STUDIO POLICIES

Missed Lessons

• Notification for a missed lesson must be given at least 24 hours in advance.

• There are no refunds for a missed lesson, and there are no make up lessons.

• Rescheduling is only permitted if the cancellation is due to a music- or theater-related conflict.  

• Coming to your lesson without your materials counts as a missed lesson. 

• No more than four missed lessons are permitted in a school year; more than four missed lessons may result in the loss of the student's time slot.

 

Lesson Times

The year is broken into a school year session and a separate summer session. Regardless of when the student joins the studio, they are required to commit to the school year, but may opt out of the summer session.

​

Cancellation Fees

Students are required to commit to the Fall and Spring terms, but may opt out of the Summer term.  If a student discontinues lessons before the end of the term, a $150 cancellation fee will be charged.  If the student decides to return, a $50 start-up fee will be charged.

 

Recitals

I believe recitals are an essential element of music education - plus, it gives the students a chance to show off what they have learned! We have two recitals each year; attendance at both recitals is mandatory for each student. Please take this into consideration before registering.
