Registration
Monmouth Music Academy offers open enrollment so you may register for classes at any time. If a student begins lessons in the middle of the month we will prorate tuition before the beginning of the first full month. There is a registration fee of $40 per student.
Tuition
Tuition is paid monthly: based on enrollment, not attendance. Your monthly tuition rate is the same each month even though some months will have 5 lessons and others will have 3. Holiday closures have been calculated into the monthly tuition rate. Our closure calendar is available online at www.monmouthmusicacademy.com/calendar
All fees must be paid by pre-authorized debit or pre-authorized credit cards at time of registration. Auto-debit from bank account and credit card payments are available only for regular auto-charge recurring monthly tuition. Credit or debit cards will be charged one week prior to the upcoming month.
$145 per month / 30 minute weekly
$255 per month / 60 minute weekly or Two 30 minute weekly
Withdrawal or Schedule Changes
We require one week’s notice, prior to the first of the upcoming month to discontinue lessons, request a new weekly time or suspend automatic charges. To discontinue lessons please contact the academy by e-mail.
Student Absence and Make-Up Lessons
All absences must be reported using the following link: www.monmouthmusicacademy.com/absence-notice
We allow students to reschedule up to 2 lessons per semester, with 2 lessons available between January and June, and an additional 2 between July and December, subject to the academy's availability. Rescheduling is permitted provided a minimum of 24 hours notice is given. For lessons canceled on the day of, a personalized instructional video will be provided to help students stay on track for their next class.
Once a student has exhausted their 2 rescheduled lessons, they will automatically be enrolled in recorded video lessons with their instructor to ensure continuity in their learning journey until the next cycle. In case of inability to attend in person, a virtual lesson can be arranged at the student's regular time slot with sufficient notice.
It's important to note that no-shows will be marked as missed. Missed lessons cannot be rescheduled, making payments for missed lessons non-reusable, non-refundable, and non-transferable. Video recorded lessons are exclusively available for students who provide timely notification of their absence.
Tardy Arrival
Students arriving late will not have their lesson time extended. Students arriving late by more than half of their lesson period will be considered absent.
Open Door Policy
Our Open Door Policy means that one parent/guardian is welcome to sit in a music lesson their son/daughter. Some students work better with a parent or guardian in the room. Siblings/guests are not permitted to sit in on classes.

Virtual lessons or instructional videos are available at your weekly time if you are unable to attend lessons due to illness. No students should attend lessons when sick. Monmouth Music Academy reserves the right to dismiss a student from a scheduled lesson if the student arrives at that lesson exhibiting possible symptoms of illness. In this case, a makeup lesson will not be offered
