Annual Piano Tuition includes:

38 Piano Lessons: 32 during the school year and 6 flexible week options during summer

2 Make-up options during the school year as shown on the calendar

2-3 Recitals per year hosted by Portzline Music Academy

Extensive Lending Library to explore a variety of music

Piano Marvel digital piano program available for studio use

Organ Training with church music emphasis for more advanced students

Other Performance Opportunities:

National Federation of Music Clubs: Solo Festival, Concerto/Duet Festival, and other events are available. These festivals include judges, scores and trophy awards. $12.50 per student per event.

Additional events may be recommended according to an individual student’s needs and ability.

The Family Discount offered when 3 or more students per family are enrolled is $10.00 off per month for the 3rd child, the 4th child, and so forth.

*Monthly payments are due on the 15th of each month. Payments received after this date will be charged a $10.00 late fee. These monthly installments are averaged based on the yearly tuition cost of 38 lessons from August—July. If a student begins after August, tuition will be adjusted according to the number of lessons that remain available. Students who enroll at the end of the school year will pay for 6 summer lessons, and then will begin paying the monthly tuition in August.

Students who drop out of lessons (including summer) will not be guaranteed a place back in the studio, but can be put on a waiting list if requested. (Students dropping out during Portzline Music Academy’s August–July piano year may either need to pay extra tuition, or receive a refund if their current payments are not closely equivalent to the number of lessons they have received.)

Piano Lesson Options:  The lesson types described below fit most students, but individual needs and circumstances will be prioritized as much as possible. Another teacher may be recommended if the student is not thriving in my studio.	Annual Tuition	Monthly Payments*	Per Lesson
60-Minute Group Lessons for 3-4 students of mixed ages & levels allow students more supervised practice time, giving them a “jump start” for more correct and efficient practicing at home.	$1200.00	$100.00	~$31.60
30-Minute Private Lessons can be beneficial for students who are sufficiently independent to practice correctly, effectively, and consistently during their home practice time.	$1200.00	$100.00	~$31.60
45-Minute Private Lessons are intended for Intermediate to Advanced students beyond method books, who are serious enough about their piano studies to hone the technical and theoretical skills needed to take their piano playing and their overall musicianship to a higher level of expertise.	$1680.00	$140.00	~$44.20
