TRIAL LESSONS

One trial lesson is offered to each new student before committing to a weekly schedule & monthly payment plan.  Trial lessons are to be paid for at the time of the lesson.

 

PAYMENT POLICY

Weekly lessons are to be paid for on a monthly basis.  Lessons fees are due at the first lesson of each monthly session.  If you know of a scheduling conflict in advance, you may *reschedule that week’s lesson or simply exclude it from your schedule & payment for the month. To ensure that each student can maintain his or her reserved lesson day & time, we require that 3 out of 4 or 4 out of 5 weekly lessons be paid for in any month regardless of a scheduling conflict.

 

RESCHEDULING POLICY

At least 24 hours notice is required to be eligible for rescheduling.  Students are allowed 1 makeup lesson per monthly session (when at least 24 hours advance notice has been given to the instructor by telephone).

 

LESSON COMMITMENT

Our scheduling and payment terms are structured based on the contracts we hold with our instructors. Learning an instrument requires a commitment on the part of both the student and teacher.  To be courteous to our teaching staff and fellow students, we appreciate attendance at all lessons at their scheduled times. Both student and teacher benefit, when we maintain a regular schedule.
