Lesson information
Lessons are offered year round, taught on a weekly basis, and paid monthly.

Parents and prospective students, I truly believe that music should be for everyone, so scholarships are available.  Just ask.

We offer 30min weekly private lessons for adults and children as young as 5 years old. We also offer 50min weekly mini band or piano lab lessons for students in 2nd grade to 12th grade. Tuition for either format is the same rate of $175/month and there’s a $35 annual registration fee.

Payment information
– 1st month’s tuition is prorated.
– Subsequent monthly tuition is the flat rate due on or before the 1st of each month.
– While payment commitment is month to month, you can withdraw from lessons at anytime.

– Pay using your credit card, Google Pay, or bank account via the emailed invoice.
– Monthly payment reserves your time slot for a given month.
– A $20 late fee will be charged if tuition is not received by the 7th of the month.

– Fall and Spring (September through May) flat rate monthly payment details:
* Some months have more lessons (like 5-week months), and some months have less (like holiday months). With the flat rate, there’s no need to recalculate each month’s tuition. It will always be the same amount and always be due on the 1st of the month.
* Flat rate is based on an average of 34 lessons per school year over 9 equal payments.
* No lessons are taught on Thanksgiving week, the two weeks of Winter Holiday, and the week of Spring Break. Therefore, these 4 weeks are not factored in the monthly payment. (Actual dates based on Round Rock ISD academic calendar.)

“The purpose of a teacher is not to regurgitate the mountain of information that is already easily accessible. A teacher is there to analyze what a student can and cannot do, so that an efficient practice strategy to acquire the necessary technical skills to interpret music can be created.”
– Gene Wie, music teacher
