Whether your goal is to become a professional player, just learn enough to play as a hobby, or to supplement your school's instrumental program, we can help you reach your potential. Our tuition structure ensures teacher consistency and quality.

Lessons consist of one private, thirty-minute lesson per week held at the same day and time each week. Please read the complete policy outlined below carefully and feel free to ask questions prior to enrollment. We are available to help you in any way needed with your enrollment and study needs.

Tuition & Attendance Policy

• Lessons are scheduled by the month. Advance payment reserves the day and time of your lessons.

• Tuition is $30.00/half hour, 4 Lessons = $120.00, 5 Lessons = $150.00

• One month's tuition is due upon scheduling. Tuition is non-refundable.

• Re-enrollment payment for lessons must be made by the last day of each month to remain on the next month's schedule.

• No refunds, make-ups, or credit will be issued for missed or discontinued lessons after they are scheduled.

• In the event of a teacher absence, we will provide another qualified teacher. Only if this is not possible will a lesson credit be issued. We reserve the right to substitute a teacher whenever it may be necessary.

• New students may begin mid-month. Tuition will be pro-rated. Students with lessons falling on National Holidays when Hix Bros. Music is closed will have the individual lesson cost of $30.00 subtracted from that month's total or receive a lesson credit for the next month.

• You may miss up to 4 lessons in a calendar year without being charged if you give one week's notice.
