How classes work
Simple, steady, and built around your child.
1
Small groups
Children learn in small groups of a similar age and level, so every child gets real attention every single week.
2
Weekly classes
Consistent weekly lessons build the habit and momentum that make new skills actually stick.
3
Practice & support
Short, friendly at-home practice plus regular teacher feedback keeps progress moving between classes.
4
Progress over time
We track each child's growth and adjust the pace — so they're always challenged, never overwhelmed.
Paying for it
The whole arrangement, before you commit to anything.
- What it costs
- The per-lesson price on this page is the rate for coming once a week. Coming more often lowers it — each class shows its own rates.
- How you're billed
- One invoice a month, due on the 1st, for the lessons on your child's schedule that month. With auto-pay on we charge your card that day.
- What we don't charge for
- Days we're closed and any lesson we cancel come off the bill. A lesson your child misses stays on it — the seat and the teacher were held.
- No refunds
- Lesson payments are not refunded. You can stop at any time, which ends future lessons and future charges — but it does not reverse a payment already made.
