Lesson Payment & Cancellation Policy
- Please READ
Taking music lessons requires a commitment from
both student and teacher. I am committed to your
scheduled lesson time each week.
Please be on time for your lesson each week and
practice your assigned material.
The following policy will help ensure students are
not wasting their time or mine.
1. Advance Payment: Lessons are to be paid for,
in advance, in 4 or 5 week cycles, at the
BEGINNING of each calendar month.
The cost is $100.00 for 4 weekly lessons. Some
months will have 5 lesson dates. In this case, pay
$125 for 5 weeks in advance for any calendar
month containing 5 weekly lesson dates. Cash,
check, PayPal, credit/debit card accepted.
2. Cancellations: Students are asked to give at
least 24-hour notice to cancel a scheduled lesson;
except in the case of illness or other last-minute
conflict, in which case students are asked to inform
me as soon as they know they will be missing their
scheduled lesson time.
A make-up lesson will be scheduled at the earliest
possible date (often the next day or the following
weekend). All missed lessons must be made up
within that month or forfeited. Missed lessons will
no longer carry over into the next month.
Exceptions will be made for illnesses, vacations, or
if we are unable to find a mutually convenient date
before month's end.
I am VERY flexible with scheduling and
accommodating your hectic schedules as much as
practical.
If the student does not show up for the
agreed-upon make-up date, student will forfeit that
lesson.
3. No-shows: If the student fails to show up and
doesn't call or text to inform me, the student will
forfeit that lesson and no make-up lesson will be
scheduled. Any student who misses two
consecutive lessons without calling/texting (either
before or after the missed lesson) will be assumed
to have quit and will be dropped from my schedule.
4. Cancellation by teacher: If I need to miss a
lesson I will notify you as soon as possible and we
will schedule a make-up lesson.
All scheduled lessons cancelled by me will be
credited to you and a make-up lesson time will be
scheduled with you.
5. LATE for Lesson: Students more than 5 minutes
late for their lesson will not get the full 30 minutes.
Most lessons are scheduled back-to-back. Your
lesson will end when it is time for the next student's
lesson to begin. If your lesson starts late because
my schedule is running behind, you WILL get your
full 30 minutes.
6. Refunds: If student decides to quit taking
lessons in the middle of a 4-week lesson cycle, all
remaining lessons will be forfeited.
No refunds will be given.
7. Illness: If you are coughing or sneezing or have
any illness that may be contagious - PLEASE- DO
NOT come in for your lesson. Especially if it's a
cold or flu. We will schedule a makeup lesson for
when you are feeling better.
Even if you have to cancel at the last minute, I
would prefer you do that instead of showing up sick.
8. Snow Days: If school was cancelled, then
lessons may be cancelled as well. Students who
live in the nearby neighborhoods and can make it
here safely may still be able to attend their lesson if
they choose. In the case of a snowstorm, make-up
days will likely be held the following weekend or as
soon as possible. Call/text to confirm your time or
schedule another day/time.
