New Billing Rates Effective August 3, 2009 New Student Tuition Rates (sign up before):  To keep tuition down Texas Academy of Music has incorporated automated credit/debit card billing through Bank of America which debits your Visa, Mastercard, or Discover each month for student tuition.  This can be done with any debit card with Visa, Mastercard, or Discover Card logo. 

Net 30 Billing*****NOTE:  Statement billing via check may be used on a per case basis, but is an additional $40 per month for this service per billing account, not per student session.

Automated billing is automatically billed to your credit card on the 1st day of each calendar month for the full tuition amount each month with regard to whichever regular or discounted rate you are eligible.  There are NO partial or per-lesson billings. 

There are no term contracts to sign at Texas Academy of Music, but adult students and parents/guardians of minor students are required to give a 30-day notice of intent to cancel before the next billing which is the first calendar day of each month.  If a 30-day cancellation notice is given, but overlaps after the next billing cycle, the tuition will still be charged for the next full month's tuition.

Missed Lessons:  when you register and choose your day and time of the week, this is your day and time.  There are absolutely no make-up lessons offered.  If you missed your time then you miss your lesson for that week.  We are sorry that we cannot be more flexible with this policy, but we not have over 210 students enrolled and cannot accommodate missed lesson times.  However, if a teacher is absent or out, you will be credited or allowed a make-up.
