Tuition Rates and Registration

The one-time registration fee is $40 for the first family member and $10 for every additional family member.

Tuition rates are as follows:

• 20-Minute Private Lessons (ages 4-7): $105/month
• 30-Minute Private Lessons (ages 5-adult): $152/month
• 45-Minute Private Lessons (ages 9+): $225/month
• 60-Minute a-la-carte Private Lesson (ages 9+): $75/lesson
• 40 Minute Private/Paired Combo (ages 5-8): $152/month (per student)
• 30-Minute Paired Lessons (all ages): $105/month (per student)

Travel Fee:

For In-Home lessons, a $55/month additional travel fee is added to tuition (depending on location).

The tuition rates are based on four monthly lessons, so you pay a standard tuition each month. Tuition is processed on the first (1st) of each month and applies to the concurrent month. Typically, this payment is processed with AutoPay from the card you entered on the registration form. You can change payment information in the Parent Portal. Payments may also be made via check by placing the check in the payment drop box at the DaVinci Center. Check payments are due on the first (1st) of each month.

PLEASE NOTE: There is a $30 late fee for payments that are 10 or more days late.

Tuition Balancing:

The first month of lessons is always prorated according to the lessons actually taken if starting mid-month.  After that, although some months (actually 4 per year) have five lessons, you only pay for 4 lessons per month, always. Tuition is based on 48 lessons per year. This is balanced out with the DaVinci Holiday Schedule when there are only 3 lessons/per month.

DaVinci Holiday Weeks (no lessons):

• July 4th week
• Thanksgiving week
• Christmas week
• New Years’ week

Trial Lessons

One free trial lesson per student is available upon request before the student’s first lesson. Please note that not all DaVinci teachers offer a free trial lesson but may offer a brief meet-and-greet opportunity.  If the student decides to continue with lessons after the trial, the trial lesson will be added to the first month’s bill.

Canceling/Disenrolling from Lessons:

When disenrolling from lessons, please provide a one-month written notice to the office. This is to give the billing team time to make the necessary adjustments to auto-pay.  We cannot guarantee a refund for missed lessons within this one-month time frame when insufficient notice is given and the student stops lessons early.   

Make-up Lessons

LIVE makeup lessons are generally given when the teacher has to cancel a lesson (see details below.)   When students cancel lessons the lesson will be made up upon parent request, and will be provided in the form of a video that is recorded by the teacher during the student’s missed lesson time.

To receive a video make-up, a request must be sent before the start time of the missed lesson, to the teacher via text, email or phone call. 

There is no limit to receiving video make- ups, but no more than one video make-up lesson will be provided per missed lesson.

How Do the Video Make-Ups Work?

Video make-ups consist of a brief, personalized video recorded by the student’s teacher. Video length will vary depending on the student’s scheduled lesson length. This video will focus on new and reviewed concepts. Videos will be sent to the parent within the same day of the missed lesson.  Along with the video, the student may be sent a music theory and/or composition activity (appropriate to their skill level) to complete at home and bring to their next lesson.

What Happens if My Teacher Cancels?

There are three options when a lesson is cancelled by the teacher. These options can be discussed and mutually agreed upon by the student and teacher:

• A standard, in-person make-up scheduled for another day/time mutually agreed upon by the student and teacher.
• The student can attend two Harmony Classes, or two Performance Parties using the second one to count as a makeup lesson.
• Students can attend their Harmony Class AND have a private lesson that week as arranged with their teacher.  Normally the Harmony Class and Performance Party IS the lesson for the week, but if a makeup is needed, preemptive or in the past, a private lesson during one of these HC or PP weeks is acceptable.  
• A substitute teacher, scheduled by the teacher or the Director.   The sub must be another DaVinci teacher – no outside substitutes unless previously arranged with the Director.
• A video make-up lesson, sent to the parent (and student if applicable).
