The instructor must be notified of a student absence 24 hours in advance unless there is a sudden illness or emergency. If the instructor is not notified (unless extenuating circumstances), the student does not qualify for a make-up lesson and will be charged for the missed lesson. If the student cancels the lesson far enough in advance, it is their responsibility to reschedule the missed lesson. By being accepted into my studio it is expected that weekly lessons will be charged for during the school year (unless I am gone or during the holidays). Summer lessons will be offered but not required. Skype lessons will be available during the week for make up lessons if needed. These are to be set up by email. Out of consideration for instructors and the well-being of others, students or their siblings who are ill should not attend lessons.
Instructor Cancellations
The instructor will notify the parents of a cancelled lesson at least 24 hours in advance unless there is a sudden illness or emergency. In this case I will reimburse for any missed lessons on my behalf.
Withdrawals
Out of consideration for the instructor’s income potential, the Academy requests notification to the instructor and/or Academy 2 weeks advance of withdrawal notifying us of the student’s intention to withdraw from private lessons. This allows the instructor time to make plans to take a new student. Any student who does not notify appropriately will owe a $50 charge for improper cancellation.
