What are the administrative fees? 

Administrative fees cover the cost of administration, registration, instructor background checks, recital costs, etc. Charging this fee, including the discounted version for families with multiple students enrolled, allows us to set the per lesson fee at a competitive market rate. 

Costs

Tuition and fees vary by offering and include a fee reduction for multiple students in one household.
