Fees and costs:

Piano lessons
            Piano lessons cost a flat monthly fee of $125 for half hour lessons, $180 for 45 minute lessons, or $250 for full hour lessons.  This fee is in effect regardless to the number of lessons per month, which varies between 4-5.  Parents or students should count on this fee applying for 10 months of the year (September - June) when planning to study with Robbin.
Families are expected to continue attending lessons for all 10 months, and participate in a spring recital in late April or early May.
Payment is accepted via check, cash, credit card, Venmo or Pay Pal.   Electronic payments are preferred. If paying by credit card, there will be an additional fee of $3 to cover processing costs. No lessons are offered during July and most of August. Cancellation of a lesson will not entail a refund. If a students misses a lesson due to illness, a make-up lesson can be scheduled within the same week.  No other make-ups will apply.  


Alexander Technique/piano lessons
            Lessons which combine Alexander Technique and a piano lesson are usually offered to adults or serious teenage students.  These lessons may be scheduled on a per-lesson basis, since they are often not on-going.  (Students wishing to schedule a lesson "package" of 4 lessons may inquire with Robbin as to the fee.)

Half hour Alexander Technique/piano lesson:  $45

Full hour Alexander Technique/piano lesson:  $80


                There is a 24 hour cancellation policy for all Alexander-based lessons.  Cancellation with less notice requires payment in full for the missed lesson.
