Enrollment FAQ

A: Yes, students first joining Levine after the beginning of the school year can begin anytime, if a teacher is available. Continuing students must enroll from the beginning of the school year.

A: Most group classes do not allow new students to enter past the first or second meeting, but there are exceptions. First Music classes can often accommodate late enrollments, as can the ensemble classes (such as the chamber orchestras). Contact Glenn Sewell, Director of Adult and Group Instruction (gsewell@levinemusic.org), with questions on late group or ensemble enrollment.

A: For private lesson, yes, tuition is always pro-rated. For group classes, no, tuition is generally not pro-rated for those who join after the class is underway—but there may be some exceptions. Contact Glenn Sewell, Director of Adult and Group Instruction (gsewell@levinemusic.org), with questions on group class pro-rating.

A: Yes, under some conditions.

• If you are joining Levine after the beginning of the school year, you are expected to enroll only for the remainder of the year.
• If you are an adult student, you may customize your schedule at Levine provided there is a teacher who is willing to provide the flexibility. This should be discussed with the faculty chair during the placement session.
• Summer enrollments need not include the school year, and can be for limited portions of the summer.

A: Yes, tuition payment options are available. View payment plan information.

A: Like other professional services, Levine reserves a specific day of the week and time slot in your instructor’s studio for your lesson (per our Academic Calendar) which we are unable to fill in your absence. For this reason, Levine does not provide refunds or make-up lessons for student absences including, but are not limited to: travel, school, and illness. In the event that you cannot come to your in-person lesson, we encourage you to use your lesson time by taking an on-line lesson with your teacher, or sending in a self-recording that your teacher may use to provide feedback.

A: Only those classes that are cancelled by the teacher or by a Levine closure will be made up.

A: Students must provide their instructors with four weeks’ notice if circumstances lead to a withdrawal from private lessons. Students must give one week’s notice of withdrawal before the start of a group class.

Please submit this form to request a refund or withdrawal from a private lesson or group class. You may also send an email to Student Services, sservices@levinemusic.org as another way to request a refund or withdrawal.

A: Some Levine teachers are designated as “master teachers” due to their notable experiences and skills. Students paired with master teachers pay a premium tuition rate. For more information, please contact a Department Chair or Student Services.

A: Yes, if you feel the potential need to change teachers, the first and most important thing to do is to speak to the Department Chair about your options. The Department Chair will guide you in speaking to the current teacher and selecting a new teacher.

A: A jury is an opportunity for students to perform and receive feedback from a panel of other teachers, that are different than a student’s main instructor. Levine holds juries twice yearly, in December and May during Levine performance weeks. These brief performances are customarily held without an audience. All Levine students participate in a jury or another performance opportunity as designated by their department.
