WHAT IF I MISS A LESSON?
Please call your teacher at least 72 hours in advance if you will miss a lesson. This
is the only way reimbursed will be issued unless there is an emergency illness, death in the
family, or inclement weather. In those cases should arise, please call your teacher 24 hours in
advance of the scheduled lesson in order to schedule a make-up lesson at a different
time.
If the instructor cancels a lesson, a make-up lesson will be given. Lesson credit is not awarded if the student forgot to
come to the lesson, had too much homework, did not practice, arrived late, etc. This policy is for the courtesy of our teachers. We appreciate your understanding of their time and schedule.
​
Additional make-up lessons may be arranged at the discretion of the private instructor.

CAN I GET A REFUND?
Though we always try to accommodate our clients to the best of our ability and we understand that plans change, unfortunately, request for refund or withdrawal will not be accepted.
​
We must strict on this policy as it ensures that our teachers are paid fairly and on time.
WHAT IF I'M TARDY OR FORGET ABOUT MY LESSON?
In case of tardiness, forgotten lesson, or not having enough time to practice, lesson
payment will not be reimbursed. Musical development and success is contingent on a
commitment to practice daily and progress in lessons.
WHEN IS PAYMENT DUE? CAN I GET A REFUND?
Full payment must be made on the 10th week of lessons. It is the responsibility of the student to keep record of their lessons; however, if you need a reminder, please fell free to ask at any time!
​
Full payment must be made before a request for refund will be considered if you sign up
for full semester.
WHAT IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE A LESSON?
Things come up, we understand. However, because of educator's tight schedules and other students, it is your responsibility to call your teacher ahead (72 hour minimum) of time and arrange to come in at a different time or day. Always notify your instructor know of an upcoming conflict. It may be possible to trade lesson times with another student. This is also a courtesy to the teacher.
