There are three sessions per calendar year, and prices are fixed for weekly lessons that recur each month outlined in our calendar. Unattended lessons will be canceled, including late cancellations with less than 48 hours' notice, no-shows, or inability to attend during an alternative time offered by NorthShore Pianoforte.
We offer one official makeup lesson during the last week of each session during the student's regular meeting time: 3 possible makeup lessons each year. There is one makeup per session at the discretion of the instructor. Lessons cannot be rescheduled during the makeup week.
If you prefer to move your current lesson time in the future, please submit an entry on our Waiting List. We will do our best to accommodate your requests, but please note that priority is given to current or prior students with NorthShore Pianoforte.
We look forward to reserving your lesson upon registration! Our instructors maintain a consistent schedule, so we ask that clients do the same. Payment is due in advance via check, credit/debit card, or Zelle®. To avoid late fees, please saving a credit card on file. Lessons will be cancelled when payment is not received before instruction.
For billing or scheduling inquiries regarding piano, violin, viola, or voice lessons, please contact our studio manager. Lesson prices include a convenience fee for saved cards, and credit cards are processed only with client consent. Lesson lengths may vary based on student progress, with instructors able to adjust durations as needed, especially for new recital participants.
