What Tuition Fees Include

Tuition pays for more than just instructional time. Tuition also includes time spent with other more administrative tasks completed for your musical education. This includes progress planning, choosing repertoire assignments, bookkeeping, organizing recitals and masterclasses, registering students for competitions and standardized exams, organizing community events, preparing and printing programs, and attending conferences for professional development.

Payment of Tuition

Payments accepted includes cash, check (payable to Bellus Music Studio), Venmo (@BellusMusicStudio) or Bank of America/Zelle (via yevapeng@yahoo.com)

Recital Fees

An annual recital fee of $50 will be charged at the beginning of each school year per student. This fee covers costs associated with the organization of our studio recitals throughout the year (time spent coordinating schedules with venues, rental costs, printing of programs, etc.).

Other Educational Costs NOT Included in Tuition

There are other costs to consider when making a commitment to musical training. These costs include lesson books and materials, musical scores, masterclass participation, examination and festival fees (for students who pursue these activities), and of course purchasing and maintaining a quality instrument.

Scholarships

The Bellus Studio believes that lack of funding should not keep anyone from enjoying music and offers scholarships to low-income families. Visit our Scholarships page to learn more about our scholarship program.
