HOW IT WORKS:

We offer weekly lessons from September through the first week of June, based on the Sudbury Public Schools academic schedule. There are no regular lessons scheduled during school vacation weeks or other designated school days off, but lessons on these days may be arranged individually as requested subject to our availability. 

Summer lessons are also available and billed on a per-lesson basis - scheduling is flexible.  Open and available to any student, whether established with us or not.  


Lesson Rates 2026-2027 School Year:
30 minutes: $54/lesson
45 minutes: $74/lesson
60 minutes: $94/lesson


ATTENDANCE AND BILLING POLICY  (updated May 2026)
  • Each student has a weekly day/time for their lesson that ideally stays the same for the entire school year until June.
  • Lessons are assumed to occur on a weekly basis unless otherwise notified.  
  • Payments are made monthly, and are due by the 5th day of each month.  
  • Monthly payments are the same each month regardless of the actual number of lessons that take place in a given month.  (Based on total invoice divided by total months -  Sept to May)
  • Students are permitted three Excused Absences from September-May for any reason and with no notice (illness, travel, sports, etc).  Excused absences are not charged.  
  • There are generally no regular lessons scheduled during the school winter break, February or April vacation weeks.  (Weekend lessons may take one lesson off during school vacation weeks.)
  • We kindly ask that you not request makeup lessons for conflicts that arise on your end, as our teaching and performance schedules do not permit this.  
  • No show/no call for a normally scheduled lesson will be charged as if the lesson were attended.
  • ILLNESS: Please do NOT bring your child if he/she is not well.  No fever within 24 hours without Tylenol/Ibuprofen, no vomiting, diarrhea, sore throats, etc.  If, due to illness, your child did not attend school on the lesson day, they may not come to the house for a lesson that day.  
  • If you happen to complete all 28 invoiced lessons before May, please remember that the final May payment is still required to finish paying for those 28 lessons.  Additional lessons are encouraged, and are invoiced separately at the end of the month in which they occurred.
  • In case of snow or other extreme weather event, lessons will typically be shifted online via FaceTime, Zoom, etc.
  • Any lesson we teachers must cancel due to conflicts is marked "Teacher Absence" and is not charged.  
  • If it is determined at the end of the year that due to multiple teacher absences we are not able to reach the 28 lessons by the end of lessons in June, we will refund the amount or make those lessons up over the summer.
