Frequently Asked Questions
What if I need to miss a lesson? If you need to cancel a lesson, we have pre-scheduled hour-long make-up classes. There are learning methods, like Suzuki, that strongly encourage regular group classes to supplement private lessons. There are also a few music schools that actually require group classes in addition to one’s private lessons. Why? Because there are advantages in group class settings that can’t be gained in private lessons. This is our way of introducing these advantages at no extra charge.
What safety measures do you have in place? Your safety is our priority! All lesson rooms are equipped with a security camera (no audio), and they have an observation window. We have an open door policy for all lessons: parents and guardians are welcome to sit in on lessons at any time. All Westlake Music Academy teachers must pass two nationwide background checks.
Do you have parking? Westlake Music Academy offers ample free parking in our parking lot.
If I register, do I need to sign a long-term contract? Our lessons are weekly and paid on a month-to-month basis. There are no large upfront payments and no long semester commitments. Commitments last only 1 month at a time.
What can I expect when I sign up for lessons? Every student that comes to Westlake Music Academy is unique. Our highly trained staff will customize a path to success in your area of interest. There are no 18-week semesters. Lessons are month to month, year-round. If you need to cancel a lesson, we offer make-up classes.
What is the cost of a lesson? Tuition is the same, no matter what type of lesson you choose! Tuition is $36 per half hour. There is an initial $25 registration fee per family. The first month is prorated so you can start lessons right away!
