Tuition
$100 per lesson. Billed $400 every 4 weeks, starting the day you enroll; each payment adds four lessons to your account. There is no term and no re-enrollment. It simply keeps going until you cancel.
Your weekly time
You pick a regular weekly slot when you enroll, and it’s held for you for as long as you’re a weekly student. Evening times go to weekly students first. If your schedule changes, we move it; the slot follows you, not the calendar.
Starting
Anytime. There’s nothing to catch up on and no date to wait for. Your 4-week cycle starts the day you enroll, so a student who starts in the middle of October is on exactly the same footing as one who started in August.
The first-month guarantee
If it’s not working within your first four lessons, tell me and you owe nothing more. You keep only the first $400 payment. No hard feelings; finding the right teacher matters more than keeping a sale.
Stopping later
Cancel anytime before your next payment date, from your client account or by emailing me. Nothing further is charged. The current 4-week cycle isn’t refunded, but any lessons you’ve already paid for stay yours to use; ask and I’ll extend them. Your weekly slot is released at the end of the cycle.
Unused lessons roll over
While you’re enrolled, a lesson you didn’t use stays in your account: a week the studio was closed, a week you rescheduled and nothing was open. Twice a year, in January and June, I check every student’s balance, and anyone three or more lessons ahead has their next payment pushed back a cycle. You will never be asked to pay for lessons you already hold.
Missed lessons
With 24+ hours notice, I’ll move your lesson if I have an opening that same week; if I don’t, the lesson is used. Under 24 hours or a no-show, the lesson is used. Sick? Tell me and stay home — illness is always handled, whatever the notice, and please never sing on a sore throat. Your weekly time is reserved for you and offered to no one else; that reservation is what the notice policy protects.
Studio closures
The studio closes for major holidays and a few weeks a year, posted in advance on the schedule page. A closed week simply doesn’t use a lesson; the credit rolls over. If I cancel a lesson outside those dates, you choose another opening that week or the lesson stays in your account.
Payments
Autopay by card every 4 weeks, with a reminder email a week before each payment. If a card fails, update it from your client account and lessons continue as normal; your slot is released after 30 days unpaid. If the lesson rate ever changes, you’ll have at least 30 days’ notice.
Extra lessons
Weekly students can add individual lessons anytime at their $100 rate, subject to studio availability — before an audition, over a break, whenever.
Summer
The studio runs year-round. Keep your weekly lessons going through summer and your slot is yours in the fall, no re-enrolling. Taking a couple of weeks off? The credits roll over. Away for longer? Tell me and I’ll pause your billing until you’re back.
Refer a friend
Refer a friend who joins as a weekly student, and once they’re a month in, you get a lesson on me.
Flex options (no reserved slot)
Single lesson $125. Flex 4-Pack $450 ($112.50/lesson), credits valid one year, booked from open times. Flex credits are unaffected by going weekly — use them anytime.
Lessons
50 minutes, one-on-one, in person at the Ukrainian Village studio. Zoom is available for weeks you’re traveling or under the weather.
