Tuition and Fees: All classes are $135/month per student. Your first month’s tuition and a $50 non-refundable deposit are due at the time of registration. The $50 deposit will be applied to your last month of lessons as long as notice is provided to music@bucktownmusic.com of intent to withdraw before the first day of your last month of lessons. The regular monthly payment is automatically charged the first of every month to your credit card on file. If you begin classes partway through the month, your first payment will be prorated. Tuition is based upon 48 classes per year. Days off for 2022 are: New Year’s Day (1/1), Memorial Day (5/31-6/1), Independence Day (7/4-7/5), Labor Day Break (9/2-9/7), Yom Kippur (10/4-10/5), Thanksgiving Break (11/23-11/25), and Winter Break (12/22-12/31). Your monthly payment does not change since these days off are already figured into the $135/month tuition price. Each student is required to keep a credit card securely on file. We accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover. Your credit card will be charged $135 on the first of each month.
Attendance Policy: Regular attendance of lessons is necessary for progress and continuity. The tuition you pay reserves a specific lesson time with your teacher (example: Wednesdays from 4:30-5:00) each week, therefore, your lesson cannot be rescheduled.
Make ups: We try very hard to offer make-ups for our students, however, make ups are not guaranteed. If you have to miss a lesson, we require that you provide written notice 24 hours in advance in order to receive a makeup. You may email music@buctownmusic.com or mark yourself absent through our student porta (https://www.bucktownmusic.com/lesson-student-portal1.html). If you do not provide advance notice, you forfeit your lesson and are not eligible for a make-up. You may recoup your make-up in the time slot of an absent student. You can see and reserve available make-up times on our student portal or email or call to reserve a spot that works for you. You may do a make-up with any teacher, you are not guaranteed a make-up with your specific teacher. It is the student’s responsibility to contact Bucktown Music to arrange a make- up time, we will not automatically reschedule your lesson nor will we call you when there is an opening.
Makeups do not expire as long as you are an enrolled student. Bucktown Music does not provide refunds or credit for missed lessons. If you stop taking lessons, all make-ups are forfeited. In the case of a teacher absence, Bucktown Music will provide a qualified substitute.
Inclement Weather and Public Health Orders: In the case of inclement weather or a public health order that requires social distancing, all lessons and classes will be conducted virtually through a safe online platform like Zoom.us. There are no refunds or credits issued for lessons that must be conducted virtually.
Discontinuing Lessons: You must provide written notice that you intend to discontinue private lessons before the first day of your last month. If you are unhappy with your lessons or teacher for any reason, please contact luis@bucktownmusic.com and we will try to find a solution that works for you.
