towards 10 private flute lessons.
SCHEDULE
Music Lessons are available year round:
Academic year: September 1st through June 30th

The Academic Year 2022/2023 consists of:
30 weeks of private instructions
4 theme-based group lessons scheduled throughout the Academic year (September-June)
2 Recitals (Winter and late Spring)
4 piano rehearsals with a professional pianist
4 Summer lessons (July-August)
For students, enrolling after the start of the Academic year, the number of lessons in the sign up month will be prorated and a regular flat monthly payment will be scheduled, starting the following month.
ANNUAL REGISTRATION FEE
A registration fee of $50 must accompany each student's registration form and payment for tuition. This fee helps to cover administrative costs (printing, postage, supplies, awards); reserves the student's place in the studio; and recognizes our mutual commitment to a year of study.
The annual fee is non-refundable and is due at the time of registration with a completed registration form for each new and returning student, even if a student starts lessons after the school year started.
Registration is complete when a registration fee has been received by Yulia Berry’s Flute Studio, along with setting up recurring payments at the student portal on our website or giving post-dated checks or paying in full.
WHAT ELSE COMES WITH THE TUITION?
Additional piano rehearsals - the number and length of needed additional piano rehearsals will be determined individually, depending on the student level, progress, goal and the accompanist' availability. The students will be billed for the rehearsals separately.
FLAT MONTHLY RATES
ANNUAL tuition (September 1 - August 31) is divided into 10 equal payments. (Those are NOT monthly rates)
10 equal payments
30 minute weekly lessons plus all bonuses - 10 payments of $280
45 minute weekly lessons plus all bonuses - 10 payments $330
60 minute weekly lessons plus all bonuses - 10 payments of $360
*An extended lesson time (90 minutes), coaching and a la carte lessons are available upon request, but have to be approved by Ms.Berry. For intermediate/advanced level only.
Paying 10 equal payments with a credit card: Our Student Portal uses secure Stripe online processing. You will need to enable the auto-debit option in your account at the student portal during or after the registration process, if you choose this option. You will receive your payment statements and receipts on the 1st day of the month.
*There will be a 3% fee by Stripe for Credit Card processing.
Paying with 10 post-dated checks: If you choose to pay with post-dated checks, all 10 checks must be given prior starting the lessons. Post-dated checks (1st day of each month, made to Yulia Berry's Flute Studio) cannot be deposited before the date written on the check, so this way you break your annual tuition into 10 monthly payments, using post-dated checks.
Paying with 5 post-dated checks: break the annual tuition into 5 payments. The dates on the checks should be: September 1, November 1, January 1, March 1, May 1.
Paying in full: You can also choose to pay in full with a check or a credit card.
Please, note: There is no other option to pay your tuition, except a full payment or post-dated checks or 10 auto-pay payments through the Studio's website. Only completed registrations qualify to start lessons at Yulia Berry’s Flute Studio.
MISSED LESSONS
Regular attendance is expected and encouraged in order to gain maximum benefit from music instruction, however, missed lessons are inevitable. To be eligeable for a makeup lesson, I require a 24 hour notice. Remember, teacher cannot re-sell your missed time slot and giving makeup lessons takes double time from the teacher's schedule.
If you need to miss a lesson, you’ll receive an online lesson through Zoom in the available time that will be offered to you by the teacher.
In case of Inclement Weather, you will be offered an online video lesson at your regular lesson time.
If the teacher must miss a lesson, she will offer you a few makeup choices and dates or will credit a missed lesson to your account.
No credits or refunds are given, if a student chooses to miss a lesson or a make up option. Tuition remains consistent regardless of the number of lessons attended.
DISMISSAL AND TERMINATION
If for any reason you must stop lessons, a one month notice is required.
At that time, I will pro-rate the tuition for your final month to reflect the number of lessons that you have received based on the last lesson date. You will be required to pay this balance within 30 days. After this recurring payments will be cancelled and all post-dated checks returned to you.
Regrettably, I will have to dismiss a student if any of these circumstances occurs:
• Failure to pay tuition on time
• Persistent absences
• Uncooperative attitude
• Failure to follow practice as instructed
• Lack of progress due to insufficient practice or unfulfilled requirement.
AT THE LESSONS WE WILL WORK ON:
Teacher Responsibilities
Yulia Berry will provide a positive and enthusiastic atmosphere for learning and will offer many performance and enriching activities. She will continue to further her teaching skills and music knowledge by belonging to professional organizations, attending workshops, reading professional publications, and engaging in other activities leading to professional growth. Ms Berry will encourage a feeling of success at each student’s individual rate of learning and guide each student towards musical independence with a balanced program of theory, flute technique, ear-training, sight-reading and performance opportunities. She will make flute as fun and entertaining as possible!
Student Responsibilities
When students enroll, they are reserving their placement in the studio for the entire year. The enrollment agreement is a firm commitment and guarantees your place in the studio. Please understand that the tuition you pay reserves an exclusive weekly time in the schedule for your child. Unlike a doctor or a hairdresser, I cannot re-sell that time nor can I create extra teaching time in which to give lessons.
The student agrees to arrive at each lesson punctually, well-prepared, and with all necessary materials. If you arrive five minutes late, your lesson is five minutes shorter. You reserve the time slot, not the number of minutes.
ONLINE LESSONS
