Tuition and Fees

Venmo is preferred, but I will also accept cash and checks.  Tuition is due the first lesson of the month.  A $10 late fee will be added to late payments.  The cost of lessons is $50/hour plus $10/month.  I charge a flat monthly fee and reconcile in December and June. 

Monthly Tuition

Early Book 1 30 minute lessons: $100

Late Book 1-Book 2 30-45 minute lessons: $100-$150

Book 3 45 minute lessons: $150

Book 4 45-60 minute lessons: $150-$200 

Book 5+ 60 minute lessons: $200

Tuition is based on a 12 month program of lessons, group lessons, rehearsals, and recitals.  

ADDITIONAL FEES

Suzuki Association of Utah: As a teacher member of the SAU all my students are required to be members of the SAU.  The cost is $45 per family plus $5 for each addition child due in September of each year.  This pays for your quarterly newsletters, SAU graduation, activities, and the parent convention in January. 

Federation: This is an optional performance opportunity around the same time as the Spring solo recital.  In 2025 the cost was $18 to enter plus the cost of the accompanist.  This fee is due in January or February.

Music: You must purchase all of the music we will use throughout the year.  I have a list of the music we will be learning.  You will purchase (from me or on your own) the books you may need for technique and exercises throughout the year.

Miscellaneous: violins need new strings and a bow rehair annually.  You will also need to purchase a shoulder rest or sponge and often an upgraded chin rest.  The student will need rosin, a cleaning cloth, and a bag for their music.
