REQUIREMENTS:
TUITION:
For private lessons, tuition is due in monthly installments. At the beginning of each month, the guardian/student will receive an invoice with the total amount due for lessons attended in the previous month. Students may then pay for lessons through the link provided on the invoice. Students must give a 24 hour notice to the instructor in order to receive a make-up lesson or not be charged for a lesson. Session tuition is non-refundable.
To pay for Monthly Tuition, follow the link below:
In any case of an absence, the student is REQUIRED TO GIVE ADVANCE NOTICE (at least 24 hours prior to scheduled session) in order to receive an opportunity to schedule a make-up session or not be charged for the lesson. Emergency situations are exempt from this clause. No refunds of payments will be issued under any circumstances. In the case of an absence of the instructor, a make-up session will be rescheduled or a credit will be issued to the student for the following months.
Each guardian or student is responsible for paying for the cost of any music and supplementary materials (e.g. metronome, flash cards, theory workbook, etc.). This cost is in addition to the fixed session fee. The student will either be given a list of materials needed or the option—if agreed upon by instructor—to have the materials purchased on behalf of the student, and an itemized list including the total amount due will be provided to the student or guardian.
In order to receive the maximum benefit possible from scheduled sessions, it is essential each student spends fully devoted time outside the scheduled sessions practicing. It is the student’s responsibility to regularly create time for personal study and practice at home.
Periodically throughout the year, students will have an opportunity to perform in front of their peers during scheduled recitals and other public settings. Students are not required to attend these events; however, students are strongly encouraged to participate in these opportunities.
Goals for Students who are Learning Worship Music
At Lakewood Music Institute, we want to make sure that students who desire to play their instrument in a modern worship setting will be fully prepared. To accomplish this, we have created a set of checkpoints that we expect our worship students to achieve through their lessons at LMI. The knowledge acquired after completing these checkpoints will enable students to play music on their focus instruments within any modern music environment. An example of a modern music environment is the Lakewood Worship ministry.
