Simple, honest pricing.

Every lesson is 50 minutes, one-on-one, in person in Ukrainian Village or on Zoom. The studio runs on semesters: enroll to reserve your weekly time all term at the best rate, or stay flexible and book lesson by lesson. No contracts you can’t exit, no surprise fees, and if the first month isn’t working, you owe nothing more.

Build something

Semester Enrollment — $100/lesson

The studio’s home base. One weekly time that’s yours for the whole semester — evening slots go to enrolled students first. Sixteen weeks is long enough to actually build something: real repertoire, technique that sticks, progress you can hear.

  • Billed $400 every 4 weeks on four common dates, or $1,550 prepaid (save $50 — bank transfer preferred)
  • Two make-up dates each semester, plus a video-lesson option when you travel
  • The first-month guarantee: if it’s not working in your first four lessons, you owe nothing more
  • Join mid-semester anytime — you pay only for the weeks remaining
  • Fall: Aug 24 – Dec 18 · Spring: Jan 4 – May 21 · Summer: 8 flexible lessons
