General Studio Policies
PRIVATE LESSONS:
Once your scheduled lesson time is in place, it is expected that music study takes priority. In the event that you cannot make your regular lesson time, contact the studio directly: pleasantstreetmusicstudio@gmail.com. With at least 48 hours notice, we may be able to offer an alternate lesson time, but this is not guaranteed. There are 4 make-up weeks (by appointment) scheduled throughout the 2020-2021 year. Makeups will not be given outside of this window, so please plan accordingly. If you or your child are ill, you must cancel your lesson. Refer to 2020-2021 Calendar for studio closings.
GROUP CLASSES:
There are no make-ups for missed classes. In the event of teacher absence or inclement weather, an alternate class will be offered.
ALL STUDIO:
In the event of inclement weather or a teacher cancellation, we will notify you of cancellation via email by noon. No news means that we have not cancelled lessons. Note: We do not follow school closings. If a teacher must cancel a regularly scheduled lesson/class, alternate times will be provided. If the student wishes to discontinue lessons or class, one month's advance written notice is required. There are no refunds. Teacher reserves the right to discontinue lessons/class enrollment based on disruptive behavior, limited progress due to insufficient practice, or failure to meet payment obligations.
All students must have their required books and materials for lessons/classes, to be determined by teacher on a case-by-case basis. All required books and materials are included in tuition cost. It is expected that students have a well-maintained instrument at home with which to practice.
