Tuition

GET STARTED

PUNCTUALITY: All lessons are scheduled back-to-back, so please try to arrive on time so you receive the time you’ve paid for. We cannot “go over” for students who arrive late, as this is not fair for the following students. Parents must not drop children off earlier than 10 minutes before their class. Students must be picked up immediately following their class. We cannot be responsible for overseeing students outside of class. If you arrive early or while another lesson is finishing, please come in and sit quietly in the waiting area. Your teacher will open the door when it is time for your lesson. ____

TUITION: The full month’s tuition is due at the first class of each month. You may not deduct for lessons that you expect to miss. A late charge of $10.00 must be included for tuition received after the second class of each month. Bills will be sent only if tuition has not been paid by the end of the month. A $25.00 fee is charged for all returned checks. NO REFUNDS ARE GIVEN ON TUITION. ____

A $24 per student/$36 per family non-refundable, annual registration fee is due at the time of registration. This fee will be pro-rated according to the month you start. After that, the fee will be due the first week of January of every year. ____

MISSED CLASSES: We allow a total of 2 make-up credits per quarter, as long as 24 hour notice is given. Students must notify of a lesson cancellation a minimum of 24 hours prior to lesson time. If 24 hours notice is given, then a make-up credit will be applied. If less than 24 hours notice is given, no make-up will be given. Any missed lessons which are not made-up by the end of the month may still be made-up the following month, however they cannot be used as discounts towards your next month’s bill. Please remember it is your responsibility to call and re-schedule missed lessons. You have 1 year to use a makeup credit after it is given. ____

If students no-show with no communication for three consecutive weeks, they will be withdrawn from lessons and will forfeit any remaining classes and makeups linked to their subscription. ____

TEACHER ABSENCES: In the event that your teacher is absent we will do our best to provide another instructor to teach your lesson at your usual time. You will only be notified if another teacher is not available. If you opt out of taking the lesson with the sub instructor, no credit will be issued. If we do not have another instructor to teach you at your usual time, you will be notified and given the option to either re-schedule the class or take a credit. ____

WITHDRAWAL: If you wish to withdraw from lessons, families must give Reeder Music Academy 30 days written notice. The withdrawal form can be found in-person at the front desk, or emailed directly upon request. The full tuition amount must be paid through the 30 day period. ____

SUMMER SCHEDULE: During Summer Break students may skip a total of 2 weeks of lessons without being billed, but all other missed lessons must be paid for and made-up. We find the summer months to be very easy to schedule make-ups, since children are out of school. When possible students may schedule 2 lessons a week for the purpose of make-ups. ____

SCHOOL CLOSURES: Reeder Music Academy will be closed for Memorial Day 5/26, 4th of July 4/4-4/5, Labor Day 9/1, Thanksgiving Break 11/26-11/30 and Winter Break 12/22-1/1/25. No make ups will be given for scheduled school closures, as you will already not be charged for these days.

PARENT ETIQUETTE: Disruption of classes by parents, siblings, or others, will not be tolerated. Sitting in the classroom with your child during their lesson is not permitted. In some cases with very young students (4-5 years old) the instructor may request that a parent observe the lesson for the first few weeks. If parents and siblings wish to remain at the academy during the lesson, they may wait in the lobby. Siblings must be monitored by parents and must not be a disturbance in the classroom or the waiting area. Students and siblings must not be left at the studio without parental supervision. ____

MEDIA RELEASE: From time to time, students may be highlighted in efforts to promote Reeder Music Academy activities and achievements. Students may be featured in materials such as newspapers, radio, TV, the web, DVDs, displays, and brochures. I give Reeder Music Academy permission to use my (or my child’s) likeness in audio, video, film, and digital/printed media. I further release and relieve Reeder Music Academy from any liabilities, known or unknown, arising out of the use of this material. ____
