Studio Policy
9/1/22 – 6/30/23
Registration
All new students have to register. Please fill in the registration form and return it to the
academy through email or in person. There will be a $30 registration fee.
Lesson
The first lesson/interview is free of charge. Piano lessons are offered weekly, in 30 minutes or
60 minutes in length. Students are expected to attend their weekly classes in a timely manner
and with all of the lesson materials prepared. Lessons will not be extended due to tardiness.
Tuition
30 min lesson -----$135 monthly
60 min lesson -----$250 monthly
Payment is collected monthly. We accept cash, checks, and online payments payable to SK
Piano Academy. We also accept credit card payments.
Payments and Late Fee
Tuition is due in full by the first week of each month. A $10 late fee will be charged if tuition is
not received by the end of the first week. There is no refund for missed lessons.
Practice
Students are expected to practice every day. The amount of practice time is dependent on the
student’s age and level and will be determined by their teacher. Parental guidance is essential
for younger students.
Cancellation and make-up lesson
We require at least one-week notice in advance (excluding emergencies) to grant a makeup
lesson. Each student can receive up to 3 makeup lessons per year to use in the event of
sickness, vacations, doctor appointments, etc. Unscheduled makeup lessons will be forfeited
after one month.
When you sign up for a lesson time, we reserve that time slot each week specifically for you.
Therefore, you will be billed for that time slot for the entire school year. There are no refunds
for missed lessons with less than a 24-hour notice except for emergencies. If the teacher
cancels the lesson, it will be rescheduled or refunded.
Recitals and Performances
There will be recitals held biannually and various competitions throughout the year. All
students are strongly encouraged to utilize the opportunity of performances as a delightful and
exhilarating experience. In addition, it is beneficial for students to have the chance to share
their performances as well as to listen to their peers.
National Holidays
SK Piano Academy will be open on most national holidays. However, lessons that would usually
occur on these can be made up at both the student and teacher’s convenience with at least one
week advance notice.
We will be closed on the following days:
Thanksgiving Break Nov 21 – Nov 26
Winter Break Dec 20– Jan 3
Spring Break Apr 10 – Apr 15
Termination Policy
The teacher retains the right to dismiss any students for reasons including, but not limited to
excessive absences, unpaid tuition, or abuse of studio property. If students wish to terminate
lessons, we will refund the student any remaining balance left in that month.
Media Consent
By enrolling in SK Piano Academy and signing this studio policy, the student and their
guardian(s) consent to and authorize SK Piano Academy to use video-audio recordings and
photographs of the student for promotional and educational purposes only. We will notify
students before any material is used. Please get in touch with us if you wish to have any
material removed.
Video Surveillance
A video surveillance system is used in the studio during lessons. This system records every
aspect of the activities in the studio. We will not use the video obtained from this system for
purposes other than evaluating the effectiveness of the music instruction and safety concerns.
Under no circumstances will the videotape be shown to third parties without parents' consent
or pursuant to a court order.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding anything, don't hesitate to contact your primary
teacher. If there is a substantial problem that you cannot satisfactorily resolve with your
teacher, please get in touch with the director, Simeon Kim, at simeonhkim@gmail.com.
