Class Policy | Yuan Music

1-on-1 Private Piano Lessons

Eligibility: Open to children (ages 5+) and adults of all skill levels, from complete beginners to advanced pianists. A free trial lesson is available for new students.
Tuition & Billing: Tuition is collected in advance for packages of 10 lessons. Fees are deducted based on actual student attendance rather than a fixed monthly flat rate.
Cancellation & Attendance: A minimum of 24-hour notice is strictly required for cancellations or rescheduling. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice will be charged in full, except in cases of sudden illness.
Makeup Lessons: If a lesson must be missed due to prior scheduling conflicts, students may coordinate with the instructor in advance to arrange a makeup class.

Group Piano Course: Designed as a small group setting with 5 to 7 students per class. Yuan Music provides each student with a premium Japanese brand, 88-key, full-size, semi-weighted digital piano for in-class use.
Group Guitar Course: Structured with 3 to 5 students per class. Yuan Music provides each student with an acoustic guitar for in-class use.
Early Childhood Music Class: Tailored specifically for young learners aged 3 to 5.5 years old. The curriculum runs twice a year, consisting of 7 sessions per term.
Schedule & Makeup Policy: Group class schedules and term durations are fully synchronized with our partner schools' academic semesters. Tuition and material fees must be paid in full prior to the start of the semester. Due to the cooperative nature of group structures, makeup classes or tuition refunds cannot be provided for individual student absences during the term.

Daily Practice: Fostering true musicianship is a lifelong journey. To ensure consistent progress and artistic growth, students are expected to practice at home every day, regardless of duration. As a general rule, higher proficiency levels require longer practice sessions. Active parental reminders and encouragement are highly appreciated.
Annual Recital: Yuan Music hosts its signature Annual Student Concert at the end of April each year. Every student is strongly encouraged to perform, showcasing their hard work and musical accomplishments.
Community Service: Believing that music should uplift communities, Yuan Music organizes at least one community service performance every autumn. Student attendance is highly encouraged as a meaningful way to gain stage experience while giving back through music.
