Students are responsible for purchase of recommended music books throughout the year. In general, you can plan to spend $40-80 spread over the course of the year, depending on student progress. Tuition does not cover any fees for participation in optional festivals and exams outside the studio. 

A $65 annual materials/registration fee is due upon registration. This fee reserves your space in the studio and helps cover costs of instructional materials and recital expenses.
