Here are some questions and answers about the Music Clubhouse, our programs and class policies.
If you would like to suggest a question for this page, please email the director.
Can a child enter Piano Detectives Club at any point in the year?
It depends on the child’s age and ability, and on the size of existing classes. Occasionally, we add a new student into an existing class if the child has previous piano study or if the child is willing to take some private lessons (at additional cost) along with Detectives in order to “catch up” with the group. Parents should contact the director for evaluation and placement if pursuing this option. Of course, if placement in a Piano Detectives Club class is not possible, private lessons are always available.
What if my child cannot attend a Piano Detectives Class?
There are no refunds for missed classes or lessons. You can, however, request a copy of the missed assignment be sent to you via email.
What happens if the Music Clubhouse cancels a class due to inclement weather?
We will notify all affected students in the event of an inclement weather closing. All classes and lessons cancelled due to inclement weather will be rescheduled.
Why is tuition paid out over a 12-month period?
In order to make lessons accessible to students at a reasonable monthly cost, and to give them the instruction they need WHEN they need it, we choose to have tuition paid over a span of 12 months. With the switch from a 35-week year to a 40-week year, you are getting the value of every dollar you spend. This also gives us flexibility in how we get those lessons in. If a student needs an extra lesson or two before a recital or competition, they will all count toward the total of the 40-lesson year.
