Studio Policies

The year is divided into five 7-week sessions.  All students are registered for 7 private lessons and 2 group ensemble lessons per session.  Group lessons in Spring Session I are small performance groups used for preparation of the solo recitals.  No group lessons are held during Summer Session.  However, to keep a level payment plan, the group studio fee is spread evenly over all five sessions.

Most schedule conflicts with a student’s private lesson time can be anticipated in advance.  For that reason, students are encouraged to make lesson trades with other students.  The procedure is to notify your teacher of the conflict date as soon as possible (minimum 2 weeks advance notice is preferred).  She will give you names for possible trades or offer alternative times.  Do not make lesson trades on your own without first consulting your teacher.

It is the responsibility of the student family to call if NOT attending due to inclement weather.  Lessons will not automatically be cancelled on school “snow days”, but a rescheduled lesson time will always be offered if the winter driving is hazardous.

Lessons canceled by students are missed lessons.  Lessons cancelled by the teacher are pro-rated next session.  Students who have missed a lesson are on a “missed lesson” list for 2 months.  If an open lesson spot becomes available, that time will be offered to students on the “missed lesson” list.  However, extra open times are random and cannot be guaranteed.

Three extra weeks are added in the Summer Session to allow flexibility for vacations.  NO other make-up arrangements are accommodated.
