PIANO STUDIO POLICY

Lesson Schedule. Piano lessons are conducted on a weekly basis, for either 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 1.5 hour, or 2 hours, depending on the assessed level and age of the Student. Lessons begin August 23 and end May 23. Summer classes are optional.

Each student is designated a specific, ongoing weekly day and time for lessons, that has been reserved exclusively for Student, which generally precludes Piano Studio from accepting other teaching opportunities during that time. Therefore, Students are expected to attend all scheduled lessons, unless otherwise arranged in advance with the Piano Studio.

Tuition. Tuition is due 1 week in advance or on the 1st of each month if you make auto payments. The 1st payment is for 6 weeks on or around August 23 (4 weeks thereafter).

Cancelled Lessons. I request a 48-hour cancellation notice. Note that a make-up class is not a common practice. As a courtesy to my students, I offer 3 make-up classes between August 23 and May 23 or between September 1 and June 1. Classes during the summer are on the prorated basis. Lessons cancelled by the Teacher for any reason, will be provided a make-up lesson, but will not be refunded or credited.

If your class falls on a holiday (Labor day, Thanksgiving day, etc.), please make arrangements to reschedule it. We’ll have a winter break and spring break, but I encourage you to take the lessons during both breaks.

Media Consent. Parent and/or Student hereby consents to and authorizes the Studio to capture and use video-audio recordings and photographic images of Student and Student’s musical performances and quoted statements in print, electronic, or online media, for educational and Studio promotional purposes.

Studio Expectations. Students are expected to:

Treat the Piano Studio teacher, other students, and Studio property respectfully;

Bring required lesson materials and books to each lesson.
