their time slot. Deliberate non-payment of any amount will be turned over for collection and relevant collection fees will be added.
 

Do you offer trial lessons? 
The Leopold School does not offer trial lessons, but we do audition every voice student to get to know their individual goals and needs prior to placing them with a teacher. Auditions typically run between 10-20 minutes- there is no preparation required. For guitar and piano, we encourage parents and students to meet with their potential teacher for an "interview" prior to booking lessons to ensure every student is matched with the best fit teacher. 

Are books provided at The Leopold School? 
For your convenience, lesson books for piano and guitar are sold in-house. These are provided to the students as needed for their lessons, and the books are billed to your account. You are not required to purchase books from us, and in some special order cases it might be faster to purchase the books on amazon or another online platform.

What happens if I can't make a lesson? 
As is standard procedure for private music schools, a student’s reserved lesson time will be honored conscientiously, and it is assumed that he or she will make it a priority to attend every scheduled lesson at the time agreed upon. No adjustment or reduction in tuition is possible for student absences, even if one or more lessons in a given month are missed, tuition remains the same. Your monthly payment is to reserve your lesson time, whether you attend it or not. If you arrive late to your lesson, those minutes lost are forfeit and will not be made up by the teacher. 

If a lesson must be missed or canceled, a notice of at LEAST 24 hours must be reported to your teacher or through the business office to become eligible to schedule a make-up lesson. The sooner notice is given to your teacher, the easier it is for them to accommodate a make-up lesson. Make-up lessons are scheduled according to the teacher’s availability and discretion and we ask that they are kept to a minimum throughout the year. They are limited to only one per calendar quarter (one make-up every three months) for a total of three possible make-up lessons per school year.  

Make-up lessons are not guaranteed and are offered solely at the teacher’s discretion and availability. Please be considerate of their time and schedule. No- shows forfeit their lesson. Missed make-up lessons are also forfeit, we will not make up a make-up. 

In the event that the teacher must miss or cancel a lesson, a make-up lesson will promptly follow. If a make-up lesson is simply impossible due to their schedule or extenuating circumstances, a tuition adjustment will be made and applied as a credit on the following month's invoice. 

How does the school year calendar work? 
The Leopold School's regular school year runs from August through May for a maximum total of 36 weeks of lessons. The studio’s breaks are closely aligned with most public and private school calendars. We are closed for Labor day, Thanksgiving, Winter, Spring break, and Summer break. Those days are built into our schedule, and there are no billed lessons those weeks. 

Our newly added Summer Session provides students with an opportunity to continue their studies throughout the summer should they wish (June and July). Teacher schedule and availability is limited since most families choose to take a break to accommodate summer activities and vacations. 

Are there performance opportunities at The Leopold School? 
Yes, the Leopold School hosts yearly spring recitals at the end of our school year (usually early- mid May). Every other year we have a Christmas Recital in December or Winter Recital in January. Students are strongly urged to participate in recitals, but never required to perform. Participation in recitals is offered to those who have met the eligibility requirements. 

Does The Leopold School provide instruments?
No, we do not sell or provide instruments for students. Our staff is more than happy to make recommendations to you on what instruments to purchase and where. 

What happens if I need to cancel lessons? 
We require 30-days written notice sent to the leopoldschool@theleopoldschool.com for lesson termination – this is customarily required by most music schools. Your final payment will be prorated to only include lessons within the 30 day period starting with the date of the emailed written notice. Students may be reinstated after termination only if their account shows no outstanding balance and by paying a new registration fee of $25.00.
