IF the student will be unavailable between June 1 and August 31 contact me so we can make arrangements. These summer lessons are not to be considered 3 lessons that finish off the school year payment period (May) or any other payment period. You are responsible for scheduling these summer lessons.
    • 3 summer lessons is the minimum number of summer lessons. All students are encouraged to take more so skills learned during the school year do not slip away over the summer.

  1. PAYMENTS NOT RECEIVED ON TIME WILL BE SUBJECT TO A $30.00 ADDITIONAL CHARGE.

I am willing to make-up lessons either in person or via Skype. Make-up lessons will be Saturday from 10:00 AM to ending at 1:30 PM if there is not an available time slot during the week. If you have childcare please inform them of this cancellation policy.
  2. All lessons are paid for whether the lesson is taken or not. IF your child attended school on a lesson day they are expected to take a lesson.  If you choose Saturday as your lesson day, then regular attendance is expected.
