Policy
These policies help to create an environment for students to make steady progress.
Starting the Lessons
You may sign up for lessons at any time. We will coordinate the schedule when you sign up to start lessons. If there are no openings, you can be added to the waiting list, if you would like.
Student Absence and Make-up Lessons
To be eligible for a courtesy make-up lesson, please inform me of your absence via email, text, or phone call at least 24 hours before your scheduled lesson. In the case of an unforeseen illness, accident, or emergency, please contact me as soon as possible. I will do my best to reschedule based on the next available openings.
If I am unable to offer a make-up lesson, the lesson will be credited to the following month. If no absence notice is received at least 24 hours in advance, the lesson will be counted as missed.
Instructor Absences
If I am unable to teach an in-person lesson, I will offer to conduct it online instead. If I cannot teach at all, I will reschedule the lesson based on available openings. If we cannot coordinate a make-up lesson that fits your schedule, I will credit the lesson to the following month.
Be on Time
Please arrive on time, as I cannot extend the lesson for tardiness. Students arriving more than half of their lesson period late will be considered as having missed the lesson.
Tuition
Private lessons and semi-private lessons are billed monthly and payments are due at the first lesson of each month. For Music Exploration Class and Atre Online Music Class are billed quarterly. If you make a late payment, there is no guarantee that you will keep your reserved time slot for the lessons.
