The document outlines the private lesson policies for an organization including payment, registration fees, makeup lessons, cancellations, withdrawals, materials, and parental involvement. Tuition is automatically charged monthly via credit/debit card or bank draft. Students can have up to two makeup lessons per year with advance notice for extenuating circumstances. Lessons cancelled due to weather will not be made up or receive a discount, while other cancellations will either be made up or receive a $10 credit. One month advance notice is required to withdraw and terminate payments. Students should budget $30-40 annually for music and supplies. Parental support through communication is important for student success.
