Jodie’s Studio
Policies
Please take a moment to read the following in detail, print, initial, and sign:
***kindly return at first lesson of September***
__ 1. If I, the teacher, am unavailable for a scheduled lesson I will make the lesson time up on
another date, OR extend two lessons by 15 min, OR give a refund if the other options are not available.
No allowances will be made for lessons missed by a student except by special arrangementor in the case of prolonged serious illness. Lessons will not be changed to accommodateschool trips, sports, family holidays, sick days, etc.
We can try to arrange a switch with another student, if possible, the courtesy of a week’s notice will be most helpful, and the switch will not always be possible. If the student is away for an entire week, it is not possible to make up that lesson.
Missed lessons will be charged as normal lessons as that 30/45/60 min block has been
reserved for the whole school year. This policy is used by my colleagues and is the industry standard and is not unique to my studio (please see ORMTA Policy on website).
__2. All lessons are to be paid in advance on the first of the month.
There are 3 options for payments:
A) E-transfer on the 1st of each month for amount indicated on invoice;
B) Full annual tuition due at first lesson;
C) Two half payments of tuition dated for first lesson and second half dated for February first.
If payment is delayed for a significant amount of time, lessons will be cancelled, and the spot will be given to a student on the waiting list. If a financial situation has arisen, please contact me to discuss options. I also have access to scholarship/bursary opportunities to help out in the event of an unforeseen financial situation.
__3. If a student wishes to discontinue lessons, a month’s notice must be given. Lessons will continue for that month and payment for the month.
__4. All current music books (if applicable) are expected to be purchased and brought to all lessons.
__ 5. Lesson amounts are indicated on the invoice. In September there is an
annual administration fee. $55 per student.
__6. It is necessary for you to have a quality instrument for your child to practise on during the week. An acoustic piano is preferred but a full-sized digital piano is also acceptable. A correctly tuned instrument is essential to developing proper technique, ear training, tone production, and performance habits. Please contact me to discuss options for your child.
***I have read and fully understand the policies as outlined above.
