MUSIC LESSON POLICIES

WEEKLY LESSONS AND TUITION

 

Can I pay as I go for weekly lessons?
We do not offer a pay-as-you-go option for ongoing weekly lessons. Tuition is billed at a flat monthly rate, which reserves your dedicated weekly time slot. This structure encourages consistent progress and supports the strength of the studio.

​

Do I pay the same amount every month?
Yes! Monthly tuition remains the same whether there are 4 or 5 weeks. This flat rate ensures predictable scheduling and helps us maintain long-term stability.

​

If I start lessons mid-month, is tuition prorated?
Absolutely. If you begin lessons mid-month, you’ll only be charged for the number of remaining lessons that month. However, please note that we do not prorate for personal planned absences.

​

When is monthly payment due?
Tuition is charged on the first Monday of each month with the card that we have on file. 

If you need a different payment arrangement, feel free to reach out.

CANCELLATIONS AND MISSED LESSONS

​

Do you offer refunds or makeups for missed lessons?
In general, no. Your tuition holds a weekly time slot just for you, and makeup lessons are not guaranteed.

​

If you need to miss a lesson, here are your options:

• Gift your lesson to a friend or family member.

• Switch to a virtual lesson if you were scheduled for an in-person session.

• Skip the lesson (no refund or makeup).

​

Please communicate as early as possible if you'll be absent. Same-day cancellations (except for emergencies or illness) disrupt the schedule and are difficult to accommodate.

If I (the instructor) need to miss a lesson:

• I’ll try to provide a qualified substitute.

• If you choose not to accept the substitute, no credit will be given.

• If no substitute is available, we’ll arrange a makeup. If that’s not possible, you’ll receive a credit on the next month’s invoice.

 

Note: I cannot guarantee that time will allow me to coordinate makeups if the student is absent for our lesson for any reason. If it works with my schedule to provide a makeup, I will coordinate that directly with the student on a case-by-case basis.

​

HOW DO I DISCONTINUE MY LESSONS? 

If you plan to stop or need to change your schedule, please let me know in person or email studiousmusicstudios@gmail.com.

​

We ask for a month to two weeks' notice when discontinuing lessons. and kindly ask for a full month’s notice when discontinuing monthly lessons. 

​

If you cancel after your tuition has been charged, we will:​

• Hold two credits for you to use as single lessons later in the calendar year.

• Refund you the remaining total, after the two credits have been charged. This will only take place if there are more than 2 lessons already paid for. 

This policy helps us manage schedules and ensure fairness to both students and instructors.

 

ONE-TIME LESSONS OR "ONE-OFF" LESSONS

 

Can I sign up for a single lesson?
Yes—“one-off” or single lessons will be offered soon! If you're interested in a standalone lesson instead of a monthly subscription, email studiousmusicstudios@gmail.com for availability and pricing.

​

Please note:

• Full payment is required at the time of booking.

• Single lessons do not guarantee the same time slot each week.

• Once scheduled, single lessons are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled.
