Bristol Grove Music Lesson Policy

 

In order for Bristol Grove Music to continue providing quality music education, the following lesson policy must be observed.  Most of us have busy schedules and we have tried to incorporate guidelines that are fair to both the students and teachers

 

• Tuition is $20.00 per ½ hour lesson.

• All lesson payments need to be cash or check made payable to the individual instructor.

• Lesson fees must be paid in advance.  Fees must be paid the last week of the month for the following month’s lessons.

• No lesson will be given if tuition is not prepaid.

• Consistent attendance is vital to success.  With this in mind, please be punctual and attend all scheduled lessons.

• Each student may take three (3) vacation days per calendar year.  These days may be used as needed for vacation or other pre-arranged obligations.  All other absences need to be made up.  Any absences that are not made up are unexcused.

• Each student must give at least 24 hours notice if they will be absent otherwise the lesson is unexcused.  In the event that you are unable to be at a scheduled lesson, please call the teacher and a make up lesson will be scheduled.

• After two consecutive unexcused absences, you will be dropped from the schedule.  Any unused tuition will be forfeited.

• If lessons are terminated by the parent(s) with at least two (2) weeks notice, unused tuition will be refunded.  If lessons are terminated without prior notice, no refund will be granted.  

• If the teacher is absent, tuition will either be carried forward or a makeup lesson will be scheduled.  This decision is left up to the teacher.

• Bristol Grove Music will be closed for the following holidays: New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4^th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.  We will be open on all other days except Sunday.

• Students arriving for a lesson must check in at the front desk.

• All students under 16 years old must wait at the end of a lesson to be picked up by a parent or responsible adult.

• Any music books needed for a lesson must be purchased before the lesson.  No books   or merchandise are to be removed from the store until they are paid for.

• Parents are welcome to sit in on any lessons.  Questions concerning student progress are always encouraged.
