STUDIO POLICIES

SCHEDULING

All lessons are confirmed 24 hours prior by automated text reminder. Please reply right away so that I know to expect you or not. Advanced notification of planned vacations is appreciated. Also, please notify me as soon as you can if you need to change your lesson time/day in a particular week and I’ll do my best to accommodate you.

LESSON

Private lessons are one-on-one, just me and the student. I have a waiting room with activities for young siblings that can’t be heard as well as a sitting area behind a curtain should someone want to hear the lesson and not be seen. Attending the lesson must be approved by the student. Any child who is not comfortable with a parent observing will be respected.

PAYMENT

Payment is due before or at each lesson unless a lesson package has been purchased in advance. You may purchase another discount package when one is completed. Lesson packages are meant to be used consecutively and quitting will forfeit any remaining sessions. A vacation or short hiatus with a return date is an exception. I accept every form of payment except bitcoin and barter. Venmo and PayPal, cash and credit/debit are popular methods of payment.

CANCELLATION

Lessons can only be cancelled at least 24 hours in advance without incurring charges. Should you be sick that day or have an emergency, you will be excused. Frequent excused lessons with short notice will be cause to be removed from the weekly schedule and put on a week by week availability basis.
