Amanda Kerr's Suzuki Violin and Fiddle Studio

Families will need to commit to attending and paying for the full Spring (January through May) and/or Fall (August through December) Semesters. 

Summer lessons (June through August) are scheduled first-come first-serve and are billed monthly based on your attendance.  

~Baby & Toddler Classes: 

(For families of students ages 4 & under.)

Held Mondays at 3:30pm or Saturdays at 10:00am. This non-instrument specific class prepares families of younger children with all the skills needed to begin private lessons by age 4 or 5. (Families who have graduated from this class will receive discounted tuition on their first semester of private lessons!)   

$25 per class x 14 = $350

Fall Semester Missed Lessons Credit (two classes) = -$50

Fall Semester Materials Fee = $30

TOTAL: $330

~Pre-Twinkle Violin: 

(For families of students ages 4 & up who are working towards graduating their twinkles.)

Pre-Twinkle students should be taking weekly 30 min. private lessons (scheduled Tue, Wed, Thu, or Fri afternoons) and group classes every other week. Pre-Twinkle group classes are held every other Monday at 4:30 or every other Saturday at 1:30. 

$55 private lessons (30 min.) x 14 = $770

$30 group classes x 7 = $210

Fall Semester Missed Lessons Credit (two lessons & one class) = -$140

Fall Semester Materials, Accompanist, & Recital Fee = $50

TOTAL: $890

~Twinkle Graduate Violin & Fiddle:

(For families of beginner through advanced students who have graduated their Twinkles.)

Twinkle Graduate students should be taking weekly 45 min. private lessons (scheduled Tue, Wed, Thu, or Fri afternoons) and group classes every other week. Book 1, and Book 2+ group classes are held every other Monday at 5:00 or every other Saturday at 2:00.

$60 private lessons (45 min.) x 14 = $840

$35 group classes x 7 = $245

Fall Semester Missed Lessons Credit (two lessons & one class) = -$155

Fall Semester Materials, Accompanist, & Recital Fee = $70

TOTAL: $1,000

~Scholarships:

I want to make sure every child has the opportunity to start their music lesson journey no matter their family's financial status. This is why I will be offering families the opportunity to study with a partial, full, or materials scholarship. In addition to providing a brief explanation for their need for scholarship on their registration form, these families will have a few extra responsibilities for attendance and logging their practice throughout the semester. Families that can afford to contribute to the scholarship fund are encouraged to do so when registering for lessons.

~Missed Lessons Credit: 

While I encourage every family to try their best to attend every scheduled lesson, I know that the occasional emergency or schedule conflict will happen. For this reason, each family will have a few lessons subtracted from their semester tuition invoice as a form of insurance. (Two private lessons for weekly students or one private lesson for every-other-week students.) Please note that additional missed lessons will not be reimbursed but can be rescheduled if time is available, or made-up in the form of a practice-video.

~Late Payment Fee:

Payment is due one week after your first lesson. A $10 late payment fee will be charged each week after the payment due date if payment is not made on time.
