​Payment Procedures for School Year Programs

Classes run for a full school year - (24 week school year from late Sept. or early October to mid/end of April - some theater classes will have more time depending on rehearsals for the performances).
The tuition fees vary with different programs and locations. Mary Ann Hall's MUSIC FOR CHILDREN is a music school with a curriculum that has no comparison. Students who continue in our 7 or 13 year program grow musically as well as socially and intellectually, getting basic musical grounding and fundamental training on piano, recorder, voice, and musical theater. In other words, our program focuses on the CHILD as the instrument through which the music flows and grows, not on one specific musical instrument. We don't believe in "putting children on display" in regular recital situations. We have parent share days when parents can see their child participating in a class. For the older, more socially ready children, we have theatrical performances. Our focus is on your CHILD first and a comfortable learning environment where he or she feels very safe to explore all that is music without judgement or criticism, but with nurturing, fun-filled guidance from highly trained early childhood music educators.

SAVINGS POLICIES:
Good news!  The $25 Sibling Discount can be combined with any other discount or coupon for second, third, fourth, etc. children.

More good news!  The 10% (no more than $50) Refer a Friend Discount can be combined with any other discount or coupon as well.  You (the enrolled MUSIC FOR CHILDREN family) invite a friend, new to our program (not an immediate family member such as little brothers or sisters), to join MUSIC FOR CHILDREN.  When your friend signs up for the FULL 24-week program, you get $50 off and your friend gets $50 off his/her FULL tuition as well! Only one win/win per new family please. You can refer as many families as you wish for $50.00 each, but only one new incoming child's tuition will receive the savings per family (Multiple children in a family will of course receive the sibling savings). For a partial year, a 10% of the pro-rated tuition will be given to both parties.  Be sure your friend enters your name in the "How did you hear about us?" box, and be sure to call our office to confirm the referral and discount- 203-854-9797.

With the exception of the Sibling and Refer a Friend Discounts, coupons, advertisements, discounts, etc. cannot be combined.  If you have already used a coupon and find one of a larger value, call the office!  We will apply the larger value to your tuition payment.

No refunds will be given for additional savings.  If you have paid in full without using a coupon, and find a valid coupon or discount for MUSIC FOR CHILDREN, we will apply the value of the discount to a future tuition payment.

REFUND POLICY:
No refunds will be granted after 30 days past opening day, with two exceptions: Serious illness or relocation to another community where MUSIC FOR CHILDREN is not offered.
In all cases, there is a $50 non-refundable administration fee in addition to any pro-rated refunds.

MAKE-UP POLICY:
We want your children to experience our music!  So, our make-up policy is very generous.  We encourage you to make up a class within the week you're absent so that you don't miss that week's plan.  However, we understand that this is not always possible!  We do request that you call the office at 203-854-9797 to schedule missed classes as soon as possible.  You can schedule your makeup classes any time within the current Session.  Makeups cannot be carried over from one session to the next. We may issue a credit towards classes in the next full school year, but for no more than 3 missed classes. So please try to make up any absences soon after the absence.
