MUSIC STUDIO POLICIES (Revised June 2020)

 

HOW LESSONS WORK 

We schedule once a week OR once every other week (bi weekly) lessons.  Once the teacher and student’s family have agreed upon a lesson time, that day/time slot becomes that student’s time.  The teacher agrees not to schedule anything else during that time slot and the student agrees to come for lessons and pay for that slot for the entire month.  

VIRTUAL LESSONS

Virtual lessons are available on a permanent basis or as an option for students who normally come to our studio for lessons but weather or another factor makes it difficult for them to get to the lesson.  

FAMILY VACATIONS/SPECIAL EVENTS

Please inform the teacher one month in advance if there is a lesson(s) you will need to miss for a family vacation, school event etc.  If the teacher is given one month notice these days will not be charged on your invoice so you will not need to do a makeup.

 

MAKEUP SESSIONS

If the student needs to cancel a lesson a makeup lesson may be scheduled if it can be worked out between the teacher and student’s schedule; as an in-person or online lesson.

DO I OWE ANYTHING IF THE TEACHER MISSES/CANCELS A LESSON OR CLASS?

No, as long as your account does not have a balance on it, it will be credited back to you the following month if you have already paid that month’s invoice.  If your invoice has not been paid yet we will remove it from that month’s invoice.

 

WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE NOT PAID MY MONTHLY INVOICE BY THE DUE DATE:

If you have not paid your invoice by the due date another copy of that invoice will be sent to you.  If the bill remains unpaid 5 days later a $10 late fee will be added to the month’s invoice.   If a bill remains unpaid by the 1st day of the following month your lessons will be put on hold until the bill has been paid; we will consider your lesson time slot “open” and may offer this lesson slot to another customer. 

CAN I DISCONTINUE LESSONS
Yes, at any time..  Please give us 2 weeks notice if you plan to stop taking lessons.
