STUDIO POLICIES

Missed Lessons

• There are no refunds for missed lessons.

• There are no makeup lessons.

• Lesson rescheduling occurs only if there is time in the schedule.

• Each student is encouraged to find another student to exchange time slots.

• Coming to a lesson without your materials will count as a missed lesson.

 

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

When you sign up for lessons, you are committing to an entire school year (summer lessons not included). Dropping out of lessons at any time before the end of the school year will result in a cancellation fee of $150 per student. If you drop out but decide to return, there will be an additional restart fee of $50.

 

​

Recitals

Because I believe recitals are an essential element of music education, recitals are mandatory. We have two recitals during the school year session. There is no charge to participate, but there is a $35 fee per student for missing a recital. Please take this into consideration before registering.
