Private Music Lesson Policies 2007
Welcome to Southland Music Center and to the experience of private music lessons. Let me go over the new policies which will become effective April 1st, 2007.
- Only monthly payments will be accepted. You may no longer pay weekly for lessons.
- If you need to miss a lesson, you may reschedule the lesson for another day and time in the current week. Perhaps you can have two lessons the next week or an hour lesson for the make-up. You may not carry over this missed lesson to the next month and subtract the lesson fee from the next month's fee. We understand that situations develop when lessons must be missed, but you have the responsibility of rescheduling the lesson. Our teachers teach because they want to develop music skills in their students. In order to learn, a student needs lessons on a regular basis. Also, our teachers are here to earn money from teaching. It is not fair that they sit idly because of student cancellations.
- Be sure to know whether to call the teacher or the store to cancel and reschedule a lesson. The store phone number is 734-287-4480.
- Each teacher has the liberty of making additional guidelines for payment. Some teachers want payment the week before the new month begins.
- We do not require you to sign a long term contract. We feel each month stands by itself in your attendance and payment.
Let me review some basic guidelines for lessons.
- Please arrive promptly and bring your instrument and books.
- Parents should be sure to arrive a few minutes early to pick up their children so they can talk to the teacher if there are any questions.
- Learning music is fun but also very challenging. It is recommended that the student finds time everyday to practice. Usually two 15 minute periods per day is good. Consistency is the key! 15 minutes a day is better than two hours spent the day before a lesson.
- Students should know the name of their teacher and the teacher's phone number.
Remember, you may cancel a lesson, but you need to reschedule it or pay for the missed lesson. Taking two or three lessons per month is no longer acceptable.
