Weekly Music Lessons

Cancellation Policy

To help ensure a smooth and consistent experience for every student, all students (or their parent/guardian) will be required to review and sign our Music Lesson Policies. These policies are designed to support the success of each student and contribute to the long-term stability of Studious Music Studios. 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 before your first lesson of the month, or at your first lesson of the month, pending on your payment method. You can pay online via Venmo or in person via cash, check, or card. 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.
