J. A. M. Music Conservatory
Music is a journey. Let us guide you.
Pricing and Policies
HOW OUR PRICING WORKS
Our pricing is based on a model similar to that of public schools and universities. We divide the annual tuition into equal monthly payments. Although the number of lessons varies from month to month, the monthly tuition remains unchanged . This allows us to provide a consistent, predictable income for our teachers, and it simplifies the tasks of budgeting and accounting for everyone. Some months you may have 4 lessons, some you may have 5. Also, during a month where there is vacation time, such as spring break, you may only have 2 or 3 lessons. Again, we have calculated the total tuition with holidays factored in and spread it evenly across each month. We process monthly tuition automatically each month by credit/debit card draft. (This has become the industry standard, and is the same system used by fitness gyms.)
WE ACCEPT VISA, MC, AND DISCOVER.
Our registration and payment system is web-based and is easy to use. If you have any trouble, however, just give us a call.
Once you've registered for your lessons, you will be shown the amount currently due. This will include a registration fee (see below). If you would prefer to pay for a block of months or a semester all at once, you will have the option to pay more than the amount due if you so choose.
BOOKS AND SHEET MUSIC:
WE WILL PROVIDE ANY LESSON MATERIAL YOUR TEACHER REQUIRES AT NO COST TO YOU.

POLICIES
MISSED LESSONS: Please, inform the conservatory office of anticipated missed lessons as early as possible.
MAKE-UP LESSONS: Students are allowed two(2) make-up lessons for each of the Spring and Fall terms and will be scheduled at the discretion of the teacher, based on his/her availability. No additional make-up lessons will be guaranteed unless your teacher volunteers their time, and no refunds will be given for additional missed lessons. (Please remember that when students in college skip class, they do not receive refunds. The studio time and the teacher's time have been reserved, and the school must still pay the teacher even when the students skips class.)
WITHDRAWAL: There are no contracts, but if you wish to withdraw from lessons, a 30-DAY NOTICE is requested. You should at least be prepared to finish out the month once you've made the decision to withdraw.
STAFF: As in public schools where students change teachers yearly with enthusiasm and anticipation, J.A.M. Music Conservatory students may, at times, be assigned to new teachers as our staff changes. Such changes have always been positive and offer students new learning perspectives.
Due to unexpected circumstances a teacher may need to be absent. Any lessons that are cancelled will be made-up by the teacher at a time that is convenient for both student and teacher. If a situation arises where a teacher misses a lesson and it is not made up during the same semester, that lesson cost will be credited to the student's account. Alternatively, the J.A.M. Music Conservatory may provide a highly qualified and experienced substitute who will ensure the proper continuity of students' classes.
PARENT OBSERVATION: Parents are always welcome to observe the private lessons. Parent/teacher conferences may be scheduled at the discretion of both parent and teacher, and the Conservatory facilities may be used for such conferences.
WAITING AREA: The waiting area is provided as a courtesy to the students and parents, and it is expected that everyone wait quietly and not disturb ongoing lessons. Please drop off students no more than five minutes before the scheduled lesson time, and pick them up promptly. Food, drinks, and roughhousing are not permitted in the waiting room or in the studios.
