Make Up Lessons

If a student is unable to attend a session, we are happy to offer a make-up lesson, as long as we are granted a 24-hour notice for private lesson students and a 5-hour notice for group class students. Please notify school staff, not your teacher, of your absence via Phone (301-456-0856) or email (Info@KentlandsMusic.com).

Make up lessons are available to be rescheduled for up to ONE YEAR after the missed lesson. They must be taken in a month where the student has paid a regular tuition, and may not be taken in lieu of regularly scheduled lessons. If a student drops classes for any reason, all stored make-up lessons are nullified, No exceptions. 

Make ups are not offered for ensembles. 

Please note that tuition is non-refundable for any lessons missed or canceled by the student.

If your teacher has to miss a lesson or class, we will give you credit for a make-up lesson.
