Monthly plans are billed according to the number of weekly lessons scheduled in each month. Most months contain four lessons. Annual rates shown are the effective per-lesson rates when receiving 12 consecutive months of lessons for the price of 11. Annual plans require a 12-month commitment. Monthly payments are still available.
The True Cost of Music Lessons
A lower lesson price doesn’t always mean a lower cost. When comparing music lessons, don’t forget the time and expense involved in travelling to and from the studio every week.
| For a 30-Minute Lesson | Traditional Studio | In-Home Lessons with Resound |
|---|---|---|
| Example lesson price (30 minutes) | $39* | $49 |
| Time spent driving (round-trip) | ~30 minutes* | 0 minutes |
| Time spent waiting during the lesson | 30 minutes | Your time is yours |
| Transportation costs | ~$5* per trip | $0 |
| Total parent time required | ~60 minutes | 0 minutes |
| Teacher comes to your home | ✕ No | ✓ Yes |
*Illustrative example using a $39 studio lesson located 15 minutes from home. Actual lesson prices, travel times, and transportation costs will vary.
What if $10 could buy back an hour of your week?
While your child learns at home, you’re free to make dinner, finish work, get some chores done, or simply relax and enjoy your evening. That’s the value of music lessons that come to you.
How Much Time Could In-Home Lessons Save Your Family?
Every family’s schedule is different. Adjust the calculator below to estimate how much time and transportation expense you could avoid by having your music teacher come to you.
There’s no right answer. Choose whatever value makes sense for you.
By choosing in-home lessons, you could get back approximately
That’s an entire workweek you won’t spend driving to and waiting at a music studio.
With Resound, your teacher comes to you. Your child learns while you keep your evening.
This calculator provides illustrative estimates only and assumes 50 lesson weeks per year, with two weeks off for Winter Break. Estimated driving costs are based on approximately $5 for a 30-minute round trip and scale proportionally with travel time. Actual fuel and vehicle costs will vary.
Have more than one child taking lessons?
The convenience of in-home lessons adds up even faster for families.
Two back-to-back 30-minute lessons at a studio 15 minutes from home can require approximately 90 minutes of a parent’s evening every week.
Over 50 weeks, that’s roughly 75 hours per year spent driving to and waiting at music lessons.
With Resound, the teacher comes to your home so your children can learn while the rest of your evening continues normally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any contracts required?
No. Music lessons with Resound are billed on a month-to-month basis, so you don’t need to commit to a long-term contract. When you enroll, we reserve a recurring weekly lesson time with your teacher. If you decide to discontinue lessons, simply provide us with 30 days’ notice.
Why do in-home lessons cost more than lessons at a studio?
Our lesson rates include something most traditional music schools don’t: your teacher travels to you.
That means no driving across town, no waiting at a studio during your child’s lesson, and no rearranging your evening around another weekly commute. Your teacher arrives at your home at your scheduled lesson time while the rest of your family can continue with their evening.
Your rate also includes teacher travel and applicable taxes, so the price you see is the price you pay.
Do your lesson rates include travel and tax?
Yes! Teacher travel and any applicable taxes are already included in our lesson rates. There are no additional travel charges for students located within our regular service areas.
How often are music lessons scheduled?
Lessons take place once per week at a recurring day and time reserved specifically for you.
Lessons continue throughout the year, including during the summer, with breaks for statutory holidays and our two-week Winter Break. Consistent, year-round lessons help students maintain momentum and continue making progress without long interruptions.
If you’re planning an extended vacation, just let our office know 30-days in advance and we’ll be happy to explain your options.
Why are lessons billed monthly instead of individually?
Music lessons work best when they’re consistent. When you enroll with Resound, we reserve the same weekly time in your teacher’s schedule specifically for you.
Rather than booking individual lessons week by week, your enrollment continues on a recurring monthly basis. This gives you a consistent teacher and lesson time while keeping scheduling and billing simple.
How is my monthly tuition calculated?
Your monthly tuition is based on the number of lessons scheduled during that particular month. Most months have four weekly lessons, while some may have three or five depending on the calendar and scheduled holidays. This means your monthly total can vary slightly from one month to another.
Can siblings or other family members take lessons too?
Absolutely! In fact, this is one of the biggest advantages of in-home music lessons.
Whenever teacher availability allows, we can arrange back-to-back lessons for siblings or family members so multiple students can take lessons without your family making multiple trips to a music studio.
We also offer a Family Discount for households with more than one student enrolled.
Can I change my lesson length later?
Yes. If you’d like to move between 30, 45, or 60-minute lessons, just contact our office. We’ll be happy to make the change whenever your teacher’s schedule can accommodate it.
Your teacher can also help recommend an appropriate lesson length based on the student’s age, experience level, goals, and progress.
Is there a registration fee?
Yes. There is a $35 annual registration fee per student. This helps support the services and resources that go beyond your weekly lesson, including student materials, account management, scheduling support, and our student recitals.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, Visa Debit, Mastercard, and American Express. Tuition is billed automatically to the payment method stored securely to your account.
