Here at New England Flute Institute, your tuition pays for a lot more than just your weekly scheduled lesson time. Below are 10 things besides your exclusive lesson time that your tuition pays for.

1. Planning & Preparation

As instructor, Yulia Berry spends time planning your lessons and your program. She even does research browsing libraries and archives or  newly published music, books and methods to see what would be perfect just for you! She will do everything she can to make your lesson time productive and fun.

 2. Materials 

Unlike other studios, we never invoice you for any materials. Books, music and print outs of music activitites, music theory and history are all included in your monthly tuition!

 3. Recitals & Events

You get opportunity to perform regularly with a professional accompanist at beautiful venues. Recitals are concidered performance classes and are included in your monthly tuition. We handle paying for renting venues, the accompanist work on the recital day, designing and printing posters, programs and certificates, holding receptions, congratulating all students with flowers, souvenirs and awards. Take a look at pictures on our website or our social accounts of some of the amazing places our students play.

*What is not included in your tuition: piano rehearsals.
Piano rehearsals are necessary to prepare for a public performance or to keep growing as a musician and move to the next level.
The number and length of piano rehearsals is determined individually. It takes 1-3 rehearsals to prepare for an event and depends on the student level, progress, goal and the accompanist's availability.
The students will be billed for the rehearsals separately.

 4. Lesson enrichment 

Lessons and tuition include: Music Theory, Music History, Music Quizzes, Rhythm Developing Games, Ensembles, Incentives. These extras are only available at New England Flute Institute. Yulua Berry spends a lot of time, energy and finances, searching for, creating and planning this enrichment program to be included in your music curriculum.
