Tuition Details

Playtime Music Studio runs on a flat monthly tuition during the school year (September–May). This structure keeps things simple and predictable for families. Monthly tuition reserves your child’s weekly lesson time and covers far more than the minutes spent at the piano, such as lesson planning, recitals, curriculum development, communication, studio equipment, and ongoing support throughout the week.

During the summer (June–August), lessons continue with per-lesson payments. This gives families and teachers the flexibility to travel, adjust schedules, and choose the weeks that work best for them while still keeping their child’s musical progress moving forward.

School year Tuition (September-May):

Weekly 30 min lessons	$100/ month
Weekly 45 min lessons	$150/ month
Twice weekly lessons/Accelerated Program- (2x30 min)	$190/ month

First month of lessons: If a student enrols, for example, in the middle of a month, you pay per lesson (see summer tuition) until the start of a new complete month.

Note: Tuition is the same, regardless of lessons attended.

Scheduling: Upon Enrollment, each student gets a reserved lesson time for the full school year. This time remains the same each week unless otherwise arranged with the teacher.

Payment: Tuition is due at the first lesson of each month.

Student Absences: If a student must miss a lesson, please notify the teacher as early as possible. Missed lessons by the students are non-refundable. The teacher will try their best to schedule a makeup lesson based on their availability; however, it is not guaranteed.

Teacher cancellation: If the teacher must cancel a scheduled lesson during the school year, one of the following will occur:

1. The lesson will be rescheduled at a mutually convenient time within the same month, or
2. If rescheduling is not possible, the student will receive one additional lesson added to the following month at no extra cost.

*In rare cases/emergencies, the studio may issue a refund.

Studio closed days/holidays: The Studio Calendar will be available on the website each year. Lessons that fall on these days cannot be made up or refunded.

Summer Tution (June- August):

30-min lesson	$25/ lesson
45-min lesson	$38/ lesson
Twice weekly lesson (2x 30min) - available to ALL STUDENTS	$40/ week

 

Note: To adjust to the unpredictable summer schedule, Playtime Music Studio will be providing weekly tuition.

Scheduling: Lessons must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. However, since lesson spots fill up fast and to guarantee your preferred lesson time, it is recommended to book your lessons well in advance, preferably at the beginning of the summer.

Payment: Tuition is due on the day of the lesson.

Student Cancellation: If a student must miss a lesson, please notify the teacher as early as possible. More than 12 hours’ notice: Lessons may be rescheduled at the teacher’s discretion.
Less than 12 hours’ notice or no-show: A $10 cancellation fee applies.

Teacher Cancellation: The teacher will communicate any planned travel or absences before scheduling lessons.
If a lesson has already been booked and the teacher must cancel, a makeup lesson may be offered at the teacher’s discretion, depending on schedule availability.

Studio closed days/holidays: The Studio Calendar will be available on the website each year. Lessons that fall on these days cannot be made up or refunded.
