Parent/Guardian Responsibility
For the safety of minors as well as adults, parents should remain in the room while the lesson, whether private or semi-private, is taking place.
Preparing for the lessons
Your child’s lesson time has been set at a specific time. Please make sure your child arrives a few minutes early so that he/she may have time to get unpacked and ready for the lesson.
Please make sure your child is prepared when he/she arrives. This means having their music book, pencil, instrument, and a smile!
Discipline
We love teaching your child and we love it even more when we can spend the time instructing and learning. If a discipline issue arises, we will deal with it during the lesson time. However, we would also hope to work with you, the parent, on how best to handle your child if a situation occurs.
Attendance and Make-Up Policies
The Attendance Policy Tuition covers 15 weeks of instruction (weekly lessons). Your instructor has reserved a regular time for your instruction. If an emergency causes the regular instructor to miss a class or lesson without providing a substitute instructor the lesson will be made up. Because of the number of students an instructor has, along with a very specific schedule, lessons missed (for group lessons) because of sickness will not be made up.
If schools close for weather or any other reason, all lessons for that day will be canceled, as well. Lessons canceled for weather will be made up according to the instructor’s schedule.
