Attendance

3 extra days are allotted to make up missed lessons. Reference the Calendar to see the dates. Only 1 missed lesson per make up day may be scheduled. 

1. If I have to miss a lesson, that lesson will be made up when teacher and family are available. No refunds are given or lessons will be prorated for the month, unless it is an expectational circumstance.
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. Lessons CANNOT be guaranteed they will be made up due to his limited availability on those 3 extra days. Lessons not made up do NOT carry over 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.

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 an 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 can be explored; they are not guaranteed.
