SummerKeys refund policy

Please read the following information carefully

$75 Registration Fee (non-refundable):  This fee is not included in your tuition. It pays for the work required to enter your name and contact information into both paper and computer records, to start your scheduling  process, and also for the time we may spend communicating with you to be sure you’re comfortable with every aspect of the time you will be spending with us.

All of this takes place as soon as we receive your form, so, even if you need to cancel, the work has already been done; therefore, the fee is non-refundable. However, it is a one-time charge, so, no matter how many weeks you register, the fee is only applied once for each student.

$250 Deposit for each week selected: Deposits guarantee your place in what often become sold-out programs. On May 1, we send student lists to our faculty for the coming season with the understanding they will be paid for these students. Therefore, after May 1, Program Deposits are non-refundable. 

At least 2 weeks’ cancellation notice, complete refund, minus deposits and registration fee.  

Less than 2 weeks’ notice, 50% minus the deposits and registration fee will be refunded.

Tuition is not refunded due to late arrival; tuition credit for a future year (minus deposits) will be considered for medical/family emergencies or Covid issues.

For a late cancellation (mid-week) resulting from medical/family emergencies or Covid issues, tuition credit for a future year (minus deposits) will be considered at a pro-rated, per day scale based on cost of tuition.

Coached Ensemble Option
ONLY COMPLETE THIS PAGE IF YOU PLAN TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COACHED ENSEMBLE OPTION.

If you choose to register for Coached Ensemble, please bear in mind that THIS IS NOT A CHAMBER MUSIC PROGRAM. The whole focus at SummerKeys is on personalized individual instruction aimed at helping each participant to improve instrumental, vocal, or compositional skills. The Coached Ensemble Option is designed to introduce participants to the experience of learning to play music as part of a duo or group, and is set up as follows:

● No tape or audition is required, and novice players are welcome to participate.
● Late Monday afternoon, having worked with all students requesting Coached Ensemble, the faculty meets to decide what groups or duos may be formed, so that each person will derive maximum benefit from the Ensemble experience.
● They are careful to select works of excellent quality, but works which also may be accomplished in the four daily coaching sessions, which culminate in the optional performance of the selected work.
● Music and schedules for the coaching sessions are distributed at the Monday evening social or left at the office.
● Every effort is made to organize groups of three or more players, but our experience has shown that participants have greatly benefited from the ensemble experience, even when two persons (such as cello/piano, piano 4-hands, cello/cello) are involved.
● By signing below you agree to accept whatever the faculty decides will work best for you. WE DO REGRET THAT THERE CAN BE NO LAST MINUTE CHANGES.
● If you decide after the Monday night meeting that you are not going to participate in an ensemble that has been formed for you, please understand that you will not be entitled to a refund of any kind.
● Advanced students willing to accept these conditions are welcome to participate.
● Please note that Celtic Harp students do not need to sign up for Coached Ensemble, as it is included in your classes.
● There is no “Jazz” focus in Coached Ensemble, but pianists understanding this, may enroll.

I understand and agree to the terms described above:
(signature required if Coached Ensemble Option is selected) (date)

WE DO REGRET THAT THERE CAN BE NO LAST MINUTE CHANGES.

By signing your name above you assure you understand and agree to the terms decribed above. PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE COMING WITH A PRE-FORMED ENSEMBLE GROUP, PLEASE SUBMIT THE MEMBERS NAMES, INSTRUMENTS AND THE SPECIFIC WORK TO BE COACHED NO LESS THAN FOUR WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF YOUR ARRIVAL. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO ACCOMMODATE YOU.

By signing your name above you assure you have read the SummerKeys policy statement above and find its terms and conditions acceptable.
