Studio Policies
School Year: We teach lessons all year long, there is no sign up at the beginning of each semester. The school year is from August 15th to June 1st and serve as a means to simplify scheduling and paperwork. The new school year on August 15th starts the annual registration fee.
Summer Lessons: Students may opt for by lesson charges in the summer (June, July, August). To keep a private time slot and not lose it, summer classes must be kept at a minimum of 6 purchases to be used throughout the summer.
Lessons: Music Lessons are charged on a monthly flat rate basis. Extra weeks are not charged but will be counted as makeups for school holidays. Lessons are charged on a monthly basis by automatic credit card charge two days before the first of the month.
Tuition: Tuition is auto charged to a credit card two days before the month begins or on the 28th of the month prior. If tuition is not collected due to insufficient funds, cancelled card, or any other reason after seven days of the due date a $25 late fee will be incurred and may result on a hold of lessons.
Cancellations and Makeups: Once a private lesson is scheduled, cancellations less than 24 hours will not be rescheduled and will be considered used. Two makeups can be pre scheduled a year (one in the fall semester and one in the spring semester), although each makeup must be made within the month of the missed class. Individual teachers may allow for an extra makeup. After two makeup classes, group classes may be taken in lieu of a private makeup. If student is sick lessons will be given through zoom or facetime. Group class students may schedule attendance in another group class to receive a makeup. Group class students may not take private lessons to make up several missed group classes.
Refund: Refunds are not given. Proper notice must be given for withdrawal (see policy). In case of a missed class by the teacher a makeup will be given.
Inclement Weather: If the school closes due to inclement weather, a notice will be posted on the school’s website, social media pages, and an email will be sent to students. Gracenote Classical Academy of Music will host the lesson online.
