A one time $35 registration fee is assessed with each new student (no registration fee for returning students, no matter previous class type).
Teachers will treat all students and family members with dignity and respect at all times.
Teachers will be on time and present for all scheduled lessons/classes, barring emergencies, pre-planned vacations, illness, or inclement weather.
If the teacher has to cancel class for any reason, class will be rescheduled.

ATTENDANCE
Students/Parents/Guardians can cancel attendance for classes/lessons in the studio portal.
Any music lesson cancelled by 11:55pm the day before your scheduled class in the portal will automatically receive a make-up credit.
Music lesson make-up credits can be used in the make-up scheduler in the studio portal to choose an open make-up lesson slot and request it at least 1 day prior to the start time.
