Individuals may register for string (violin, viola, cello or bass) studies by interview/audition only. New and returning students must complete and submit the registration form and include the non-refundable deposit of $300 per student. A $35 registration fee is applicable to new students. The remaining tuition will be split into 10 equal installments, due on the first week of each month, starting in September and ending in June. Late payments (after the 15th of the month) will be assessed a $15 late fee. Tuition is for one weekly individual lesson (30/45/60 min) and entitles the student to participate in level/age/instrument appropriate Monday group classes, and other ensembles, as available.
PAYMENT METHOD
Registration and tuition deposit payment may be made by check or cash. The monthly installments will be done by check on the first week/lesson of each month.
TUITION AND FEES

SCHOOL CLOSINGS
On days of inclement weather, a general email to all LMA families will notify of class cancellations. Private lessons missed because of closings will be rescheduled by special arrangement with the teacher.
ATTENDANCE & TARDINESS
One (1) private lesson missed by the student per semester may be made up, in arrangement with the teacher only if absence is reported to LMA and/or teacher 24 hours before the scheduled lesson. Academic tuition is based on the yearly calendar, and may not be pro-rated to accommodate missed lessons by the student. Students who are late for their instruction are not guaranteed full lesson time.
STUDENT RECITAL/CONCERTS
All students are encouraged to perform in regularly scheduled academy recitals throughout the year. Also, LMA frequently receives invitations to perform at public events, as well as private institution celebrations and programs. Students may be invited to perform, depending on ability and sense of commitment.
