The Studio: Policies and Fees

POLICIES

Private Lessons

The student should bring all materials as assigned by the teacher to each lesson.

Lessons must begin and end on time. If a student arrives late, the lesson time will not be extended. The subsequent student’s lesson will begin on time.

When group lessons are scheduled by the private teacher, that lesson will count as the student’s private lesson for that week.

Parents are welcome in private lessons; however, small children are not allowed to visit in the lesson, and must not be left unattended.

Regular lessons are not scheduled during breaks. The teacher may use these days for make-up lessons, if desired.

Missed Lessons

The student is expected to attend each lesson. If an absence is necessary, the student must notify their teacher 24 hours before the missed lesson.

Acceptable reasons for absence include:

Illness, family emergency, planned trips

Unacceptable reasons for absence include:

Visiting friends, extra-curricular activities (ball practice/games, dance lessons, etc.)

Make-up lessons may be offered at the teacher’s convenience provided the absence is acceptable.

If the required notification is not given, no make-up lesson will be scheduled.

If a student simply does not show up for a lesson, no make-up lesson will be scheduled.

Should a teacher need to cancel a lesson, the student will be notified and a make-up lesson will be scheduled.

In the event of inclement weather, please contact your instructor to see if the lesson will be given.
