Studio Policy
9/1/21 – 6/30/22
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 $25 registration fee.
Lesson
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 lessons in a timely manner and with all of the lesson materials prepared. Lessons will not be extended due to tardiness.
Tuition
30 min lesson -----$125 monthly
60 min lesson -----$240 monthly
Payment is collected monthly. We accept cash, online payments (Zelle, google pay, apple pay), and checks payable to SK Piano Academy.
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. Parents’ guidance is encouraged for younger students.
Cancellation and make-up lesson
Make-up lessons are not guaranteed and will only be considered if given at least one week's advance notice and/or prior arrangements. Missed lessons are non-refundable, with an exception for emergencies. If the teacher cancels the lesson, it will be rescheduled or refunded.
Recitals and Performances
There will be recitals and master classes regularly. All students are strongly encouraged to utilize the opportunity of performances as a delightful and exhilarating experience. It is very beneficial for students to have such interactive chances to share their own musical voices and also be inspired by others.
National Holidays
SK Piano Academy will be open on most national holidays. However, lessons that would normally occur on these can be made up at both the student and teacher’s convenience.
We will be closed on these following days with no make-ups:
Thanksgiving Break Nov 25 – Nov 30
Winter Break Dec 21 – Jan 3
Spring Break Apr 13 – Apr 18
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 ask that you give us a two-week notice.
Media Consent
By enrolling in SK Piano Academy and signing this studio policy, the student and his/her 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. Involved parties will be notified before any material is used. Please contact us if you wish for any material to be removed.
Video Surveillance
A video surveillance system is used in the studio when lessons are being provided. This system records every aspect of the activities in the studio. The video obtained from this system will not be used for any purposes other than evaluating the effectiveness of the music instruction being provided and safety concerns. Under no circumstances, will the videotape be shown to third parties without the consent of parents or pursuant to a court order.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding anything, please contact your primary teacher. If there is a problem of substantial nature that you are not able to satisfactorily resolve with your teacher, then please contact the director, Simeon Kim, at simeonhkim@gmail.com.
