Terms of Use & Privacy Policy
My Lesson Policy is hereby set in order that the student gains the maximum benefit from their lessons and to ensure efficient operation. Please read this contract completely, if you have any questions don't forget to ask. . .
Scheduling Lessons
Lessons are scheduled on a presumed weekly basis. If at the time of payment, the student/parent is aware of days that they can absolutely not commit to lessons, the teacher will allow for one (1) lesson per five (4) week series to be marked absent and extended. After the schedule is set, there will not be any extensions to the lesson series and renewal date any further for reasons initiated by the student. For students with unpredictable schedules, there are packages available for non-consecutive lessons. With this option, students can call up to a day in advance of a preferred date of the lesson to check on your teacher’s availability. These lessons are only available based on teacher availability. Therefore, specific times cannot be reserved for these lessons on any regular basis.
Paying for Lessons
Students must be current with payment prior to lessons being scheduled. If the student does not renew in a timely manner, the lesson will not be placed in the schedule. The teacher is able to accept payments in person, by phone, by mail and Square pay. Lesson dues can be paid by cash, check, credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover Card)
Cancelling Lessons
Cancellation of lessons must be made with the Instructor no later than 7pm the day before your regularly scheduled lesson. It is require written notification of your cancellation either by email, text or with a voice-mail. o If you call the morning of the day of lesson being cancelled, Instructor will be forced to pull from your lesson credits. o For student no-shows, instructor will be forced to pull from your lesson credits to pay time and gas spent.
Make-up Lessons
*Make-up lessons are considered “extra” lessons from the regularly scheduled lessons. *Cancelled lessons initiated by the students will not be credited towards the next series of lessons. The lesson series will not be extended, nor will tuition renewal be delayed. *Make-up lessons are void if arrangements are not made within 30-days of the cancellation. *Make-up lessons are void if student is not current with enrollment. *Students who are not enrolled for regular lessons are not obligated make-up lessons. *For supplemental classes (theory/ensemble/band/choir), there are no make-ups or lesson credits for missed classes. *Missed lessons will ONLY be credited towards the next series of lessons if the cancelled lesson is initiated by the teacher or a substitute is not scheduled. Refusal of a substitute is not grounds for lesson credit.
Substitutions
The instructor reserves the right to have substitutes come teach lessons on his behalf and sometimes without prior notice.
