Small Class Size Policy
In order to hold group classes, we must meet a minimum number of students. Most schools would cancel classes that do not meet their minimum. Because we value the ability to provide classes and continue a student’s education, we have developed the following alternative to canceling class.
Class Length Is Determined Based On The Number Of Registered Students As Follows:
- 1-2 students – no group class can be held with only 2 students. If a class falls to this level, the school reserves the right to cancel any remaining classes and either issue a class credit or a refund.
- 3-5 Students becomes a 40-45 minute class
- 6 or More Students - stays at regularly scheduled length (usually 50-55 minutes)
*Toddler Tunes classes will always be 30 minutes in length and require 5 students in order to hold a class.
Class/Lesson Cancellation Policy
If at any time prior to the 5th lesson of the semester you are not satisfied with our school, we will refund all prepaid remaining tuition for those lessons not taken. You must notify the school in writing or by phone before the 5th class in order to get the refund.
For private students, please check with your teacher about their cancellation policy for missed lessons due to sickness or other scheduling conflicts.
