How old do you have to be to start lessons?
We have teachers that can teach the younger pre-school age
children to adults. However, we do suggest that students do not begin
playing certain instruments until they reach an age that they will
benefit from instruction. Please visit our "Resources & Links" and
read our informative page on music lessons. Top
How long are lessons?
Lessons are 30 minutes in length. Group lessons are longer and set
by the teacher depending on the size and level of the group.
When will I have a lesson?
Lessons are scheduled normally between 3:00 pm and 9:00 pm
Monday through Thursday and 9:00 am to 12:00 pm on Saturdays.
However, lessons may be scheduled outside the normal hours to
accommodate the schedules of the students and teachers.
What if I have no previous musical experience or knowledge?
Not a problem. We accept new beginners all the way to advanced
students.
What about focusing on certain musical styles in lessons?
Our teachers have diverse backgrounds. Intermediate to advanced
students wanting to learn a style exclusively will be placed into a
studio with a teacher suited for that style (space pending.) All our
instructors are qualified to introduce beginners to diverse musical
styles.
How much will lessons cost? (How much is tuition?)
Music lessons have a $30.00 registration fee for the year and four
half hour monthly lessons for $89.00. Group lessons are $69.00 a
month for four 50 minute sessions. A discount will be given for 2 or
more students in a family. For dance tuition rates, please see our
tuition page.
Can I leave my kids during my child’s lesson?
All children are to be supervised by an adult.
Should I attend my child's lesson or class?
While it is not required that parents attend their child’s lesson, it is
highly recommended parents take a concerted effort in their child’s
artistic development. Students with parental involvement and
encouragement have greater success.
How much should my child practice?
Students and parents are encouraged to discuss practice techniques,
including duration and frequency, with their instructor. Please visit our
"Resources & Links" and read our informative page on music lessons.
What should I bring to my first lesson?
Students with previous instruction should bring books and materials
used with previous instructors. New students are not required to bring
lesson books. At the first lesson, the instructor will evaluate the
student’s capabilities and potential to advise what books or materials
should be acquired.
If my child or I take piano lessons will a small keyboard do
okay?
In the first year a keyboard will be okay, but it is always better to have
access to an acoustic piano. Many music stores here in Austin offer
affordable rentals on acoustic pianos and on better quality digital
pianos. We have a deal with some of the music stores in Austin and
can refer you to them.
What about make up lessons?
Our teachers teach on a schedule they provide us. Lesson times are
assigned on a first come first serve basis and are assigned
exclusively to you. When a student does not arrive for their lesson,
that slot is seen as a great loss because the time that was missed
could be assigned to another student. We only excuse emergencies,
such as death or extreme illness. We need at least 24 hours notice to
inform the instructor and arrange the possibility of a make up lesson,
otherwise you will be charged for that lesson. We cannot guarantee a
make up lesson, however: the more notice you give, the greater the
chances are of arranging a make up or lesson time readjustment.
Canceled lessons, without fair notice to us, will not be credited to your
account. (An analogy of this can be the services you pay for a gym or
premium television services: if you do not work out one week or watch
TV for a week, you are not refunded for non-usage.) Excessive
cancellation may also result in the loss of your time slot.
Many of our teachers perform professionally. Occasionally, a teacher
may be called away to a performance or other engagement. If a
teacher cancels your lesson and we cannot arrange a make up or
substitute, your account will receive a credit.
How does your tuition work?
Allegro uses ACH (Automatic Check Handling) or a post-dated check
for the following month. (ex. pay for current month and pre-pay the
following month by post-dated check) Our studio managers will be
happy to go over our payment methods with you.
