Policies
GET STARTEDWe believe that all students, of all stages, are able to enrich their lives through the study of music in a positive learning environment.
Your privacy is important to us – your contact information will only be used for communication from Velocity Music Academy.
All enrolled students and families of Velocity Music Academy agree to abide by the following policies:
TUITION
Our calendar year is 48 weeks and lesson tuition is a convenient flat monthly fee. The monthly tuition fee will not change regardless of the actual number of lessons per month. Months with 5 weeks are not charged extra and months with 3 weeks are not charged less.
All planned closings are factored into our monthly tuition.
Tuition is paid by automatic credit card payment and is due on the first of each month. We accept all major credit cards.
There are no refunds for tuition after it has been paid on the 1st of the month. Please give us 2 weeks notice if you wish to discontinue lessons. There is no additional fee to cancel your lesson plan.
RECITAL FEE
Our recital fee is $25 per student or $50 per family (2 or more recital participants in the same immediate family). The recital fee is due one week before the recital date and will be charged to the card you have on file for tuition. The recital fee is non-refundable. Please keep in mind that this fee will be due at every recital. It is not a one time fee. Participation in recitals is optional but strongly encouraged.
ATTENDANCE & MAKE-UP LESSONS
There are no credits or refunds for missed lessons. For private students, one makeup lesson is allowed per quarter for illness only. However, the private makeup lesson is only scheduled during your teacher’s open times, and is not guaranteed if your teacher does not have an opening in their schedule. These lessons do not roll over and must be made up by the end of the quarter in which they were canceled.
Lessons canceled by the teacher will always be promptly made up or taught by a substitute.
Group classes or pairs lessons will not have private makeup lessons.
All of our teachers are equipped to teach virtual lessons. If you are unable to bring your child to their lesson simply let our front desk know the morning of the lesson and we can arrange a virtual lesson during your regular lesson time with your teacher!
INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
If we need to close due to inclement weather or hazardous road conditions all lessons will be virtual that day. If you decline a virtual lesson we cannot guarantee an in person make-up lesson. In the case of power outages, we will do our best to reschedule the lesson either with your teacher or a substitute. It may not be possible for your teacher to make-up this lesson and if you decline a lesson with a substitute then the lesson will be forfeited.
SOCIAL MEDIA
We love to show off our students! We never share student last names but we do reserve the right to use student performances and photos on social media and for advertising.
