Dear Students and Parents
Due to rising costs in the basic cost of living (rent, insurance, health insurance, hospital bills, everything) we at the South Bay School of Music Arts find it necessary to increase our rates beginning October 2017. The tuition for students who take 30 minute lessons weekly will be $150 per month. Those students taking hour lessons, the rate will be $275 per month.
I know that we are all faced with this dilemma. I, also, know that I don't want to lose any students over money. A good student is a good student and I love good students. So, if, for any reason, this will cause some sort of problem, feel free to contact me so we can discuss options. Other teachers here at South Bay can't do this but me, being an owner, can make adjustments to my own income.
Thank you and I hope that this will work for all of us.
Drummingly Yours,
Joe Santoro
