POLICIES AND PAYMENTS

I offer a free half-hour trial lesson for all new students wishing to enrol in lessons. The student must contact me to schedule a time, and will receive a Zoom link upon request.

Lessons and policies are based on the quarter system. When students enrol for lessons, they are committing at least to one quarter of lessons. Fall, (beginning in September), Winter (beginning in January), and Spring, (beginning in March). 

  • Packages: choice of 1/2 hour, 45 minutes, or 1 hour lessons monthly packages
  • 1 hour lesson package: $325
  • 45 minute lesson package: $242
  • 1/2 hour lessons package: $151

Payment deadline

  • Payments are due on the 1st day of each month

Making payments

  • Payments can be made through e-transfers. 
  • For Canadian students payments can be done through Interac.
  • Contact me for information
  • Payments are are due on the 1st of each month.

Because families usually travel during Spring Break, Christmas and  Summer, parents and students can make their own packages on those months. First, they must choose how many lessons they would like to take on those months. Then, a plan for the whole month must be made ahead of time, and payment made at the beginning on the 1st of the month as usual.

COST OF INDIVIDUAL LESSONS:

1 hour lesson: $75.00

45 minute lesson: $56.00

Half hour lesson: $37.00  

(Example: You know that you will travel during Spring Break and will miss two weeks of lessons. Since March has five weeks, you will only take three lessons. If you take 1 hour lessons, then, for three lessons, you will pay $75×3, which is $225, and which is due on the 1st of March).

Students will be allowed 1 missed lesson per quarter, with the possibility of rescheduling a make up lesson for 1 missed lesson. After 1 lesson, regardless of advance notice, students will forfeit their payment for any lessons missed. All missed lessons must be notified within 24 hours or a make up lesson will not be rescheduled. If a student gives no notice of missing a lesson, I will wait in the Zoom room for 15 minutes, and if the student still doesn’t show up, I will leave, and the student will lose that lesson without the possibility of making it up. 

  • If a student gets sick he/she must notify me ASAP, and must provide a note from their parents/doctor. If possible, a 24 hour notice must be provided. 
  • Sickness does not include reckless behaviour, such as losing the voice after screaming at sport events, for instance.

Excusable emergencies are only related to health. All other situations must follow the rules of the studio.

Lessons missed due to valid illness and accompanied by parent/doctor note are separate and do not count toward the 1 missed lesson per quarter quota. 

If I know ahead of time that I have to miss a lesson I will notify the parents and make arrangements ahead of time for a make up lesson. If I neglect to show for a lesson I will offer a make up a lesson as well as a free lesson in compensation. 

PLEASE NOTE: by taking lessons in this music studio you agree to follow these policies. Policies will be enforced and no exceptions made. Thank you for your understanding!
