Tuition & Payment Plan

• The SMMA students can register for 30, 45 and 60-minute lessons once or twice a week. To ensure the quality of music education and good progress we highly recommend all students older than 8 y.o. to take at least 45-min. lessons. The 2023-2024 school fees are $36/30 min., $51/45 min., and $65/hour. We offer a free trial lesson to every prospective student. Registration is open year-round, and merit and need-based scholarships are available.

• Monthly tuition is due on the 15th of each month by personal checking account draft (ACH). Payment by cash or check is accepted; however, we do not accept credit cards.

• The annual payment plan runs from September to August and is divided into twelve monthly payments. The annual tuition amount consists of the overall number of lessons in a 12-month period multiplied by the lesson rate. All holidays, school breaks and vacations are deducted from the 12-month payment plan. While some months may have fewer lessons than others, the monthly payment always stays the same.

• $50 registration fee and $25 access card fee are required for all new students.

• All cash payments are due on the 1st of the month.

• A Late Fee of $30 will be assessed for all late or declined payments.

• The Academy reserves the right to suspend lessons until the student account is paid in full.
