• Tuition varies according to type and length of the lesson. See the registration form for prices.
• There is a one-time $10 registration fee per family.
• Tuition is paid monthly, and is due by the last day of the prior month in order for instruction to continue in the next month; for example, the fee for February lessons is due by January 31. If the studio does not receive payment prior to instruction, it will be assumed that the student is not returning, and the student may forfeit his/her lesson slot.

Students choose a lesson day and time which will remain the same each week. This is necessary to avoid schedule conflicts at the studio. If the lesson time later becomes impossible for the student, the studio management will attempt to find another lesson time, but this cannot be guaranteed. Changes in lesson time are permanent changes, not "for a week or two"; if a lesson time is not possible for a short amount of time, such as during a vacation, the student must continue to pay for that time to reserve it..

Due to tight scheduling, it is important for students to arrive on time, since the lesson must end on time.

There are no refunds for absences, and students pay for their reserved time even if they do not attend. This policy applies to the months of January -May and September - November. The monthly charge rule will not apply during June, July, August, and December; during those months, students may choose the weeks they will attend. However, payment in advance is still required.

Locally-based teachers will grant one make-up lesson per quarter (3 months), but only if the teacher is informed that the student is not coming before the lesson time. Students may not request a make-up lesson after the fact. Teachers who travel to our studio from out-of-town do not provide make up lessons.

If an instructor must miss a lesson due to illness, inclement weather, or performance obligations, the student will be notified in advance. If payment has already been made, the student will receive a refund. Students of local teachers may choose a make-up time instead of a refund (this will not count as the quarterly make-up mentioned above.)

Sudio closings for holidays will be posted in advance.

There will be no charge if the lesson day falls on any of these days. Please note that if schools are closed due to inclement weather, this does not mean music classes are automatically cancelled. If the instructor is unable to attend due to weather conditions, the student will be notified and the lesson will be made up or the fee refunded. If the instructor is able to come to the studio, lessons will be held.

There will be a $25 fee for returned checks. Students must pay this fee plus the amount of the returned check before lessons may resume.

The Salisbury School of Music reserves the right to cancel classes with insufficient registration. A refund will be given. The School of Music also reserves the right to discontinue a student for non payment of fees or disruptive behavior.

Materials Tuition does not include printed materials. Students may buy books and sheet music through the School or from any music retail outlet. Your instructor will let you know what books, etc. you will need.
