We follow a monthly subscription model, charging a flat monthly rate that includes all costs associated with lessons including weekly lessons, mid-week access to your teacher, curriculum and other learning resources, recitals, and admin charges.  These costs are averaged over the school year (Sept - May)  to arrive at a rate that remains the same each month regardless of the number of lessons in a particular month.  Discounts are built-in to longer lessons that can be shared between siblings.
