Conservatory Recitals
Many students who participate in Buckley Conservatory lessons choose to perform in the Spring Conservatory Recitals at the end of the school year.
Lessons are available on most weekdays between 2:30 and 5:30 p.m., with the exception of Wednesdays (early dismissal), when lessons begin at 1:30 p.m. Conservatory instructors pick up students from the play yard after dismissal and walk them to their lesson.
Fees and Payment
All lessons are purchased by the semester, determined by the maximum number of lessons available per grade level for that term, for lessons rendered on campus. Once a slot has been confirmed, the student will be privately registered through the Camp Brain billing system and the Buckley family will receive a confirmation for payment. Registration is not open publicly, due to the scheduling involved.
| Duration | Cost |
|---|---|
| 30 minutes lesson | $52 |
| 45 minutes lesson | $70 |
| 60 minutes lesson | $85 |
Cancellations
If you'd like to cancel a lesson, we ask that you do so at least 24 hours prior to the start time of your lesson. Any cancellations made without an advance notice may risk the possibility of the lesson not being rescheduled or credited, unless the cancellation was due to an emergency (illness, accident, etc.), of which the instructor may exercise discretion. This courtesy serves to provide our instructors with enough flexibility to adjust their schedules.
