Inclement Weather
If the weather forecast predicts inclement weather, please contact your instructor directly to arrange a virtual lesson.
Private Lesson Make Up Policies
The overall school policy is instructors are not required to make up lessons that are missed by the student for any reason. Registration purchases a specific lesson time slot whether it is used or not. However, most instructors will allow makeup lessons due to illness or emergencies. Please inquire directly with your instructor at your lesons.
Summer Lessons
Music education is year-round at the Academy. However, you can take advantage of a Summer 2-Week Allowance to accommodate planned summer vacations. Email the Academy Office and let us know the two dates you will be absent. We will refund back to your credit card for the two dates the month after your vacation dates after confirmation from your instructor that you did not attend your lessons. However, lesson dates listed in your email request that have passed already will not be honored.
The Summer Allowance gives our Academy families and our instructors to take a needed vacation that is, on average, two weeks long. Due to the varying vacations schedules between families and instructors, the Academy expects both families AND instructors to be flexible with makeups during the months of July and August. For the rest of the year, our no-makeup policy applies.
"Dropping out" for several weeks or for the entire Summer is considered a withdrawal, and those procedures should be followed under "Withdrawal Policy". It may be that your instructor will still have room for you at the end of Summer in which case you are welcome to go through the registration process. However, we unfortunately cannot hold a lesson time with an instructor for extended weeks absences.
