FOLLOW MUSICALGROWTH


Studio Policies

Thank you for being part of Musical Growth. These policies create a consistent, respectful, and productive learning environment for every student. Clear expectations allow lessons to run smoothly and support long-term growth.

Scheduling & Enrollment

Lessons are scheduled in recurring weekly or bi-weekly time slots.

  • Enrollment reserves your specific time on the studio calendar.
  • Tuition reflects the reservation of that time, not just attendance.
  • Ongoing lessons begin after the free intro session confirms a good fit.

Reserved lesson times are held exclusively for each student.

Tuition & Payment

Tuition rates are outlined on the Pricing page.

  • Tuition is due at the beginning of each 4 lesson cycle.
  • Lessons are confirmed once payment is received.
  • Tuition is non-refundable once the month has begun.

Consistent tuition allows for stable scheduling and long-term progress.

Attendance & No-Shows

Definition of a “No-Show” is:

  • Missing a scheduled lesson without prior notice.
  • Arriving more than 15 minutes late.

No-shows are charged in full and are not eligible for make-up lessons.

Student Cancellation Policy

A minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule a lesson.

  • Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice are charged in full.
  • Notice must be provided via email or the official scheduling system.
  • Text messages or last-minute notifications may not qualify as official notice.

Except in legitimate emergencies, these standards apply consistently.

Lesson times cannot be reassigned on short notice.

Teacher Cancellation Policy

Musical Growth honors the same 24-hour standard.

  • If the teacher cancels with less than 24 hours’ notice, a free make-up lesson will be offered.
  • If cancellation occurs with more than 24 hours’ notice, the lesson will be rescheduled.
  • In rare emergencies, flexibility and fairness will apply.

Make-Up Lessons

Make-up lessons are available when at least 24 hours’ notice is given.

  • Make-ups should be scheduled within the same month whenever possible.
  • Make-up lessons cannot be carried over indefinitely unless agreed upon in advance.
  • No-shows are not eligible for make-up lessons.

The goal is consistency, not ongoing rescheduling.

Punctuality & Practice Expectations

Lessons begin and end at the scheduled time.

  • Late arrival does not extend the lesson. Though we'll always try our best to accommodate
  • Students should arrive prepared and ready to begin.
  • If the teacher is slightly delayed, reasonable effort will be made to adjust accordingly.

Progress depends on engagement outside of lesson time.

  • Students are encouraged to practice consistently between lessons. Musical Growth emphasizes sustainable habits, confidence-building, and curiosity — not perfection.
  • Parents are encouraged to support younger students in developing simple, consistent routines.

Parent Involvement

Open communication supports steady progress.

  • Parent involvement is encouraged for younger students.
  • For older students and teens, involvement may vary depending on maturity and independence.

Online Lessons

For online sessions:

  • A stable internet connection is required.
  • Instruments and materials should be ready before the lesson begins.
  • If technical difficulties occur, reasonable efforts will be made to continue or reschedule as appropriate.

Discontinuing Lessons

If a student chooses to discontinue lessons:

  • A minimum of 7 to 14 days’ written notice is required.
  • Tuition may be refunded for any remaining lessons that have not yet been taught, unless otherwise agreed upon.

Holiday schedules and studio breaks will be communicated in advance.

  • Monthly tuition remains consistent unless otherwise agreed upon.

Clear communication ensures fairness and stability for both families and the studio.

Respect & Learning Environment

Musical Growth is committed to providing a positive and encouraging learning environment.

Students are expected to:

  • Respect the teacher and treat all materials needed for the lessons with care.
  • Participation with effort and cooperation is encouraged!

While it does not happen often, repeated disruptive behavior may result in lesson termination.

Student information is handled with care and discretion.
