Please acknowledge receipt and understanding of School Policies by signing the Gray School of

Music New Student Enrollment Forms.

1. Tuition

All payments are due on the first of the month. Lessons occur once a week at the same time every

week.

Here are our current tuition rates:

Private Lesson Length - Amount Per Month

30 minute lesson once a week - $180 per month

1 hour lesson once a week - $320 per month

Sibling rate, 2 children, 30 minutes each, once a week - $320 per month

Tuition is the same amount every month and is not adjusted for missed lessons. Once you

select a lesson time, we reserve that teacher’s time every week for you. Monthly tuition is based on a

yearly calendar.

NEW CHANGE IN POLICY: We will no longer be closing for the 5th week. In certain months you

will get 5 lessons, in certain months you will get 3 lessons, and in most months you will get 4 lessons,

but the charge is the same.

The only exceptions to this is:

1) December/January when we close for a 2 week period for the holidays. Tuition for these

months will be prorated for the closure.

2) If a teacher cancels. Please see #4 of this policy.

There is a one-time $25 registration fee per family. Longer lesson length availability is not

guaranteed and is based on the current availability of teachers. Tuition is subject to an annual

increase on June 1 of every year.

2. Payments

Enrollment is accepted anytime during the year and continues on a month-to-month basis. The

amount due at the 1st lesson is the 1st month’s tuition (pro-rated for the number of lessons in the 1st

month). Thereafter, your tuition is $180 due the 1st of every month

We accept card, cash, check and zelle payments. QR code for zelle can be found at the front desk or

at the end of this policy. Tuition paid by these methods is still due the 1st of the month. Zelle has an

option to set up auto-pay on your end. We are not responsible for automatic payments and you are

expected to cancel it on your end if you discontinue lessons as we do not have the access to cancel it

on our end.

3. Late fees

If tuition is not received by the first lesson, lessons will be halted until payment is received.

Additionally, a $30 late fee will be added to student’s account if not paid during the first week of

the month and student may be at risk of losing their spot.

4. Cancellations and Make-Up Lessons

Please let the school know of any missed lesson dates with as much notice as possible so that we

can inform your teacher.

If your student has two unexcused absences, the teacher may remove your student from the

schedule to make room for a new student. To avoid being removed from the schedule, please keep

teachers informed of when you can’t make lessons as well as when you intend to return.

For lessons missed by a student with a 24 hour notice of the absence, a make-up lesson can be

scheduled if the teacher’s schedule allows. However a make-up lesson is not guaranteed. No

make-ups for same day cancellations.

For lessons missed by a teacher, the school will attempt to provide a substitute teacher. If a

substitute teacher is unavailable, a make-up lesson with your teacher will be scheduled, or a $38

credit will be added to student’s account in the event a make-up is not possible.

5. Summer/Vacation Dates

The school operates year round and does not close for the summer. If you are taking multiple weeks

or months off for vacation and want to keep the same lesson time, your payment is still due on the 1st

of each month to reserve your lesson space. If not received, your teacher has the right to fill that spot

with a waiting student.

6. Trial Lesson Policy

Gray School of Music offers the option to take a 30-minute trial lesson at the cost of $40 per trial

lesson. If you decide to sign up for lessons, the cost of one trial lesson will be deducted from your 1st

month’s tuition.

7. Referral Program

Receive a $38 credit when you refer someone to our school and they sign up for at least one month

of lessons. Credit will be applied to the next month’s tuition.

8. Music Books and Materials

Music books, materials, and instruments are not included in the tuition and you will be responsible for

the payment. Your teacher will recommend which books to use and they can be purchased from us

or on your own. Amazon or sheetmusicplus.com has most music books in stock. Depending on a

student’s level and progression, the prices and frequency of new materials will vary.

9. Termination

To discontinue lessons and to discontinue charges to your account, fill out a withdrawal form before

the 15th of your last month. We do not prorate tuition for the last month’s lessons. Students will be

responsible for their last month’s tuition whether or not they attend lessons.

10. Non-Solicitation

You agree that you are a student of Gray School of Music and not of the teacher, and thus agree not

to accept any offers if a Gray School of Music teacher attempts to solicit you as a personal student.

You agree to notify Gray School of Music promptly if any teacher attempts to solicit you as a student

or attempts to receive payment from you outside of Gray School of Music.

11. Other

All students are expected to conduct themselves in a respectful manner. Gray School of Music

reserves the right to refuse instruction to any student at its discretion for reasons including but not

limited to unruly behavior, repeated declined payments, uncooperative parents, excessive tardiness,

or repeated absences.

Students must be picked up promptly after their lessons. Gray School of Music is not responsible for

providing supervision for students outside of teaching time or providing childcare for students or their

siblings. We assume no responsibility for children who are left unaccompanied. You agree to abide

by the most recent School Policies at all times.

12. Liability

Parents or legal guardians of minor students and adult students agree to indemnify and hold

harmless Gray School of Music, it’s instructors, employees, owners, agents, and representatives from

any and all claims or liabilities that may result from acts before, during or after student lessons,

events, or activities, either on or off studio premises, whether negligent or not, including hearing

damage or hearing loss.
