Studio Policies 2009-2010

Tuition: $30.00 per student per month, 3rd child $28.00, 4th child FREE

This fee is pro-rated and is the same each month, September-April as some months will have five lessons and some will have three. It is a monthly fee and not a by-the-class charge. Make-up classes are available (if a lesson is missed for illness or other unavoidable reason) by permission of the instructor. No extra fees are charged for specialty rehearsals or extra classes. Payment is due by the second class of each month. All payments will be due before the concert. Checks should be made payable to “TaVaci,” cash should be sealed in an envelope with the student’s name on the front and both should be dropped in the tuition box in the studio. Both cash and check should be marked on the envelope or on the check as to what the amount should be put towards to eliminate confusion.

**All correspondence will come by e-mail, but if you do not have an e-mail address it can be sent through the mail.

Registration Fee: $15.00 per family/ $10.00 (enter in January)

This fee is due upon registering. It is to cover costs of setting up your family file and the paperwork, bookwork, postage and billing involved with your account for the year, and a vocal practice CD per child per concert.

Recital Fees: $10.00 per student per concert

This fee is to partially defray the rental cost of the building for the concerts held in December and May. It also allows our concerts to be free to the public, family members and friends. It is due in December and April, but may be paid at any time.

Concert Requirements:

Each student will be required to be in both the Christmas and Spring Concerts and attend rehearsals surrounding them. All other performances are optional. Dates will be made known to you once they are scheduled.

Costumes:

Each student will be required to wear a TaVaci costume. We will use the same costumes as last year. This costume must be worn on both the December and April concerts, and will be purchased through our studio. Costumes try-on days will be announced at a later time, and the payment will be due shortly after. If your child needs a new costume and already has a costume from last year, that costume can be turned in to be sold at a used price. You will receive the money after it is sold.

Visitors:

Visitors are not allowed in the studio in order to avoid distraction and overcrowding, unless previously discussed with the instructor. If you have a question concerning your child’s progress, please feel free to visit with the instructor.

Up-dates:

We try to up-date all the parents on a regular basis to let them know what is happening in TaVaci, and also to give any added information about up-coming events. We will e-mail (or mail if you do not have e-mail) these up-dates and they will also be posted on our new blog available at vernaltavaci.blogspot.com that you may view at any time!

Accounts:

Andrew Wardle handles all TaVaci accounts. Please contact him at 781-6604 if you have questions.
