Studio Offerings

Term of Study:

The Ramos Piano Studio offers two terms of study: an Academic Term (Mid-August through May) and a Summer Term (June through early August). New students may enroll at any time of the year. Payments will be pro-rated depending on when you begin. Cost is based off the number of lessons you purchase and the monthly or quarterly price is an average of the total amount for lessons.

The Ramos Piano Studio has four payment plans available: Monthly, Quarterly, Bi-Annual, or Annual. The 2021-2022 academic term (mid-August through May) includes 35 scheduled weeks of instruction (1 private lesson per week), up to three of which may be scheduled as group lessons.
