- All lessons are held at our studio at 1805 Markham Avenue. We have seven (7) private lesson rooms, each with a windowed door, sound-insulated walls, an exterior window for natural light, and all equipment necessary for a productive lesson.
- A High Strung staff person will always be in the building when the school is open to handle any scheduling or payment transactions, and to help you with other issues.
- Our lesson studios are on the second floor, but we do have a downstairs classroom that meets all accessibility guidelines.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OUR TEACHERS
- Preparedness: Having a well-constructed curriculum, a lesson plan for each student, and to be prepared for each individual lesson.
- Timeliness: Starting each lesson promptly, staying on schedule for each student; not allowing late-comers to throw off everyone else who arrives on time.
- Professionalism: Communicating with students, parents, and colleagues in a conscientious and respectful manner.
SCHOOL POLICIES & RATES
- Students register for lessons on a month-by-month basis with the same amount for tuition every month.
- Monthly Tuition is based on the duration of the lesson (30 minutes or 60 minutes) and how many times the lesson occurs per week. The monthly tuition is $135 for a 30 minute lesson that meets once per week. (We also offer 30 min., 45 min. and 60 min. options.)
- A credit or debit card will be charged by the school on the first of each month for that month’s lessons.
- Rescheduling a lesson is allowed once (1 time) per season (August- November, December-March, April-July) as long as 24 hours' notice or more is given.
