Studio Policies

New Students
New families must sign a copy of this policy sheet. This will be considered a contract.
All new students must commit to one month of lessons. This encourages students to give lessons a “fair shot.”

Attendance
Students are expected to arrive on time for lessons. If a student comes late, that time will not be made up at a make-up lesson.
Even if a student is 15 minutes late, we can fit in as much as possible in the remaining time.
If a student is 20 or more minutes late to a lesson, that lesson will be considered “missed” and must be made up, or no credit will be given.
There is a 24-hour cancellation policy. No show/no call will result in the loss of that lesson with no make-up.

Payment
Lessons are $25 per half hour or $45 for a 50 minute lesson.
All payments must be made in check form.
Monthly invoices will be sent via e-mail or hand delivery the week before each new month. Also, duplicate invoices will be given in paper form to each family the day the payment is due.
All payment for the month will be due at the first lesson of each new month.
There will be a $5 charge for each late payment. This fee will be included in the next month’s bill.
Notice of planned absences (i.e. vacations, appointments, etc.) must be given before or the day of the first lesson of the new month. That planned absence will not be billed; however, if notice is given after the first lesson of the month, that missed lesson will need to be made up, or it will not be credited.

Make-up Lessons
Make-up lesson are scheduled at the convenience of the teacher!  NO make-ups are considered for lessons with less than 24 hours notice.
