Frequently Asked Questions
READ IN SPANISHDoes Middle C Music provide at-home lessons?
All lessons from Middle C Music take place in the store. We have nine studios and 20+ teachers at our location. Unfortunately, we do not contract with any of our teachers to provide at-home lessons.
Why am I charged for a lesson even if I give one week’s notice that my student will be absent?
Think of signing up for lessons as a weekly commitment to your teacher. When you are absent–even if you give one week or more notice–your teacher will still be at the store at your scheduled lesson time. As such, you are charged for that time commitment to your teacher. However, when you do give us at least one week’s notice of an absence, we will do everything in our power to reschedule your lesson and make sure you and your teacher get the most time possible to work on your music!
What if my student misses a lesson because they are sick?
If your student is absent from a lesson due to an illness, you are still responsible for paying for that lesson time (see above). However, we do realize that illnesses happen at inconvenient and unpredictable times. With that in mind, please call and let us know about the absence as soon as you can and we will do our best to reschedule that lesson for you.
