- Lesson Policies
- Lessons are taught in monthly blocks of either 4 or 5 weeks. Continuing students are expected to attend their regularly scheduled lesson each week for the month.

- Cancellations must be made by phone, email, or in person to the Music Administrator.
Scheduled cancellations (vacations, etc) should be made at least 7 days in advance.
Unscheduled cancellations must be made at least 48 hours in advance.
Cancellations by the student with less than 48 hours notice will be considered for makeups at the discretion of the instructor and only in cases of family emergency or illness, and only if notice was received prior to the lesson time. - No refunds or credits will be issued for missed or cancelled lessons. Repeated cancellations or missed lessons can result in a forfeiture of lesson time.
