New students have the opportunity to meet with the director or the department head for consultation. Assignment of teacher is determined based on the student’s needs, goals, past experience, and availability. Whenever possible, students will be placed with the teacher of their choice. Students are not permitted to change teacher during the course of a semester; any change of teacher is at the discretion of the director. Tuition for private lessons is pro-rated for students registering after the semester started.
