studio policies

  1. The lesson year consists of three trimesters: fall (September-November), winter (December-February), and spring (March-May). Each trimester has ten lessons.

  2. The instructor assigns a lesson time to each student. Students typically have one lesson each week but no lessons on major national holidays or during predesignated breaks.

  3. Please arrive five minutes before your scheduled lesson time. For courtesy of other students, please do not arrive too soon before your scheduled lesson time.

  4. No gum is allowed during lessons.

  5. Contact the instructor if the student will miss a lesson. Missed lessons can be made up only in the same trimester that the original lesson was missed. The instructor will periodically notify students if and when make-up lessons are available. At the end of the semester, students forfeit any and all missed lessons.

  6. The instructor reserves the right to cancel any lesson with no refund, credit, or make-up lesson. However, under most circumstances, the instructor will find a lesson alternative or schedule a make-up lesson.

  7. The instructor reserves the right to discontinue any student’s lessons at any time, for any and no reason, and without refund.
