Attendance

Please make sure that your child arrives punctually with music, assignment book, and any other relevant materials. I am unable to extend the lesson times of students who arrive late. Kindly drop off and pick up on time please. Anything more than 5 minutes early is too much unless there is a special need, as it is very distracting for students whose lesson is in progress

1. Missed Lessons. Your lesson time is reserved exclusively for your student. Missed lessons are not made up, nor are fees adjusted. The private lesson time is only a portion of what is covered by the tuition fee.

2. Studio Closure. When the studio is closed, no make up lessons are given and no tuition payment is necessary. I do not expect you to pay for my vacations. When the studio is open, tuition is due for lessons.

3. Make-Ups Lessons. Please give me at least 24 hours' notice of a lesson cancellation if you wish a make-up lesson. If I was not able to answer your call please leave me a message on my answering machine. Otherwise, you must pay for the lesson without taking it because your time is reserved specifically for you. Make-ups are not available for last minute changes (less than 24 hours' notice) such as car trouble, heavy homework, orthodontic appointments, rescheduled sport games, other illness in the family, etc. I keep hold of to this policy firmly.

Exception: If you/your child becomes ill overnight or comes home sick, call me right away. We will schedule a make-up.

If it is necessary to cancel a lesson without making it up (per the guidelines above) please call no later than noon of the lesson day. There will be no refund for missed or forgotten lessons. There are no exceptions to this policy.

Lessons cancelled for teacher illness, emergencies, or vacations will be made up or the tuition fee will be credited to your account.

In the case of severe weather conditions, when it is too dangerous to drive, we will try to arrange another time.

Responsibilities: The goal of this studio is to provide a well-balanced musical education to all students. In order to accomplish this, I have set down specific policies. Studying music can be enjoyable and rewarding as well as becoming a skill that can last a lifetime, but it takes commitment from the parents as well as the teacher and student. This commitment is necessary to the success of the student.
