-
Annual Lesson Plan:
The studio operates on a 40-week teaching calendar from June through May. This schedule allows for built-in studio breaks and holidays throughout the year, while keeping your monthly payment exactly the same. -
Equal Monthly Installments:
Your total annual tuition is divided into 12 equal monthly payments due on the 5th of each month. -
Mid-Year Starts:
If you join the studio after June, your tuition is prorated. We simply calculate the exact number of scheduled teaching weeks left in the year, and divide that adjusted total evenly across your remaining months. -
Predictable Budgeting:
Because tuition is annualized, your monthly payment remains the same each month regardless of 5-week months, major holidays, or scheduled breaks.
24-Hour Cancellation Notice
Up to 3 Flexible Makeup Lessons
To maintain a consistent schedule and
respect reserved studio times, the following policies apply:
-
Reserved Studio Time:
Your tuition reserves a guaranteed, recurring weekly slot. I will always be present and prepared at your appointed lesson time. -
Advance Rescheduling (24+ Hours Notice):
With at least 24 hours notice, students may reschedule up to 3 lessons per calendar year. Make-up sessions are arranged at a mutually agreed-upon time. Additional absences beyond this limit are forfeited. -
Late Cancellations & No-Shows:
Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice and missed sessions cannot be rescheduled or refunded, except in the case of student illness or genuine emergency. Unattended sessions without prior notice cannot be made up. -
Teacher Absences:
Any lesson missed due to the instructor's absence will always be cheerfully rescheduled or credited.
