Program Calendar
The academic year at The Art of Piano studio is divided into two semesters starting in August and January and a flexible summer session. If there are openings available, new students may begin lessons after the term has begun and their tuition will be adjusted.
Each private lesson incudes an additional 30-minute or longer session in the student computer lab immediately after or before the lesson.
The lesson schedule is made right after the registration deadline for each term, based on students’ preferences and teacher availability. Exact lesson days and times will not be available until scheduling is completed. Weekly lessons take place on weekdays. Students who register after scheduling day must choose lessons times from those still available.
