MARCH/APRIL NEWSLETTER

SPRING BREAK AT PFABE'S MUSIC ACADEMY

Monday, April 6th through Saturday, Aprill 11th
 
Understanding Our Consistent Tuition Policy

We understand that you may have questions about tuition when breaks occur, so we want to be clear about how our scheduling works:

Our monthly tuition payment is calculated as a portion of your student’s annual tuition. This annual approach ensures that every student receives 48 lessons in a calendar year, regardless of which day of the week their lesson falls.

This means that all planned breaks, including those listed above, are already factored into your consistent monthly payment. If your student only has three lessons in December, rest assured they received five lessons in a previous month, ensuring the full yearly lesson count.

Our goal is to provide absolute consistency and the same excellent value for all students throughout the year. Because these scheduled closures are already accounted for in the monthly rate, we do not offer refunds or makeups for any planned academy closures.

OUR SPRING RECITAL IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER

MEET OUR NEW MASCOT... 

EDSEL THE TURTLE!

Edsel Pfabe founded Pfabe’s Music in 1946. His goal was to help future generations fall in love with making music. He traveled across Northeast Ohio visiting schools and fairs encouraging young people to take up music. While Edsel is no longer with us, his spirit lives on at Pfabe’s Music Academy. We have created Edsel the Turtle to embody that spirit and inspire young people to fall in love with making music.

We chose a turtle to represent Edsel’s spirit because turtles remind us to slow down and enjoy life. The ability to play music isn’t something that can be learned overnight. Practice shouldn’t be painful if we learn to enjoy the journey and put one foot in front of the other. This is a life long love we are cultivating. Slow and steady wins the race.

We look forward to having you on this journey with us. The journey won’t be easy, but it will be worth it. Music breathes life into everything we do, from movies to video games to sports. It makes commutes go faster and workouts feel shorter. It’s there for us when we fall in love and when we have our hearts broken. Imagine being able to bring music into the lives of those you love. It is an incredible feeling to be able to move people with music that you play for them!

Let’s go on this adventure together!
