These are YOUR lessons, and I will do my best to accommodate each student as appropriate to their unique needs and goals.Students will be required to prepare for each lesson, including practicing assigned music, scales, and exercises, and to maintain a weekly practice log (to be arranged on an individual basis, as every student learns in their own way).Payment is due on the first of each month in which lessons take place. An invoice will be sent by the 15th of the month prior. New lesson payments are due upon sign up. Chronic delay in payment may result in lesson cancellation and/or collection action.If a student must miss a lesson, a 24-hour prior notice must be given. Lessons canceled with less than a 24-hour notice will be forfeited. Lesson credits will be given only in the event of an emergency, and the teacher must be notified as soon as possible.Missed lessons that are eligible for rescheduling must be made up within 90 days. It is the student's responsibility to arrange a makeup time with the teacher. If I am unable to provide a makeup lesson, the lesson fee will be credited to the student to cover a future lesson.
