Tuition Policies 2009-10

Monthly lesson programs:  Students will receive four 30-minute music lessons each
month.  Each student will have a reserved time for their weekly lesson on the teaching
schedule.  If there is a 5th week in a given month, there will be no lesson on that date,
unless as a pre-arranged make-up lesson or an extra scheduled lesson (with tuition
added).  Students will receive a lesson schedule at the beginning of each month for the
four lessons so they can plan their schedules accordingly.

Tuition:  Monthly tuition for individual students covers four weekly 30-minute private
lessons. Students will be given one makeup lesson each month at no additional cost, if
needed, to be scheduled at a mutually convenient time.  Unused lessons or make-up
sessions do not carry over into subsequent months. Tuition is due at the time of the first
lesson of each month. If that lesson is cancelled, tuition will be due by Friday of that week.
Monthly tuition is non-refundable.

Lesson start and stop times: Lessons will be scheduled at a set time each week.
Regardless of when the lesson begins, each lesson will last its full 30 minutes.

Cancellation and make-up policies:  There will be one monthly make-up lesson
available per student per month, if needed.  Please notify the instructor at least 3 hours
ahead of time, if possible, if you need to reschedule a lesson. If a student is more than 10
minutes late for a lesson, it is considered a non-refundable no show.  Failure to cancel a
lesson is considered a no show and a make-up lesson is not offered.

Sickness policy:  In order to protect the health of fellow students, if a student is too sick
to go to school, please reschedule the lesson.  If there are other children in the house
with a contagious sickness, such as strep throat, please contact the instructor ahead of
the lesson so we can evaluate whether to hold the lesson. This protects all of the other
students who receive instruction from us.

Parent attendance: Parent attendance is welcomed, but not required. Siblings and
friends may not attend lessons. This is for the benefit of the student.

Lesson preparation: To maximize our learning time, students should be prepared for
their lessons by having piano music and homework with them at every lesson. This will
help us get started quickly and allow us to get the most teaching time out of our 30
minutes together.
