Make-ups:
Tuition guarantees your lesson time and, thus, there will be no make-ups for lessons missed by the student. In the event of sickness or inclement weather that makes coming to the studio difficult, a virtual lesson will be offered. In the case of a pre-planned absence, you may send over a video recording of your practice. I will review it during our normal lesson time and provide feedback and instruction on new assignments for that week.
In the event of instructor absence, a make-up lesson or lesson credit will be offered.
Withdrawals/Prolonged Absences:
Lessons are month-to-month and may be discontinued with written notice at least 2 weeks prior to the month of cancellation in order to stop payments for that following month. Lessons already paid for in the month of cancellation will not be refunded.
If a student needs to take a prolonged absence with the intent to return to lessons at a future date, please understand that the original lesson day and time may not be available. If you would like to reserve this preferred day and time, you may continue paying tuition to hold the lesson schedule until the student returns.
Lesson Expectations:
Be prepared!
- Please arrive on time for your lesson and prepared with necessary books and materials. Students must purchase their own lessons books, and we will decide together which curriculum will best serve your interests and goals!
Practice!
- Your lessons are a personal investment and it is expected that you take the time to practice your instrument on your own to make purposeful progression. We will work together to create a practice schedule that fits your lifestyle and goals.
Communicate!
-
Our lessons are a collaborative endeavor, and I want to make every effort to ensure you are challenged and motivated accurately towards your personal, musical goals!
