Lesson Schedule & Tuition Policy:

Missed Lessons:

Absolutely no make-up lessons will be given for missed lessons. Tuition is a flat monthly or weekly fee. We do not give any make-ups or reschedules because the teachers are paid for all lessons whether students attend lessons or not. We fully recognize that a student cannot make each and every lesson all year, therefore, we give you 3 free lessons per calendar year. Each quarter there is a month where there is 5 lessons in the month instead of 4. These are the lessons that you receive at no charge but we still pay our teachers for these lessons.

Absences:

Unscheduled Absences- If you are absent from a lesson for any reason, please notify our staff at the lesson desk as soon as possible. Regardless of the nature of your absence, you are still responsible for payment of that lesson, as your teacher is still obligated to be present for your scheduled time. There will be no credits issued and no makeups.

Scheduled Absences- If you are aware of a specific absence please notify the staff at the beginning of the month. You will be entitled to 2 lessons per calendar year that you are not charged and can use at your discretion with at least 2 weeks advance notice, after you have been with the school for 3 months. Students usually used these 2 credits for vacation time.

Substitutions:

The school reserves the right to provide a substitute teacher if the regularly scheduled teacher is ill or otherwise unable to teach classes. If a teacher is unavailable and the school can not arrange a substitute, any missed lesson will be credited. In the event that your teacher is unavailable for a lessons, a substitute teacher from our staff (chosen by your normal teacher) will be present to fill in. In rare cases where a substitute is not available, we will credit your account for that lesson. You will not receive a credit if you choose not to be present for a substitute teacher. Please keep in mind, substitute teachers are teachers on staff.

Inclement Weather:

If lesson are canceled due to inclement weather, the school will notify you. If have not been contacted before you leave home for your lesson, please call ahead to make sure lessons have not been canceled. You will receive a credit to your account if we cancel lessons.

Holidays:

If your lesson is scheduled on a holiday that is observed by the school, there will be no charge for that lesson. Recognized holidays are New Years Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Years Eve.

Removal from Schedule / Discontinuing Monthly Lessons:

Music Lessons are on a monthly basis. If you wish to discontinue lesson you may do so at any time but we will not reimburse any tuition fees id lessons are stopped during the month. Please give notice to the lesson staff as soon as you know you will be stopping to avoid any additional tuition fees being charged to you.

You are responsible for any and all lessons, on a monthly basis, whether you attend lessons or not, as long as you remain on the schedule.

Care of Students

The school is not responsible for providing supervision or care for students before or after class or lessons. Parents with students under the age of 5 are asked to remain in the school during lessons. Students are not to be left for excessive time before or after lessons. Students are expected to follow a code of behavior at all times while on school property. Damage to school property or inappropriate behavior/language will not be tolerated. Students in violation of this policy will be subject to removal from the schedule.
