Tuition is paid in advance for all Silverlake Conservatory of Music programs.  Your tuition reserves a weekly lesson time.  The time of your lesson has been reserved and is unavailable to any other student.  Tuition is neither reduced nor refunded due to missed lessons by the student. Tuition is paid monthly, it is not calculated by the weekly lesson. Your monthly tuition rate is the same each month even though some months will have five (5) lessons and others as few as three (3). Holiday and break closures have been calculated into the monthly tuition rate.

Registration and tuition fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

If tuition payment is not received by the seventh day of the month it is considered late and a $30 late fee will be applied. There will be no exceptions.

Lessons canceled by the student will not be made up, nor will a refund/credit be given.  Exceptions in cases of unforeseen illness, accident or emergency may be considered and arranged at the discretion of the teacher and administration. In order for any exceptions to be considered the student/parent must call/email Silverlake Conservatory as soon as possible. If the student/parent does not call/email in advance, no exception will be offered.
