ABOUT THE ACADEMIE MUSIQUE
The Academie Musique, the music preparatory program at Temple College, seeks to provide
high-quality, reasonably priced music programs for children of the surrounding communities.
This program also serves as a laboratory setting, which provides college students with skills and
training necessary to become qualified music teachers. Lessons with these students, who are
mentored by Temple College music faculty, are available at a reduced fee.
Instruction is provided, depending on teacher availability, in string instruments: Violin, viola,
cello, bass, guitar; flute; saxophone; trumpet; percussion and piano. Voice is offered for
students ages 12 and up.

POLICIES
TUITION
Students enroll for a four, six or eight private lesson term, which may be paid in full or divided into 2 equal payments.
The $35 non-refundable administration fee is due by May 31 in order to hold your place for the summer session. The
student may not start any classes or lessons until this fee is paid in its entirety. The first tuition payment is due by the
first class. The second payment is due by August 1.
Students are responsible for paying for all lessons even if lessons are discontinued before the semester ends, as
our teachers are contracted for the entire semester.
Private Lessons – July 2 – Aug. 16 Mon. – Thu.
Each student will receive a minimum of four lessons for the summer.
Instruction is provided, depending on teacher availability, in string instruments: Violin, viola, cello, bass, guitar;
flute; saxophone; trumpet; percussion and piano. Voice is offered for students ages 12 and up.
Makeup Lessons
Students and teachers will have flexibility in scheduling during the summer months. However, makeup lessons will
be scheduled only when the private teacher has been notified the preceding evening by 9 pm. Any exceptions
require the approval of the director. A maximum of two lessons may be rescheduled a semester. A student who is 15
minutes late is considered a “no show.” The private teacher is responsible for making up all lessons or partial lessons
he or she missed.
ALL SUMMER LESSONS MUST BE COMPLETED BY AUGUST 16.
PRIVATE LESSON FEE SCHEDULE SUMMER 2012
Please contact the program director, Lois Reiter, or for returning students, the individual teacher, before signing up
for a specific number of lessons. Summer payments for eight lessons may be divided into two equal payments.
Payment is due June 2 and July 30.
A $35 summer registration fee covers all private lessons and camps for the
summer of 2012.
