Attendance

Most make up lessons will not be rescheduled unless it is an extreme emergency. Families can view available lesson times and reschedule accordingly via an online scheduling system.

1. If I have to miss a lesson, that lesson will be made up when teacher and family are available.
2. If a scheduling error is made, you will receive one extra lesson at no extra charge.
3. Even if your student is ill or injured, lessons can be supplemented building different musical skills such as rhythmic or melodic dictation, interval training, study of composers, history of keyboard development, etc.
4. If the student is unable to attend, family members can take the lesson time as well. It gives the family a great idea of what really goes on during the lessons of their family member!
5. If no times are available to make up missed lessons online, they CANNOT be guaranteed they will be made up due to his limited availability. Lessons not made up do NOT carry over into the summer and into the following school year.
6. If students miss too many lessons, they may forfeit their spot in the studio to make room for students available to attend weekly lessons.

Holidays: Religious holidays will always be made up at the best available time.

Weather: If questionable, a decision will be made 2 hours ahead of the scheduled lesson and you will be notified via electronic communication. 

• If the studio is in session while students cancel to weather, that lesson is not guaranteed to be made up.
• If I cancel due to weather, lessons will be made up. 
• In extreme weather circumstances, up to 2 days of lessons will not be made up or refunded.

It is understood if breaks need to be taken. Unfortunately, that time cannot be held open should the student want to come back the following session.

Once a lesson time is determined for the academic school year, it does not change. However, if something arises where a lesson time change is necessary, adjustments in any possible way will be made to accommodate your needs.
