E.P.S. Policies
Payments are due monthly or quarterly at the start of that time period. Methods can be cash, check, Paypal, Venmo or Zelle.
I do not teach on holidays. Up to 4 make-up lessons are allowed per fiscal year. These are to be used in the case of sickness, vacations or other events.
To qualify for a make-up lesson at least 24hr notice is required. If a student cannot attend any of the make-up times offered there will be no credit or refund.
At least 1 month advance notice should be given for extended vacations or other events that would cause a pause in lessons for 2 weeks or more.
Students should arrive at their scheduled time. If a lesson begins early, it will end early. Late students can finish the remaining time in their slot.
Weekly practice is defined as “following the written instruction in your lesson notebook”. This does not include playing other music or finished songs.
Required weekly practice: *Beginners 30-60 minutes *Intermediate 60-90 minutes *Advanced 90+ minutes.
Students not able to maintain the minimum amount of practice or not cooperating during lessons will be asked to take a break for at least 1 quarter.
*Students grades 1-5 should set a timer and write their daily minutes in their lesson notebook and have a parent initial under the total each week.
