*Tuition increase
Beginning with January 2021 classes there will be a small increase of approximately 10% for many of NJW’s online classes. 3-week class tuition will increase to $150 (from $125). 6-week classes will be $275 (increase from $250), and one-time master classes will increase to $50 (from $35). Listening/appreciation classes will still be $100.
The increases are necessary to meet increased expenses and offset the burden of operating the Workshop without some of our usual sources of income.
At the beginning of the pandemic when NJW made a quick pivot to online classes, pricing was a shot in the dark, as we didn’t know for sure what it was going to cost to do this. Now after 10 months we have a much better idea. We are, however, keeping the increases as small as possible given the economic strain that so many of us are under.
