Although some of you take your holidays off, you also know I have worked with you on holidays to ensure you/your child has a lesson or makeup.
Online video telecast lessons are now encouraged and available to be used for make-up.on Fridays, at the teacher's availability.
​
You will be responsible for securing and paying for your August classes on my calendar by end of May
​
Lesson tuition, Payment, Missed Lessons, and Recitals:
Private individual lessons are conducted on a weekly basis 30, 45 or 60 minutes.
​
Your monthly tuition will be calculated depending on the date you join the studio.
Tuition is based on a 10 month period and is paid monthly.
Tuition payments are expected on the first day of the month, Acceptable forms of payment are, Cash, Check or Zelle.
​
This is a private studio and is similar to a private school. Tuition remains the same each month and is based on enrollment, and not attendance. When you enroll and pay your tuition, you are reserving your child’s exclusive lesson time throughout the academic year, whether he/she attends lessons or not.
For new students: There is a one-time enrollment fee of $40, which is non-refundable. If you leave the studio for any reason, longer than 30 days, you will be subject to a new enrollment fee.
​
It is not the teacher’s responsibility to reschedule a student’s lesson if he/she has a conflict. A student who does not attend a lesson will simply miss the benefit of that lesson. Your tuition reserves you or your child a weekly time slot and benefits within the studio.
Music Link Students must gave 60% attendance during the 10-month period.
​
Please give 24 hours’ notice if possible when canceling a lesson. There are ONLY allowable excused lessons per calendar year, which can be made up upon request in person, or online.
There is a one- time recital charge of a 30 or 45-minute lesson if you want a recital. You do not have to have a recital.
​
If you are traveling during a month and are out for an extended time within the month, please pay the single rate of $40 per lesson in that month. For example, you're missing two weeks of the month, pay for the remaining two weeks of lessons.
​
I will not make up my vacation days
​
From time-to-tine, I will ask for your permission take a picture or video of you or your child and post to Instagram
​​
Many months during the our calendar year, you will receive the benefit of a free lesson, when they are 5 weeks in a month. This will be taken into consideration, when planning your breaks, absences, makeups and vacations
​
Discontinuation of Lessons:
​
To discontinue lessons, you or the student must provide at least one month’s or 30 day's advance written or oral notice. If the student does not submit the required advance notice, the student will be liable for one month’s worth of tuition, even if no lessons are provided during that month
I reserve the right to discontinue lessons for any reason. The reasons for discontinuation are:​
​
Persistent absences/tardiness
Excessive requests for scheduling changes
Lack of progress due to insufficient practice
Uncooperative attitude or general dislike of lessons
Consistently and repeatedly going over lesson time, and being tardy.
