Group Lesson Cancellations Policy: We do not offer makeup times for group classes. If a class is cancelled BY THE STUDIO for any reason (weather, teacher illness, etc.) a credit will be provided. Students who miss class for any reason will not receive a refund.
Private Lesson Cancellation Policy: (change from '08 - 09) We do not offer individual makeup times for individual lessons cancelled by the student. Students are asked to do their best to keep their assigned weekly appointment time. Please have the courtesy of letting the teacher know in advance that you will be absent. If your lesson is cancelled BY THE STUDIO for any reason (weather, teacher illness, etc.), the teacher will schedule a makeup for a mutually agreeable time or issue a credit to be deducted from the next month's payment. Masterclasses will be offered once per month, the third week of the month. The masterclass will be considered a makeup class for any lessons the student was not able to attend earlier in the month. Students must be prepared to play one song at the masterclass.
Payment Policy: Payment is due, in full, for the monthly tuition amount at the first scheduled class of the month, whether you are present or absent. Payments received after the 7th of the month are considered late. Please add $25 to your payment if you are paying after the 7th. We currently accept checks and cash, but we prefer checks as they provide a better record of payment. We are hoping to accept online payments or credit cards sometime in the near future. E-mail payment reminders will be sent, but invoices will not be mailed unless the customer's account is past-due. Please pay in person (at class) or mail your payment to: Keyboard Adventures, P.O. Box 606, Purcellville, VA 20134.
Practice/ Weekly Assignments: Students will be expected to practice at home on a daily basis, at least 4 - 5 days per week and sometimes complete a written assignment. A "practice sheet" will be given to each student at each group class or individual lesson.
Summer Continuation/ Guaranteeing Fall Spots (Private Students): Keyboard Adventures does not close or break for the summer, although we offer additional camps to enroll in. Private students wishing to guarantee Fall placement for the next year must make a minimum investment in their instruction over the summer, or enroll in an equivalent amount of camps. Students may have up to two weeks of "unpaid" leave for vacation between June and August.
Termination by the Student
To avoid owing any additional fees, please provide two weeks advanced notice in writing before the next scheduled payment is due. You may e-mail your notice to me.
