The teacher may need to reschedule lessons due to professional performing engagements or illness. If a lesson is canceled by the teacher, the lesson will be rescheduled to the best of the teacher and parent’s ability. If a make-up lesson cannot be scheduled, the student will receive a credit for the following month.
- Only 2 excused absences will be allowed per semester (Sept-Dec, Jan-May).
An absence is excused provided that I receive a call, voice mail, or email BEFORE 10 AM on the day of the lesson.
- If a lesson is excused, the student will receive a credit for the following month or a make up lesson can be scheduled (within the month of missed lesson). After 2 excused absences, a student cannot receive a credit, but a make-up lesson may be scheduled (within the month of missed lesson), schedule permitting. Any missed lesson that I do not receive a call, voice mail, or email before 10 am on the day of the lesson is unexcused and the student WILL BE CHARGED for the lesson.
Make up lessons are subject to availability.
- Summer lessons (June-August) are scheduled more freely due to vacations and camps. All absences are excused (provided I receive a phone call, voice mail or email) during this period. Regular lessons are HIGHLY recommended or else the student will lose some of their skills and will have to relearn it again when they resume in the Fall.
