Parent's Presence & Media Policy
If student is a legal dependent, a legal guardian or responsible party must remain present. If this is not possible, we do have a consent form available for your student to be at our studio without supervision. We do have cameras to protect the integrity of students and instructors alike. Guardian should be prompt to pick up student at conclusion of the lesson.
When hosting lessons in your home, parents/legal guardians must also be present within the premise. Lesson teachers will not provide child care for other children or the student. Parents are required to provide a suitable space for lessons to take place: hygienic, free from reasonable distractions, and "in the open" (lessons will not take place in bedrooms or too private of quarters). If these requirements are not met, then lessons may be requested to be held at our studios until requirements are met.
Students may have their pictures and/or videos taken of them during performances or lessons. These may be used for learning purposes, advertising, on other social media platforms, or in Newsletters, even if lessons cease to be taken. If you wish for your child not to participate in these, please let us know before lesson payments are made.
Student Cooperation
Sometimes children don't WANT to learn an instrument. We understand this frustration, and will do our best to motivate learning. However, we do not recommend forcing children to take lessons.
If a student chooses to "walk out", or refuses to participate, refunds are not available. Students are only obligated to schedule for one month or 4 sessions of lessons, and may be discontinued if they wish.
Attendance and Tardiness
Due to the tight scheduling involved in traveling instructors, students are required to show up on time and be ready for the lesson. If students are late, they will finish out the duration of their lesson that is left. Sometimes time missed can be added onto future lessons if it is available
If a lesson is completely missed without prior communication, the session is still considered valid and will not be able to be rescheduled. If a student does not show to 3 or more lessons, it will be assumed that the student has dropped the course.
