What's Included in Your Tuition: Piano Students
Two Professional Piano Tunings
Your school year tuition includes two professional piano tunings at your home. we recognize that keeping your instrument in good shape is a determining factor in the success of the student. We recommend scheduling these six months apart -- once in the fall and again in the spring. Our goal is to ensure that our students are playing on well-maintained instruments.
It is possible that your piano may need additional work at the time of the tuning, such as a pitch shift, action regulation, or repairs. If this is the case, the tuner would let you know, and you would be responsible for any additional charges beyond the included A440 tuning. *Summer tuition does not include this service.

Sibling Discounts
Families that have two or more children enrolled in piano may request a sibling discount to account for the extra 2x/year tuning premium(s) that will not be used if you have only one piano in your home. This request may be made by email to our office.
