Register any time! We’ll gladly pro-rate tuition or schedule makeup classes if you join after the Kindermusik semester begins or if you start lessons part-way through the month.
Payment Our automated payment system is easy and hassle-free for you. Simply inform us of your payment preference – credit card, debit card, or automatic bank draft – on your registration form. Prior to your payment due date, we’ll send you a reminder of the impending charge and then we’ll automatically charge your account per the schedule.
Kindermusik payments are charged on the 5th of the month.
Payments for private and semi-private lessons are charged on the 1st of each month.
Registration Fees The annual registration fee includes the cost of registration, the assignment notebook, recital fees, Music Fest fees, and a year’s subscription to Piano Explorer. Fees for other events are collected separately.
Voice students pay one annual accompanist fee of $10 per student to cover the costs of hiring an accompanist for performances and recitals. The accompanist fee will be charged along with the annual registration fee at the time of registration.
Registration Fees are non-refundable.
Kindermusik fees are all-inclusive; there is no additional registration fee for Kindermusik enrollments.
Make up Lessons Kindermusik classes may be made up in any class with extra room. Simply call the office to schedule in advance.
For all other lessons and classes, two makeups per school year are allowed. We recommend reserving these makeup lessons for extenuating circumstances. Lesson time cannot be extended for being late. All lessons missed due to teacher absence or snow days will be made up. Tuition is due regardless of missed lessons, and credit cannot be given for missed lessons.
Cancellation and Withdrawal If enrollment must be cancelled, a written notice prior to the 1st of the month is required. If notice is received after the 1st of the month, the tuition for the current month will still be charged. The written notice must be emailed to Theresa@PianoCentralStudios.com, faxed to the office at 864-232-0709, or mailed to the PCS Office at PO Box 31047, Greenville, SC, 29608.
Materials and Supplies Kindermusik At Home materials are included, and will be given out at the first class of each new session. Materials are not needed for class, but are designed for your use and enjoyment at home.
Students taking instrumental, vocal, or art lessons can expect about $30-$40 of music expenses throughout the year. Notification of bills for music or extra supplies will be sent as needed. These charges will be applied to your account, and charged at the same time as the current month’s payment.
Students taking instrumental lessons need an instrument in the home for daily practice. Practice requirements and goals will vary according to teacher assignments and student levels. The more practice, the more progress!
Parental Involvement Parental support is crucial to the success of each student. To keep parents informed, we regularly communicate via email or flyers. Students in vocal or instrumental lessons also have an assignment notebook to facilitate communication between studio and home. As always, we welcome your feedback!
