Music Lesson Agreement
At-Home Practice
Practicing at home is required of all students in the studio. Students should practice 4-6 days per week. Practice times depend on the child’s age and level, and the right amount of time to practice will be determined on a one on one basis with the teacher and student. Students will be taught practice strategies during lessons to help guide them, and assigned weekly homework written down in the student’s notebook. Consistency is important in learning, especially in music study. Regular practice assures rapid improvement of musicianship and skills. Students are enrolled with the understanding that they have access to a piano or an appropriate electronic keyboard in their home for practice. Make practice your daily routine and concentrate on completing your homework according to the instructor’s suggestions written in the student’s notebook. Parents’ role in developing good practice habits cannot be overestimated. It is often parents who keep their children motivated and focused on the task. Parents are recommended to monitor the student’s homework completion on a weekly basis.
Approximate amount of time to practice each day:
- Beginners: 15-20 minutes
- Intermediate: 30-45 minutes
- Advanced: 45-60 minutes and beyond
Tuition/Lesson Time
Lesson times are based on the age of the student and level of proficiency on their instrument. Lessons are scheduled weekly (Mid August through the end of May), with the occasional weeks off following the Palm Beach County Schools Calendar. Formal Recitals and Community Outreach Performances are included in the package.
Depending on the month, there may be three, four, or five lessons. An invoice will be sent to you at the end of each month, and payment is expected by the 1st of the following month. There is a $10 late fee for tuition that is paid after the 7th of each month. There is a $50 registration fee for new students to cover administrative costs, and their initial books and materials. After that, books will either be sold to the students, or purchased by the student.
Tuition Payment
The yearly tuition is broken into 10 equal monthly payments, and due the first of each month, August through May. We accept cash, check, zelle, and venmo.

Cancellation Policy
The Studio has a 24 hour cancellation policy. If you give notice of 24 hours or more before your appointment, then it may be possible to rearrange the lesson depending upon availability, but it is not guaranteed. If you give less than 24 hours notice, then lessons cannot be rescheduled. If there is inclement weather, or the child is mildly ill, there is a possibility to move the lesson online. If the teacher is the one to cancel the lesson due either to a performing conflict or an illness, then either a make-up lesson will be made available, or there will be a prorated tuition for the following month. Please do not send sick children to their lessons. If a student arrives with an active illness, they will be asked to leave. If you plan on discontinuing lessons, written notice must be given a month ahead of time, and no refunds will be given. We reserve the right to discontinue a student’s lessons at any time if they are consistently not practicing and coming unprepared to lessons, if there are excessive unpaid lesson fees, the student shows no interest in playing their instrument, or regularly exhibit severe behavioral issues during their lessons.
Summer Lessons
Summer lessons are not mandatory, but highly encouraged to keep up your musical skills, and are structured based on an “a la carte” sign up system.

Parent and/or Student hereby consents to and authorizes Lexi’s Music Studio to capture and use video-audio recordings and photographic images of Student’s musical performances and lessons and quoted statements in print, electronic, or online media, for educational and Studio promotional purposes only, without any compensation to Parent or Student.
