All students will be charged a non-refundable, annual membership fee of $50 per student or $75 per family per fiscal year (July through June). Discounted fees will be provided for a complete registration before July 15, 2025 ($40 Individual, $60 Family). Lessons will not commence until membership and first payment is received before lessons. Registration will not be accepted if there is a balance owing on your account. (NOTE: MYC Students have a separate registration fee, which is MYC Materials.)
The full school year consists of approximately 36 weekly lessons beginning September 1, 2025 and ending June 2026. In most cases, no lessons will be taught during public school holidays such as Christmas Break and Spring Break periods, or on statutory holidays. These dates are not normally included in the lesson schedule or on your invoice. Some faculty members may request a revised schedule. You will be invoiced according to the lessons scheduled with that faculty member.
Tuition for the entire year will be invoiced in September (or when the student begins for the year, if later than September). Please note the change in our billing and payment procedures.
All billing will go through TeacherZone and will be set up as monthly billing through your bank or credit card payment.
Note: MYC Students have the option of 10 monthly payments, September through June. However, registration must be paid upfront through the office before beginning classes, and only the fees will run through TeacherZone.
At the end of the school year, unused credits will be carried forward unless a refund is requested.
When a student registers they are effectively reserving the teacher’s time for the schedule set during registration. If a student is absent with or without notice to a previously scheduled lesson, the teacher will be paid for this lesson time. The school is under no obligation to provide refunds or make-up lessons. However, if a student knows that there will be a conflict with a lesson ahead of time and notifies the teacher more than two weeks in advance of the scheduled lesson, the teacher will make an effort to find an appropriate time for a make-up lesson. Any exceptions to this policy that favour the student are at the discretion of the teacher. Out of courtesy, it is requested that any absence be reported in advance to the music school administration and teacher.
The Music School reserves the right to discontinue the lessons of any student who is consistently late or absent.
If the teacher is absent, with or without notice, the student’s lesson must be made up at an appropriate time, or the student will receive a credit on account.
Students withdrawing from private lessons are required to provide written notice to the school office a minimum of 14 days prior to the date of their last charged lesson. Notice given to the teacher will not be considered official written notice. The winter holiday period and spring break will not count towards the 14-day notice period. Following withdrawal notice, the student will be charged for all lessons previously scheduled in the 14-day period and may choose to attend those lessons or not. Unused fees will be returned. No refunds will be granted for private instruction without 14 days prior notice.
In extraordinary circumstances, when in-person lessons are no longer advisable according to health regulations, or due to the closure of the physical school, the following special withdrawal policies will apply:
If alternative lessons can be provided either online, or at another suitable location, the regular withdrawal policy will remain in effect.
If the alternative presented is unreasonable for the student, all lessons will be immediately placed on hold for a period of thirty (30) days. During this period, no lessons will be charged, nor any additional fees be collected. At the end of the (30) day period, the administration will work with the student to determine the appropriate outcome based on projected timelines whether it be formal withdrawal, an extension of the holding period, or alternative measures.
If, for whatever reason, a teacher decides to withdraw from teaching obligations, or hold off from providing lessons, the school will work with the student to determine suitable options.
There will be no make-up lessons or credits issued for missed classes.
No refunds will be given to students who choose to withdraw from group classes, with exception to Music for Young Children classes. Parents who wish to withdraw a child from Music for Young Children must give a minimum of one month written notice to the office and will be charged for the one-month notice period. Notice given to the teacher will not be considered official written notice.
In extraordinary circumstances, when in-person lessons are no longer advisable due to health regulations, or the closure of the physical school, the following special withdrawal policies will apply:
If alternative group classes can be provided either online, or another suitable location, the regular withdrawal policy will remain in effect.
If the alternative presented is unreasonable for the student, all lessons will be immediately placed on hold for a period of thirty (30) days. During this period, no lessons will be charged, nor any additional fees be collected. At the end of the (30) day period, the administration will work with the student to determine the appropriate outcome, whether it be formal withdrawal, extension of suspension, or alternative measures.
If, for whatever reason, a teacher decides to withdraw from teaching obligations, or suspend lessons, the school will work with the student to determine options. Should the school of music cancel the group class all together, credits will be issued for all remaining classes.
The Student & Parent/Guardian Code of Conduct is integral to lesson arrangements. The Music School reserves the right to discontinue the lessons of any student who breaches this code of conduct, initiating an immediate withdrawal process.
