Fees & Policies
Rhythmo Mariachi Academy reserves the right to change policies, fees, or waivers at any time.
CONSERVATORY REGISTRATION & TUITION
There is an annual $100 insurance fee at the time of registration. Tuition is $95 per month for one weekly class. Tuition is paid first of the month by online invoice or in person at studio. Your weekly class is not transferable. Tuition is neither reduced nor refunded due to missed classes by the student. Tuition is paid monthly, it is not calculated by the weekly class. Your monthly tuition rate is the same each month even though some months will have five (5) classes and others as few as three (3). Holiday and break closures have been calculated into the monthly tuition rate.
Registration and tuition fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Late Fees
If tuition payment is not received by the seventh day of the month it is considered late and a $20 late fee will be applied. There will be no exceptions.
