Our goal at Little Bird Music is to create a friendly, supportive environment for students to build musical skills so they can enjoy and engage with music for the rest of their lives. All lessons take place weekly on a month-to-month commitment basis. Depending on the age, experience, ability of the student, and availability, we will suggest a 30-, 45-, or 60-minute weekly private session or group class. The teacher then works closely with students and families to assess the best teaching plan for each individual student.

Monthly tuition is based on a 48-week year with on average four lessons per month. Depending on how the calendar falls, some months will have more lessons than others (i.e. some long months will have five lessons, some short months will have three lessons, and most months will have four lessons). Tuition remains the same each month. Enrollment mid-month will be prorated. Monthly tuition rates are as follows:

  • 30-minute weekly private lessons ...................... $192/month

  • 45-minute weekly private lessons ...................... $282/month

  • 60-minute weekly private lessons ...................... $354/month

  • Weekly 30-minute group class ............................ $140/month

Monthly tuition is due in advance on the first of the month and reserves a weekly spot for each student. Every student is on a month-to-month basis, and we kindly ask for notice in writing two weeks before the next tuition installment is due if you choose to discontinue lessons. For any lessons missed by a student, Little Bird Music has a wide array of makeup options to make it easy and seamless to reschedule if needed. Our 2025-26 Studio Policies and Procedures may be referenced here.

If you are in need of financial assistance, music scholarships are available. Please visit musicwings.org for more information, to apply for a scholarship, or to sponsor a student in need.
