Private Lesson Pricing

Pricing is based on two school year sessions made up of 16 weekly hour long lessons. Weekly lessons are divided into two segments: the first 30 minutes is dedicated to one-on-one instruction with lessons based upon each students unique interests. The second half of each lesson is reserved for independent studio work time for students to practice their new skills with guidance from their instructor.

    Monthly Tuition: Four monthly tuition payments of $180 are due on the first of September through December. The tuition cost of the session is divided up by 16 weeks. Therefore, the monthly fee is the same regardless of the length of the month or holiday breaks in the month.

Your tuition payments will be stopped before the next payment is charged. No refunds will be provided for withdrawal after a scheduled payment has been made.

  • At Two Keys Creative Studios we hold our artists to a high standard of exceptional behavior, respectfulness, responsibility and acceptance of others. In order to maintain a safe and positive creative environment for all students we reserve the right to cancel lessons at any time for any student we feel is not following our guidelines, per our discretion.

    Work Time: In order for students to reach their highest level of artistic potential, they will need to focus on their work, create silently when necessary, try their best, and be willing to make lots of mistakes.

    Artwork Content: Each students’ artwork is a reflection of their thoughts, feelings, opinions, and experiences. It is our goal to give young artists the opportunity, tools, and space to express themselves to the fullest. When necessary, we reserve the right to gently steer students into more positive or appropriate forms of expression. These decisions are made on an individual basis.

    Clean Up: Students are expected to leave the tools, equipment, and facility as they found it for the next artist to use.
