Studio Policy Private Lessons
All fees must be paid in full prior to commencement of first lesson.
Missed lessons are the student's responsibility and can not be refunded.
1. Lessons: Lessons are once a week. Other arrangements are possible. A minimum of 4 lessons per month is required.
2. Tuition Payments: Lesson fees are as follows: 30 minutes = $22. Payment of Tuition for one month $88(four lessons) is due at or before the first scheduled lesson of each month. Tuition reserves your exclusive lesson time. Tuition is non-refundable. Tuition does not include music books. All fees are non-transferable, and are G.S.T. exempt.
3. Late Payment Fee: Payments for tuition and other student expenses are due by the FIRST lesson of each month. Payments received after that will not guarantee a student's appointment time. A late Fee of $10 is charged for payments received after the due date. $20 dollars is charged for an N.S.F. (non-sufficient funds) cheque.
4. Rescheduling: Two weeks advanced notice is required for planned vacations, scheduling problems, or conflicts. Thus you and I will be able to make adjustments to the schedule so that the minimum requirement of 4 lessons per month is met. Any cancellations for which proper notice (two weeks) has not been given will be forfeited.
5. Siblings or non-students: are not allowed to be in the studio during lessons. They are extremely distracting to the student and the teacher.
6. Suggested Equipment: An acoustic piano. An acoustic piano must be taken care of and tuned at least once a year. An Electronic Piano or Keyboard. It must have full size keys (61), and be touch-sensitive or have touch-response.
7. Required Books: It is required that books be purchased. For example: Lesson Book, Notespeller, and Recital Book. (From Alfred's Basic Piano Library).
8. Practice Guidelines: Parental involvement is vital to the child's continued interest. Daily practice is expected. Practice within the first 24 hours after a lesson is most important.
9. Please wash hands before lessons: Instruments are expensive and require special care and respect. At the studio, the piano keys can become a medium for communicable diseases. Cleanliness can reduce this factor.
10. Termination: One month advanced notice is required for termination of lessons. Once a student embarks on a school year of study, it is expected that they will complete it. I reserve the right to remove any student from the teaching schedule who does not meet the requirements of the Studio Policy.
11. Instructors: L.M.J. Music reserves the right to make instructor changes at any time. In the event that a teacher must be absent due to illness, or performance, a teacher from within the L.M.J. Music staff will cover their lessons.
12. Publicity: L.M.J. Music reserves the right to photograph students during lessons and performances and to include pictures on promotional materials, the L.M.J. Music website and/or the L.M.J. Music news. Should you object to the use of your photo or your child's photo, please indicate your choice on the main Registration Form when signing up.
I have read and fully understand and agree to the Studio Policy as stated above.
