General Lesson Agreements

1) Rescheduling Lessons and Makeup Lessons:

  • To reschedule a lesson, kindly provide a 24-hour notice. This allows us to transfer your lesson credit to a different date.
  • Rescheduled lessons are considered “makeup lessons.”
  • Makeup lessons can be scheduled 7 days before or after your regular lesson, subject to teacher and student availability.
  • Once rescheduled, these makeup lessons cannot be rescheduled again.

2) Cancellations:

  • Cancellations within the 24-hour window do not qualify for makeup lessons.
  • Late cancellations result in the lesson credit being forfeited.

3) Lesson Reservation:

  • Payment must be secured to reserve a lesson.

Monthly Tuition Agreements

1) Payment Method:

  • Upon registration, an active credit card is required for monthly tuition autopay.
  • Cash payments are not accepted for monthly plans.

2) Tuition Reservation:

  • Tuition secures a designated time with a given teacher each week.
  • Monthly payments are required irrespective of the student’s attendance.

3) Billing Cycle:

  • The tuition fee is $160 for 30 minute lessons and $320 for 60 minute lessons.
  • The tuition fee for the upcoming month’s lessons will be automatically processed on the 26th of each month prior using the credit card information stored in your student account.
  • The monthly tuition fee remains constant regardless of the number of lessons in the month, including national holidays resulting in closures. This consistency ensures your reserved day and time.
  • The tuition plan is based on a 48-week system averaging 4 lessons per month.  Occasionally, a month may only have 3 available lesson dates; however, this will balance out because some months will have a 5th available lesson date.

4) Autopay and Proration:

  • Monthly tuition payments will not be prorated for canceled lessons or makeup credits.
  • While makeup lesson credits can carry over to the next month, future billings will not be adjusted.
  • Any rollover makeup credit will result in an extra lesson the following month.

5) Cancellation of Monthly Tuition:

  • In order to cancel monthly tuition, please submit the form below by the 24th of the given month.
  • Monthly tuition payments are non-refundable for notices received after the 24th.
  • In such cases where the student needs to withdraw from the calendar, credit can be retained in their profile for future lessons or utilized as store credit for merchandise.
