Hello and Thanks for reading this important mumbo jumbo!

Our policies help us maintain high standards that help guarantee an optimal learning and teaching environment.

TUITION (scroll all the way down to see rates)

• Tuition is divided into 12 monthly installments and includes Summer. Tuition is due the last week of each month.
  Late tuition accrues a $25 late fee.
  Tuition is billed monthly and paid directly to your teacher. We appreciate auto-payments from your bank or Venmo or even cash!

Your monthly tuition includes:

🎶  36 private lessons + 9 Group Class weeks + 2 Solo Recitals + 2 Group Class Concerts (+ a minimum of 6 summer lessons) 
🎶  Various Academy-wide practice challenges
🎶  Invitations for Master Classes, Workshops, Special classes (*guest clinicians will set their own additional fees)
🎶 Studying music in a vibrant, joyful environment full of instruments, kids, adults and music.

ONLINE or IN-PERSON PRIVATE LESSONS?

• Most of our lessons are in-person. Zoom is great if there’s illness or you make an arrangement with your teacher.

• Please note: Parents of kids 10 yrs and under are required to be present & to take notes/photos during lessons.

• It is encouraged that the same parent attend each week (we call that “the practice parent”).

STUDENT-MISSED LESSONS?

• There are no makeups nor refunds for student-missed lessons.

• For planned absences, consider swapping lessons with another student. Your teacher can help connect you.

• If you have to cancel please give your teacher 24-hour advanced notice, if possible.

• Please communicate your absence directly with your teacher. (text is best)

• Teachers will wait 15 minutes for a late arrival or 10 minutes for an online lesson. After this time, the lesson is forfeited.

TEACHER-MISSED LESSONS? If your teacher needs to cancel a lesson you will have a make-up lesson.

SICK DAY POLICY FOR MSA TEACHERS: Mosaic teachers have 3-paid-sick days per school year, without makeup lessons being offered.  This is a sustainable and humane way for our teachers to continue offering their best selves to their students.

GROUP CLASSES: Attendance at Group Class is required (adult students can opt out).
Each class works from arrangements of parts.
The classes and the resulting music are most enjoyed when every student shows commitment with reliable attendance.

• All Group classes are during the first full week each month. For example, if Monday is Sep 30th and Tuesday is October 1, that is not a full week. Monday - Friday of Group Class Week must be in the same month.

• During this week there are no private lessons unless your teacher says differently.

CONCERTS: Attendance at Concerts is required (adult students can opt out).
Students at MSA perform four times a school year.
Solo Concerts are in typically in winter and spring. Our Group Concerts are in January & June.
