Hours of Operation

Studio hours of operation are Monday-Friday 10:00am - 5:00pm EST.  Please allow 24 hours for response to all communication during the week.  Communication outside of the studio operating hours may have a longer response time, and all weekend communications will be answered the following Monday.  Email is the preferred method of communication, as texts may not be seen while teaching.

Our Responsibilities

Music with Brandi teachers will facilitate musical learning and growth in a supportive, creative and collaborative environment.  Our goal is to cultivate a lifelong love of music making in each student by empowering them to learn, create, and grow according to their own interests and long-term goals.  We will tailor curriculum to match each student’s learning needs.

Student and Family Responsibilities

Students agree to arrive at each lesson punctually, well-prepared, and with their assigned books and music.  To make progress, quality practice is necessary.  Please ask questions about home assignments so that the student and parents can completely understand the assignments and goals.

Parents: If something is happening at home or school that is affecting your child, please let me know.  The more information I have, the more I can be sensitive to the needs of your child.

Music and Materials

Each piano student will receive lesson books and a folder and should bring these to every lesson.  If a student has forgotten their materials, we will focus our lesson time on "off bench" musical activities.  All Piano students receive access to PracticeSpace App.  The teacher will use this resource as a communication tool for practice assignments. 

Voice students will receive materials that will be determined by the level of music literacy of the student.  Students should bring all materials to class every week.  All voice students receive access to a Google Classroom.  It is necessary for each student to have a non-school Gmail account.

All online students must have high speed internet and a working microphone and camera.  Having a device that is separate from the computer to play music on is also essential.  Having a keyboard at home is strongly encouraged.

Tuition and Schedule

*Please note that tuition reserves the weekly time slot, but may not directly correlate with lessons received if the student does not attend the scheduled lesson times.

Flat monthly tuition rates are based on the number of guaranteed lessons in the calendar year.  There will be a minimum of 40 lessons offered throughout the year, and the weeks where lessons are not held (due to holidays, personal obligations, or illness) will be communicated in advance.

All payments are non-refundable.  After the first payment, invoicing and payment will run automatically on the same day.  Tuition will be drawn on the 1st of each month from the method on file.  All automatic payments will be run through Fons and Stripe.

In the event that a payment is returned or declined, a 48-hour window will be provided to adjust the payment method and resubmit payment.  Invoices paid after the 3rd of the month will receive a $15 late fee.  Recurring late payments may result in termination of the student’s enrollment.

Piano students are charged a non-refundable annual $45 registration fee per student subscription due on January 1 of each year.  This fee covers basic materials and costs associated with recitals and workshops hosted by Music with Brandi.  Any music purchases outside of the basic materials are the responsibility of the student.

Voice students are charged a non-refundable annual $65 registration fee per student subscription due on January 1 of each year.  This fee covers sheet music purchases and costs associated with recitals and workshops hosted by Music with Brandi.  Any music purchases after the $65 has been used are the responsibility of the student.
