MISSED LESSONS: Students are expected to attend lessons on a continual basis on the same day at the same time each week unless other, special arrangements are made on the front end. If a student misses a lesson for any reason, payment is still required & will not be refunded. This policy is in place in order to reserve the student's slot in the instructor's schedule, and also helps ensure that our staff of teachers can count on their students showing up for their scheduled lessons.

LATE PAYMENT & BOUNCED CHECK FEES: The monthly tuition payment for private music instruction must be received on or before the second week of each month. If the student fails to meet that deadline, there may be a penalty of $20 for the late payment. If tuition check bounces, student will incur $40 overdraft fee plus $20 late fee.
