Attendance/Cancellation Policy
· Any cancellations, conflicts or scheduling issues
must be communicated by the parent.
· In the event that a lesson needs to be rescheduled or
canceled, advanced notice is appreciated by the 5th of each month so as
not to add any confusion to the billing process.
· If advanced notice is not received before the 5th
of each month, the full rate of the lesson will be charged, except in the case
of an emergency.
· Rescheduling will be at the availability and
discretion of the instructor.
Payment Policy
· Invoices will be emailed on the 20th of
each month reflecting all lessons, music purchases and additional services for
that month. The only exception will be the month of December.
· Payment is due by the last day of the current invoiced
month.
· Please make checks payable to Megan DeLaura. Cash or
online bill pay is also accepted.
Lesson Materials Policy
· Students are expected to bring all necessary lesson
materials (lesson books, sheet music, staff paper, pencil, water, etc) to every
lesson.
· Students may reimburse the instructor for sheet music
purchased, or may purchase their own music.
Practice Policy
· Individual practice policies will be determined by the
instructor, based on the student's age, level and personal goals, in an effort
to satisfy expectations for each lesson.
· Daily, disciplined, organized practice sessions are
necessary for the full benefit of lessons. For example, 15 minutes of
practicing "well" is more beneficial than one hour of "just
playing or singing".
· Students preparing for an audition should practice more
than the recommended practice regimen.
Observation Policy
· Parents are welcome to observe lessons anytime they
wish with the student's permission and the understanding that this may be an
unnatural situation for some students.
· Students may not bring friends or siblings to their
lesson unless previously approved by the instructor.
· Parents may call or email to discuss the progress of
their child at any time.
