Studio Policies

What to Expect: Your student will receive engaging, creative lessons with a tailored curriculum that provides solid technique skills and complete musical training.

·        Students are taught all aspects of musicianship: rhythmic sensibility, body balance, hand position, finger strength, reading skills, performing skills, aural/pitch development, and kinesthetic awareness.

·        They receive weekly lesson notes that include a Daily Practice Guide - this is specific to their musical progress and includes technical studies, repertoire, creative practice, and weekly goals for them to work toward.

Missed Lessons: Studio membership means the student commits to a lesson time that is exclusively reserved for them and it’s expected they will attend all scheduled lessons. However, sometimes events or illness will arise and lessons are missed.  

·        Before you cancel, consider having the lesson virtually - text 984-600-5256 for the zoom link at least 30 minutes prior to your scheduled lesson time.

·        Please cancel lessons up to four (4) hours before the scheduled lesson time as a courtesy to your teacher. Log onto your account, select the lesson date from the calendar, and follow link to cancel. If a lesson is missed without giving notice by the required time or student is a no show/no notice, the student accepts the missed lesson as a loss of instruction time.

 ·        Video lessons are sent when a student is absent - this way the student can continue progress on missed lesson weeks. Video lessons include valuable instruction such as music listening & guided worksheets, ear training, theory, and music history – all of these build upon what students are learning and are an important part of the studio philosophy of creating well rounded musicians.

·        In-person makeup lessons will be at the discretion of the administration, are not guaranteed, and should not be expected.

·        Persistent absences or cancellations will lead to a termination of lessons and dismissal from the studio, without refund.

·        Should the teacher need to cancel, lessons will be made up in person and moved to another day/time that mutually suits both student and teacher.

 Inclement Weather: Lessons are held year round according to the calendar. If you do not feel comfortable attending in-person, the lesson will be held virtually.

 Drop off/Pick up: Parents may drop off their students or park and come inside to our waiting area while students are in lessons. There is also play area outside for siblings; we ask that you supervise your child(ren) at all times when they are outside or in the waiting area.

 Withdrawal from the Studio: Students may depart at any time; a break of one month or more will be considered a withdrawal.

·        No refunds are given for students who leave mid-month.

·        Students who re-enroll at a later time are not guaranteed their previous lesson time/day and will be charged the registration fee upon re-enrollment.
