RL Drum Studio Prices & Policies
Rob Labig is committed to giving his students the best possible education and learning experience. These policies support both the student and the instructor. Please read them carefully.
Student Success:
Students are expected to practice daily and keep a practice log. This is essential in order to have productive lessons.
All students will agree to regular practice outside of lesson times.
Parents agree to support the student’s practice and also to provide supplies, equipment, and a physical setting that supports the student’s practice.
Opportunities:
There will be a student recital, usually occurring in February after the Solo & Ensemble Festival. All students are strongly encouraged to participate.
Clinics, group lessons for drum set, hand drums, and percussion may be scheduled periodically for students who desire to expand their proficiency in a specific area or technique and add ensemble playing skills.
Private lessons are also available for hand drum and percussion instruction.
Rates:
Monthly lessons:
$180 for weekly ½ hour sessions
$350 for weekly full hour sessions
Tuition is due by the first lesson of each month.
Single lessons:
$50 for ½ hour session
$100 for full hour session
Payment is due at the time of the lesson.
Scheduling & Payments:
Students who cancel a lesson for any reason will still need to pay full tuition.
Lessons may be rescheduled by Rob Labig, the student, or the student’s parent/responsible party by requesting that the lesson be rescheduled a minimum of 24 hours prior to the time and date of the scheduled lesson.
Full payment is owed even if all the scheduled lessons are not fulfilled in that same calendar month due to rescheduling.
Lessons that are canceled on the same day as the lesson was scheduled to take place are not rescheduled. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of Rob Labig.
Students who are in a monthly lesson payment arrangement and give notice that they will not be attending a full month will then be prorated at the single lesson rate. A minimum of 2 weeks' notice is required before canceling or pausing a monthly lesson arrangement.
Please note:
Rob teaches 48 weeks out of the year, and the studio is closed for a total of 4 weeks each year.
The rates for monthly lessons do not change if there is a month with fewer lessons. For example, if there is a month with 5 weeks/lessons, there will be another month with only 3.
During a 6-month period of time, you/your student will receive 24 lessons total.
If a major holiday occurs during a week that Rob is teaching, students who have lessons on that holiday will likely be rescheduled.
Once you have completed the registration process, you will receive a Welcome Letter with helpful information about scheduling/rescheduling and more.
