Grant's Piano Lessons
Student Attendance and Payment
Billing occurs at the end of the month prior in the form of a statement that you will pay at the beginning of the following month to cover services this month. Your billing statement will also list the lessons taught or canceled during the previous month. If there is a student cancellation(s), this will be noted on the statement but will not be deducted. If there is a teacher cancellation(s), this will be reported and deducted from the monthly rate for the next month, depending on the four- or five-week month for your day of lesson. The adjusted rate is for the missed lesson, not the month billed. The lesson rate will often be the same each month, but it can vary.
Student Cancellations
If you need to reschedule a lesson, please let me know immediately. While canceled lessons are not credited, with enough notice, there is a greater chance of finding an agreed-upon time for rescheduling. Not all cancellations will result in rescheduling if a make-up lesson day and time cannot be agreed upon within one week of the missed lesson.
Make-Up Policy
Each student will have one make-up lesson at no additional cost. However, each additional make-up lesson is $5 more up to $20: 2nd time $10, 3rd time $15, 4th time
$20
Late to a Lesson
If you arrive at a lesson late, I will give you the remaining time from the original start time. I cannot offer a make-up for the missed time due to late attendance.
No-Show
No Show: I will contact you to check in if you are away from home within five minutes of the start time. I’ll give each student fifteen minutes to arrive before I leave the lesson.
No-shows are not eligible for rescheduling.
Ending Lessons
You must notify me before the 8th day of the month if you are quitting lessons to receive a refund for the remaining lessons in the month.
Teacher Cancellations
If I need to cancel and no make-up time aligns with your schedule, then the lesson rate for that week will be subtracted from the bill for the next month.
​
There are 41 home Colorado Avalanche games per season. On the days that games fall on, students have top priority for rescheduling lessons that week. I will send out the Avalanche Home schedule in late Summer.
​
If I am late to a lesson, I will offer to adjust the rate for that lesson or, if possible, add extra time for that lesson or the next.
Snow Days and Weather Cancellations
If bad weather cancels an in-person instruction, ideally, the lesson will be streamed over
Zoom. If this isn’t possible, you can arrange a makeup lesson, if available, for an
extra cost of $5. Lessons not attended via Zoom or rescheduled later in person will be
shown as a student cancellation on the billing statement.
Holidays & Summer Break
A holiday week is a week without regular instruction. School-wide holidays are included in the monthly tuition cost. These are the weeks for Thanksgiving (Tuesday through Sunday), Winter Break (two weeks), and Spring Break (one floating week, depending on your family’s or vacation itinerary in March and April).
Tuition for music lessons is set at a monthly cost. As a result, your monthly charge will remain the same for longer or shorter months. The monthly tuition is fixed, and the advance flat-rate tuition pricing includes holiday weeks with no classes.
​
Summer Break will start after the June recital and end on the second Monday in August. Although Summer lessons are not required, they guarantee your spot on my roster in the Fall. You must take at least two lessons per month to be considered still on my roster during the Summer months. If you are unavailable during the Summer, you can hold your roster spot by paying two weeks of tuition per month for June and July. You are allowed to stack summer Lessons. EX: If you are gone for all of June but available for four lessons in July, you do not need to pay for two lessons in June to retain your designated weekly lesson time.
