Studio Policies


Practice

To learn any instrument well, you must practice a minimum of 5 days a week, preferably every day. Your required practice time shall be equal to your lesson length. For example, if your lesson is 30 minutes, your required practice time each day shall be 30 minutes. If a student is NOT meeting the minimum requirements of practice, the student will be dismissed from the studio.

Cancellations

If you are unable to attend a lesson, you are required to provide at least a 24-hour notice.  THERE ARE NO MAKE-UP LESSONS.

In the event of an emergency or sickness, every effort will be made to reschedule the lesson. It is the student's responsibility to reschedule the lesson within 4 weeks of the missed lesson.

Tuition

Tuition is due at the first of every month. A $10.00 late fee will be added to any tuition paid after the 10th of the month.  ALL LESSONS SHALL BE PAID FOR, including the lessons the student does not attend.
