POLICY FOR MUSIC LESSONS

 

1. Payments are to be made monthly, no later than the first week of lessons per month. A late of $10 will be implemented and added to the original fee if payments are made later than the tenth of each month.

2. If you are someone who has made personal payment plans with me, you will be excluded from the $10 late fee.

3. If payments are missed for two or more months, your lesson times will be given to someone else, and you will need to contact me for a new time.

4. Cancellations will still require full payment at the beginning of the month. A makeup lesson may be scheduled at my discretion. If common cancellations occur, no makeup lessons will be offered.

5. If I, as the teacher, miss lessons due to sickness, medical reasons, or an emergency, I will allow the missed lesson day count as credited payment for the following month, or for a makeup lesson to be scheduled if time allows.

6. If a lesson is missed because of forgetfulness, noncommunication, or negligence, a makeup lesson will not be offered, and the time will not count towards the following month.

7. If you plan on taking a family vacation or missing a lesson, please inform me at least 7 days before, or at the earliest opportunity so I can plan my schedule accordingly.

8. A makeup lesson may be scheduled at my discretion, and payment is still expected for the full month.

9. If a student’s instrument breaks while in lessons, it will be the duty of their parent or guardian to repair it, and I will not be held accountable or liable for strings broken, music lost*, broken instruments, or any other supplies, whether personal or lesson related.

10. If you, as a student, or parent/guardian of student, struggle financially, payment plans can be put in place at my discretion.

​​

*If music is lost, the student or parent/guardian will be expected to replace it with a new copy.

EVENT MUSIC POLICY
