Student Responsibilities

• The lesson period assigned each student becomes his personal and financial responsibility.
• Progress results only from regular attendance and preparation. Regular practice is essential to success.
• The instrument the student uses should be kept in good condition. Vocalists should take care to maintain the health of their voices.
• Participation in musical activities of the studio and community is encouraged.

Lesson Attendance

• Time set aside for a student is reserved for that student. It should be a nine-month commitment, paid in monthly installments in advance. No refund will be made for missed lessons except in cases of extended illness.
• Teacher cancellations will be credited on the next statement.
• Advance notice is necessary before termination of lessons.

Adaptation

Individual teachers adapt these guidelines to meet individual studio needs. Discuss any questions of preferences you might have with you teacher.
