Lesson rates and Attendance Policy
We offer weekly lessons year round. Tuition is paid at the start of each month by auto-pay and reserves your lesson day and time. Here is how it works.
2026 rates for weekly one-on-one lessons
Tuition and attendance policy
Your weekly spot
Tuition is paid at the start of each month and reserves your weekly lesson day and time. Like a gym membership, you are charged for your spot whether or not you use it. Missed lessons are not refunded or credited, including for illness, travel or a schedule conflict.
Make-ups
Make-ups are not guaranteed. Teachers keep full schedules, so there is usually no open time to move a lesson into. Occasionally a teacher has an opening within their regular teaching hours that can work as a make-up. You are welcome to ask, but we can't promise one, and teachers don't add separate trips to the studio for individual make-ups.
Holidays
We don't charge for lessons that fall on AISD holidays (Thanksgiving week, winter break, spring break, and one-day holidays like MLK Day), and the studio is generally closed those days. If you and your teacher both want to keep a lesson on a holiday, you can arrange it together and it will be billed as usual. Your teacher will also let you know in advance about any weeks they're away; those weeks aren't charged.
Teacher cancellations
If your teacher has to cancel, you'll receive a credit toward the next month's tuition, or a make-up if you'd prefer one.
Payment
Tuition is drafted automatically on the first of the month. A bank transfer (ACH) costs less in fees than a card; both can be set up in the student portal.
Pausing or stopping lessons
Let us know before the first of the month and we will turn off auto-pay for the following month. Tuition for the current month is not prorated. Questions about any of this: ross@welovemusicaustin.com.
