• If a student becomes ill during the day of his/her lesson, contact the instructor directly as soon as possible.

Inclement Weather

• The cost for lesson books is not included in your tuition fees.

• Each student is responsible for purchasing his/her lesson books in a timely manner.

• Students must bring all lesson books to each lesson. Failure to arrive at a lesson with your books will result in a cancelled lesson that you will not be allowed to make up.

Personal Practice

• Each student will be assigned material to practice and prepare for the coming lesson.

• Failure to prepare for your lesson can result in a cancelled lesson that you will not be allowed to make up.

Instruments

• Students are expected to have access to the appropriate instruments in their home, not sharing with a relative or neighbor.

• Students who do not own or rent an instrument will not be accepted for lessons for that instrument. (Exception: first year piano students will be accepted if there is at least an electronic keyboard available in the home)

• Inexpensive, quality instruments can be found locally to purchase or rent. The academy does not provide instruments for lessons other than piano.
