Examples of the Discount System

Any student taking private lessons is eligible for discounts on unit-bearing classes and ensembles. The more units an individual student takes, the high the discount for each unit up to six units. After the sixth unit, every additional unit is free.

Example 1

Any lesson-taker who also takes two 3-unit offerings (valued at $432) or a 3-unit and a 4-unit offering (valued at $504) or two 4-unit offerings (valued at $576) will be charged only $380 above the cost of their lessons. Additionally this student may take any number of additional classes or ensembles at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.

Example 2

A student who takes private lessons, Introductory Piano (3-units) and Virtuosi Bowed Strings Ensemble (2-units) would add the total number of units in all classes and ensembles for a total of 5 units. The discounted tuition on the chart for 5 units is $320. That would be the total charge for both Introductory Piano and Virtuosi Ensemble combined per semester above the cost of their lessons. Note: This student may take any number of additional classes or ensembles for a cost of only $60.

Example 3

A student who takes private lessons and Music Theory (4 units — valued at $288) would be billed the reduced rate of $259 above the cost of their lessons.

Example 4

A student who takes private lessons and Jazz Performance Workshop (3 units — valued at $216) would be billed the reduced rate of $197 above the cost of their lessons.
